This is a card I made for my Brother-in-law. Most of the stamps I used here are from my personal collection – it’s easier to name the ones in the current catty! The front was stamped with a wood-grain effect and I punched a 1 3/4″ circle aperture to reveal the Chocolate Chip base underneath. […]

Circle of Friendship, Trendy Trees
It seems strange to be in my craft room creating as I haven’t stepped foot in it for almost the entire month! I have scheduled posts for practically the whole of August. I’ve come down with some sort of bug since Sunday with a raging temperature and now I’ve got a sore throat that feels […]

One Sheet Wonder
At Stampin’ Up! Europe’s very first Convention, Demonstrators learnt how to make this scrapbook album out of one sheet of 12″ x 12″ card stock. Of course throughout the year, I’ve made lots more. This one is for my neighbour’s eldest daughter. In an earlier post, I featured a card I’d made for my neighbour’s […]
July Technique Club projects
These are my July Technique Club projects. This is the first of the two techniques my ladies did. The first was using the stained glass technique. They stamped the butterfly image on vellum in versamark and embossed in black. The stained glass lines were drawn with a versamark pen. They used markers to colour in […]
