A Sympathy Card

Once in a while we have to make a sympathy card and when that happens it’s always hard to get those creative juices flowing.  Here’s my attempt at one.  I pulled out several stamp sets – Creative Elements for the scrolls stamped on opposite corners in Basic Gray ink mounted on the Basic Gray cardstock, which was […]

My Sunday Share – Petal Cone Die

This is a close up of the  petal cones I made for my display at my Spring Mini Launch Open House way back in January!  Sorry I’ve taken so long to share these properly!  It’s just finding time to photograph, upload and blog them.  The Poppy Parade one features the Fruit & Flowers stamp set (page […]

Easter Blossoms

I am so pleased that this set has been included in our Spring Mini 2012.  This set has been in my personal collection many moons ago.  You can see the original post here.   I think I made this at the time to feature the Blossom Petal Punch, but of course now the emphasis is more […]

Marry Me

Well hello again!  Twice in one day – wonders will never cease!  I just had to post this set as it’s so apt for today.  As 2012 is a leap year and it’s February 29th today,  all those single gals out there can propose to their special guy today!  This stamp set is called “Marry Me”!!!! I’d promised […]

Fruit & Flowers, Petite Pairs

Outlined Occasions, Woodgrain, Tiny Tags

Well, hello everyone!  Where has the week gone?  I have a ticket for the Make-It show in Farnborough which I hope to attend on Sunday so I’m updating the blog tonight as it seems ages since I last posted! This was one of the 3 projects I demonstrated at the workshop I did last Friday.    In true Blue […]

Kids Cards

For my Sunday share – two very quick Cards for Kids.  I’ve taken these photos under natural light without getting my light box set up, so my apologies for the reflection and spots on the photos. We have a Q-stone worktop in the kitchen with bits of mirror/quartz embedded and it bounces light everywhere!  Both […]

Creative Elements, Outlined Occasions

A special card for a special lady celebrating her 50th birthday recently.  I came back from a meeting in Soberton one Wednesday night and realised to my horror that I still hadn’t made her a card and that if I didn’t make it  that night and post it pronto, it wouldn’t reach her in time.  […]
