I used the Celebration Quick Accents (page 92 code 118708 @ £7.50) to put a strip of numbers on the bottom of the card front, stamped a balloon in Real Red, Pacific Point and Old Olive on Whisper White scraps, cut out the balloons then drew tails with a white gel pen. I attached a strip […]

Party This Way #1
Following my Hostess’ brief for boys birthday cards I tackled the Party This Way set. You’ll find it on page 31 of the Main Idea Book & Catalogue and is available in Wood or Clear mount in a set of 5. See how easy it is to make a card just with stamping candles randomly […]
Summer Splash #4, Texture Jumbo Wheel
This is my final sample using my favourite surfboard images. I used the Texture jumbo wheel to resemble sand with Crumb Cake on Crumb cake and tore strips and adhered to the Tempting Turquoise base card leaving the top edges free of adhesive so I could tuck in my paper pieces. As the surfboards are […]
Summer Splash #3, Fish Frenzy

The smaller fishes are from Fish Frenzy. I sandwiched linen thread between two layers of fish for each fish, knotted the thread […]

There’s a small sealed plastic bag of hair gel sandwiched between the layers in the round scalloped window aperture pocket. It was just perfect to use on the octopus […]

Anniversary card
Goodness me, my daughter and SIL just celebrated their 8th Wedding Anniversary. It only seems like yesterday when she flew the nest. I raided my personal collection to make them this anniversary card, changing the sentiment from “Be My Valentine” to Happy Anniversary instead. It was double stamped so I could cut out the banner […]
Beware Pirates, Tiny Tags
I had the most wonderful workshop last night – a group of lovely ladies I’m getting to know and who all share my passion for Stampin’ Up! My hostess asked for a boys’ birthday theme, so running through August I will be sharing the samples I made for this workshop (that is when I eventually get round to […]
