For this challenge, we had to make a Surprise Pop-Up card. I chose to use the Tea Party Designer Series Paper – the colours are so lovely and fresh, just lovely for the summer. I will be demonstrating this at my Technique Club, so won’t go into the mechanics of how to make this. […]

A Rose is a Rose, Greetings Eight
Shock, horror – no blogging for a week and 4 posts in one day today! In my defence, I couldn’t really post until I was sure everyone had received their cards! This is the last one for today – my Stampin’ Up! Mummy, Amanda, has finally achieved her dream of being self-employed as a full […]
Greetings Eight, Dry Embossing
A star for my Star! It’s brilliant news – my downline has just become a Stampin’ Up! Mummy! I’m thrilled for her and wanted to congratulate her for achieving this with this card.

Inspiring Inkin Challenge #6 Christmas in July

Nursery Necessities, Hidden Message Card
This is a variation on a theme. It looks nondescript from the outside, doesn’t it? The card base is Close to Cocoa, scraps of Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue, Close to Cocoa and Whisper White to mat with. I used the Nursery Necessity stamp set and photos cut precisely to match grid. It’s at times like […]
Technique Club – Grid/Faux tile in a Hidden Message card
For Technique Club this month we made a hidden message card, a fun project to do and definitely with a WOW factor! The ladies worked extremely hard and learnt how to do this Grid Technique using a Scor-It tool and applying it to the hidden message card (butterfly image from Garden Whimsy). They also did […]
