This is probably my favourite. I only partially inserted the card base into the embossing folder sandwiched between the two acrylic plates and ran through the Big Shot. I struggle with these egg images how best to feature it on a card. Again on the minimalist vein, this does the trick. The sentiment is from […]

Nature Walk #1, Oval All
This is another set of samples I made in a masculine vein and still featuring the Elegant Soiree DSP as my Hostess had requested it but using a different stamp set – Nature Walk. These masculine cards are really quick and easy to make as they are clean and simple, no bows, torn edges rather […]
Little Additions, A Slice of Life, Something to Celebrate
I fell in love with this stamp set called Little Additions when it first came out in the Mini, but having acquired it, I didn’t know how else I could use it apart from what it was originally intended for – babies. I tried my hand at making some origami dresses and wondered how best […]
Elegant Soiree DSP #4, Wedding Sweet
I used Very Vanilla as my card base with a strip of Marina Mist set off centre so that a length of faux ruched Crumb Cake seam binding could be attached discreetly sandwiched between the Marina Mist and Very Vanilla layers. I inked the tiny Wedding Sweet image in Crumb Cake first, then dabbed champagne […]
Elegant Soiree DSP #3, Always Elegant, Cheer & Wishes, Two-step Owl Punch
I used the co-ordinating stamp set for the Elegant Soiree DSP, Always Elegant for this card. The sentiment is from Cheer & Wishes. Colours used here are So Saffron, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie. I punched two owl bodies, one in Crumb Cake and the other in Pumpkin Pie. I cut off the […]
Elegant Soiree DSP #2, Occasional Greetings, Style Beautiful
Another lovely design from Elegant Soiree DSP, my all time favourite sentiment My dear KIND & wonderful FRIEND and finished off with a stamp from Style Beautiful and a faux pearl. Still steering clear of ribbon and being understated so it would appeal to a gent. Hope you like it. Share this… Facebook Twitter Pinterest
….& now for something different – Altered Tins, lunch bags and charms!
I thought my readers might like a change from reading all about cards so I thought I would share these. These altered tins are a blast from the past – I recently gave one away as a present – the large paint can for “bits & bobs” which I am rather fond of. It has been much […]
Elegant Soiree DSP, #1 Occasional Greetings, Wedding Sweet
The next few posts will feature using the Designer Series Papers, Elegant Soiree. These were samples I made for my last workshop. I’ve dipped into one of my favourite greeting sets Occasional Greetings again. It comprises 12 stamps in wood mount and has a sentiment to suit every occasion and for the mileage you get out of it, £30.95 […]
