Growing Green

I had a wonderful club meeting last night with some wonderful ladies. We experimented with Stampin’ Up!’s new scallop trim and scallop corner punch and used the water colour paper, the crimper, the new basic pearls which are such good value. The pearls come in 3 different sizes, 50 of each, that’s 150 pearls for […]

Just Believe

A couple of “Thank You” cards I dashed off the other day. Excuse the shadow on this photo, I had to take a quick piccie and didn’t use my light tent – had to give it to my husband to deliver by hand so you can see my head and camera poised! I love this […]

Quarterly Meeting Challenge, September 2010

Believe it or not, this started out as a balsa wood picture frame which was given to us to alter as part of the group challenge for Amanda’s Inspiring Inkin’ team. I wanted to showcase the new 1/8″ taffeta ribbons which I threaded through some buttons and also to show the new DSP in the […]

3D Bird and Christmas Cone

BEAUTIFUL CARDS FROM BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!

They’ve been arriving all week, and I’ve resisted the temptation to open them until this morning. DH offered me breakfast in bed to start the day, […]

Bundle of Love Gift Bag, Exploding album

This gift bag and exploding album was inspired by my fellow team mate Hayley who won the Demonstrator’s Showcase at Regional Training recently. I’ve changed it slightly using the new scallop trim border punch to do the edging. She very generously showed us how to make the gift bag and vellum flowers at our last […]

Artistic Etchings

Time to share one of the many cards I made during the “wilderness” period of no new posts way back in September! This is one of the new stamp sets in the new catty called Artistic Etchings. The base card is Cherry Cobbler, one of the new colours in the Regals Collection and definitely one […]
