Under the Big Top, Ain’t Love Grand

My youngest grandson turns 2 this week!  I hit on the idea to make an interactive card and created these “peek-a-boo” windows using the Curly Label, 1 1/4″ square and 1″ square punches.  The 1″ square punch is from my personal collection.   The card front above is a duplicate during the design process so  the balloon part is slightly […]

Fruit & Flowers, Berry Blossoms DSP

This is another sample I made for my workshops way back in February  when  the Spring Mini was launched.  It is a larger version of the one I made as a Hostess gift which you can see here.   The first half of the post was the card I demonstrated at the workshop, and the latter half is […]

Pretty Postage

Last month, one of my classes was all about Pretty Postage, the punch and the stamp set.  Included in the class fee was the postage punch.  Here are some of the different ways it can be used,  pinwheels, sails, and even a flower.  We also made a box to put the finished cards in. As […]

Adieu Sale-a-bration!

It’s time to put Sale-a-bration to bed this year!  My how the time has flown.  On reflection, my favourite was definitely Fresh Vintage which took pride of place in the Sale-a-bration flyer (the very first stamp set in the flyer) – Stampin’ Up! were right to put it there as it flew off the shelf […]

Sale-a-bration ends on Saturday 31st March!

EEEK!  Sale-a-bration is drawing to a close on 31 March – 3 more days left to put those orders in, or join my team – I’ve been harping on about it, I know.  Here’s another sample I made using the lovely Everyday Enchantment papers and that fantastic Postage Stamp punch – no one can tell […]

Big Shot Card!

This is just a quickie post.  There’s very little stamping in this card, instead there’s punching, embossing, die cutting and layering.   Another one of my samples I made for my workshops in March.   Here’s the recipe: Stamps:  Tiny Tags, Fresh Vintage (free Sale-a-bration stamp set with £45 net purchase) Ink: Calypso Coral, Island Indigo, Pool […]
