Happy Halloween!

Just a quick card (from my personal collection) to wish everyone a Happy Halloween.  I’ve used the new glimmer brads and the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes on page 86 of the Main Idea Book & Catalogue.  The background is the jumbo “Texture” wheel inked in Old Olive. It’s been rather quiet on my […]

Easy Events

Oh dear, has it really been that long since I last posted? My family are visiting from abroad and I seem to be chasing my tail, barely having sufficient time to keep up with my SU committments let alone blog so sadly that has taken a back seat. It was my own team quarterly meeting […]

Halloween Vignettes

Way back in September I made a Halloween “lollie” wreath as part of my pre-launch catalogue event for my Hostesses.  I haven’t had the opportunity to blog it till now. Having seen my Halloween project, some of the ladies asked if I would do a class on how to make it.  I had to completely change […]

The day started with a […]

Delicate Doilies #2, Happiest Birthday Wishes

Introducing Lucky Limeade, one of the new In Colors.  Also featured is Island Indigo, the deep blue – perhaps it’s got a hint of purple to give it that hue.  I thought Indigo suggests purples – but I’m no colour expert.  Can you spot my bespoke ribbon?  I made a tiny ribbon out of a […]

Delicate Doilies, Array of Sunshine

I love using the square lattice embossing folder to add texture to the background.  I first stamped the images from Delicate Doilies which you can find on page 69 of the new catalogue, (122590 in wood mount @ £20.95 and in clear mount – 122592 @ 16.95 and consists of 4 rubber stamp images). I then popped my […]
