We were so delighted to hear our SIL passed his exams, and even more thrilled and excited that they are coming down to stay with us for a week (especially my daughter with their two adorable boys – they arrive today) so that means I can give him his card personally. I received this stamp set as a birthday […]

Choo Choo #3
Did you know that there is a coordinating wheel to go with this set called Right on Track? I stamped the images on pieces of Whisper White scrap and cut them out so I could pop them up on dimensionals over the track. I drew a cloud on a post-it note and cut it out […]
Choo Choo#2
I stamped another carriage in Daffodil Delight on a piece of Whisper White scrap and cut it out. I cut a small rectangle in Tempting Turquoise, tied some ribbon round it and adhered as shown. I then popped the second carriage image on top with dimensionals. I partially inked the Best Wishes sentiment from Oval All and stamped […]

Well I made a birthday card for my daughter (see post following on from this), and I was experimenting in a style which […]

Fox and Friends #4, Something to Celebrate
I ran the embossing buddy over the whole of the front of the card base before white embossing the sentiment from the Something to Celebrate Hostess Level 2 set. The remaining images were stamped on pieces of Whisper White scrap. I stamped the turtle in Soft Suede first, then stamped another in Almost Artichoke, cut out […]
French Foliage, Something to Celebrate HL2 (mini)
My BIL celebrates his birthday today and is really into his garden so the French Foliage set was just perfect for him. Did you notice I’ve left out something by mistake? Yes, I forgot to put a sentiment on the front. I’ll have to remember to add it before I send it off! I’ve quadruple layered […]
