Hi Everyone! This is a birthday card I made for one of the twins – one loves Flamingos (you know who you are) and the other loves unicorns. I’m not sure if this is a flamingo, or a heron. If it’s a heron, call it artistic licence – I’ll pretend it’s a flamingo – […]
Christmas Countdown Series #5 of 12 – Beautiful Blizzard
Continuing in the vein of simple quick one layer cards to give you a variety as well as a mixture of both traditional stamping and using the Stamparatus too. The Stamparatus is fab for consistency in stamping your sentiments especially if you’re using different ink colours. I especially like the Blizzard thinlits die, because it […]
Halloween Countdown #5 of 6 – Cauldron Bubble Candy Corn
I always have to pay a premium for candy corn every year – because when I plan and film my projects ahead of Halloween, I cannot source them locally in the shops. Consequently I weigh and repackage them into Stampin’ Up!’s handy 2″x 8″ cello bags (which are trimmed to fit a 4″ high pouch) […]
All The Good Things – Bonsai
Hello Everyone! Remember the Koi from All The Good Things stamp set I touched on Sunday before last? I thought I’d follow up with one of the Bonsai today. I am simply loving my Stamparatus, Stampin’ Up!’s own brand of stamp positioning tool. To stamp multi-colours on an image, it was standard practice to use […]
Christmas Countdown #4 of 12 – Alpine Adventure
I fell in love with the Alpine Adventure set, mainly because of the dies! I’m loving the concept of incorporating pairs of leaves on a single die which greatly reduces the amount of times you need to run it through the Big Shot to get 2 pairs of leaves! Another bonus is the new gold […]
Halloween Countdown #4 of 6 – Still Night
Hi there! This owl in the Still Night bundle was too pretty really to pass for a “Fright Night” owl, but I was determined I should give it a go and here is the result! I mixed old with new – using a staple “Itty Bitty Greetings” and “Artisan Textures” to set the scene. I […]
A Masculine Card
Happy Sunday peeps! Who ever would’ve thought the Still Night set could masquerade as a masculine birthday card! This was made lovingly for hubby’s birthday in September. Do you remember the check black and white, old olive papers we had in last year’s Autumn/Winter catalogue? I was sorry to see them go, but am SO […]
Christmas Countdown #3 of 12 – Beautiful Baubles
I wasn’t going to get this set, but I could see that the set of dies which coordinate with this set could save me card stock and time in my quest for a one layer card. Having been stung in previous years for using dimensionals on all my cards and rising postage costs, I am […]
