My Stampin’ Up! Mummy, Amanda, set us a challenge to transform a glass into a Hostess gift at our last Quarterly back in May and it was judged today. First, let me say how fantastic all the other entries were too, some did glass painting, rub-ons and wraps for their glasses and popsicle sticks with […]
Inspiring Inkin Challenge#31 Birthday card with any pink shade
This fortnight’s Inspiring Inkin’challenge was to make a birthday card and the side twist was to make it any shade of pink. I won’t go into too much detail as this is what the ladies who attend my “Stamp with Elaine” club will be doing. We meet every third Tuesday of the month, so if […]
Bella Toile, Hello Again
I liked the colour combo with Blush Blossom and Rich Razzleberry which I did on a previous post on Wednesday, June 30th, I duplicated it in these cards to my team of “Inkin’ Divas” – I used the Blush Blossom for my base and used the Bella Toile background stamp as a feature and just […]

Father’s Day Card
With a bit of selective stamping (blocking out bits of words I didn’t want) I managed to stamp “happy Father’s day”) for the sentiment. The car looks like hubby’s new car in silhouette, so thought it quite appropriate to use it on his “Father’s Day” card. The cogs were a perfect match to embellish with. […]
Mr & Mrs, Bridesmaid, Bridegroom DSP
I’ve been meaning to make a set of 3″x 6″ cards with these foil backed papers eversince they came into our catalogue but haven’t had the opportunity to “play” with it till now. On Sunday, Parkside MenCap are having a Fun Day, and I rented a 4m x 4m pitch so these are some of […]
