Short and sweet today – this stamp set has proved so useful – I go back to it time and again. Tsk, tsk – I’ve used some retired product! I’ve got yards of the flower trim left and it needs using up! I normally wouldn’t put retired product on a card I’m blogging about – […]

Magnetic Platform temporarily discontinued
I am loving our magnetic platform which makes die cutting fancy folds so much easier. By the way, the code for the magnetic platform will no longer be available until our suppliers can meet the demand. As soon as it is available again, I will let you know. In the meantime here’s a card using […]
Gently Falling
Here’s another card using the salted background technique, but with a more masculine feel. The two-step stamping stamps work best as by using the outline image, the background is still visible. For the inside, the two-step stamping has been applied. The more solid image was stamped first, then the line image on top. You will […]

Before I knew it, I’d actually used 5 stamp sets to make just the one card! Here’s what I used. All the stamp sets above and framelits […]
Mosaic Madness & Layered Labels #2
Another card on its side – this time I featured the long staggered bar across the bottom of the card. I punched out a tile to leave an aperture and stamped one of the images through the aperture to create this effect. I stamped a layered label in Crisp Cantaloupe, cleaned the stamp and […]
