Happy Sunday! In my January team training day, this was just one of the many projects I showcased. It’s amazing when you get back to basics how stamping and punches can still create a card you can be proud of. The materials I used were the Bitty Blooms Punch pack (4 mini punches), 2 ink […]

Geared Up Garage Bundle Valentine
I really struggle at Christmas Time to use non-traditional colours – but have no problem pushing the boat out and experimenting at a different time of the year. My thoughts have been veering to Valentine cards of late, before you know it, the 14th will have come and gone so I thought I better get […]
Amazing Life Challenge
As promised here is the video tutorial I mentioned previously, so the layout looks familiar! I had challenged myself to make a Valentine card with this set using the sentiment “So Happy to Have You in my Life”. This set didn’t have anything remotely “Valentine”-ish, so I cheated a little and added another stamp set […]
Meant to Be
Hello and a Happy Sunday to you! I resisted and resisted the temptation to get this set but in the end, the pull of the faux stitching on the dies that coordinate with this set was too great and I caved! The detailed filigree heart is from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits, so this is […]
All That You Are – Gingham Gala
This set almost passed me by, but set against those FREE Gingham Gala Sale-a-bration papers (subject to a qualifying purchase excluding shipping/handling), they make such a refreshing backdrop for the floral image. Often times when the seasonal catalogues arrive, we forget that there are still little gems in the Annual Catalogue we can tap into. […]
Amazing Life – Notecard Swaps
At the time of filming and scheduling this blogpost, these team swaps very nearly didn’t happen. My conscience got the better of me as I felt I could not attend the meeting empty handed. On the penultimate eve of the meeting, I knew sleep would escape me unless I physically got the job done. Consequently […]
Catalogue Inspiration #2
Last week I showed you how I’d taken inspiration from the Spring’Summer Catalogue 2019 and am following up with the other two this Sunday from the Flowering Desert Make your Own Collection. The one above is mine, and by happy or not so happy coincidence, I smudged the sentiment “hi there” when I’d finished! Instead […]
Sale-a-bration Tea Time Framelits!
I often wonder where the quintessentially tradition of taking “Tea” originated. My go to tipple during the day is usually tea, although I like coffee in equal measure, but usually have that as an after dinner drink, and if it’s in the evening, probably the de-caffeinated variety. According to history, afternoon tea was introduced in […]
