Colour Your Season – August Promotion

Is it too early for Christmas? If you are an avid crafter, no it isn’t!  Planning ahead is the key, so you don’t panic and as a last resort send shop bought ones!    In today’s climate we lead such busy, frenetic lives, that something a little personal never goes amiss. Cards need not be […]

End of an Era, but not an end

This July will be my 10th anniversary with Stampin’ Up! and also hitting 100 K in Career to date sales.   It had been on my mind since my husband retired a couple of years ago, that I should follow suit and free up some time to enjoy his retirement together.  I am so grateful for […]

Blow out the Candles – Lustrous White Gable Box

The original boxes are indeed a lustrous white – I think it’s made out of shimmery white card stock and you can totally transform its look by colouring them with a sponge brayer or even spritzing them if the mood takes you. I tried both, but settled for brayering as it was less messy and […]

Little Twinkle – Eclipse card

Our Annual Catalogue is always a great resource for inspiration, and I simply CASEd (Copy and Share Everything) from within its pages for this card.  It comes from the Twinkle Twinkle suite on a double page spread on pages 82-83 of the 2018-19 Annual Catalogue. I think their sample was a lot smaller, but I […]

Petal Promenade – Lantern Card

My upline, Amanda, sent me some materials to make up samples for a Display at her team training on  Saturday 14th July,  and I haven’t been able to share till after the meeting was done and dusted. If you are a girlie girl and love flowers, then this pack of DSP is tailor made for […]
