New Annual Catalogue launch day! The 2024-25 Annual Catalogue has finally arrived! If you have placed an order with me in the last 6 months, a personal copy of the new Annual Catalogue should be winging its way to you. This is a long-ish post, so bear with me, grab a cuppa because I do […]

Sneak Peek – new In Colors
Sneak Peek – the new In Colors for 2024-2026 will be available from 1 May 2024. Not long to wait. I have made some cards to showcase the colours using some items from the Unbounded Beauty Suite Collection on pages 52-55. There are two bundles in this suite. One called Flowers of Beauty which are […]
Zany Zoo Bundle
Zany Zoo Bundle. This bundle is being retired and unfortunately there is no discount on this bundle. I kept meaning to re-visit this set, but never got round to it so only managed to make one card for a blog hop. Angled overlapping gatefold If you’d like more information on how I made this card, […]
Card Medley of Hot Air Balloons
Card Medley of Hot Air Balloons. The Hot Air Balloons stamps and dies are carrying over to the new Annual Catalogue so I pushed it aside to play with in May. I forgot that the gorgeous Lighter Than Air 6″x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Papers which coordinate with this stamp set retires […]

I’m delighted that the Bright & Beautiful DSP is carrying over – a first for Stampin’ Up! because […]
Embossed Birthday card – Sweet Citrus
Embossed birthday card – Sweet citrus. Fruity cards may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I love lemons so I couldn’t resist this stamp set. I also love the Sweet Citrus hybrid embossing folder because it leaves such a deep impression in the card stock. This set is also one that is retiring so […]

Easel card with Rock Star
Easel card with Rock Star. The Rock Star bundle is sadly retiring. I only acquired it recently and also bought the Rock Legend Kit because I thought it complimented each other. The kit is so easy to assemble. I put it together while watching tv. The kit contains 4 each of 2 designs with envelops […]
