I challenged myself to make a “Thanksgiving” card using the First Frost stamp set. Do you think I’ve succeeded? This was inspired by something I’d seen made by my upline Amanda Fowler using the sprig punch and I thought I could adapt it with the Frosted Bouquet Framelits die. If you’d like to see how […]

Happiness Surrounds & Christmas Traditions Punch Box
I’m making the most of the newly released “Happiness Surrounds” set whilst I can because it’s only available until 30 November!

Gorgeous Card in a Box – Magical Day
This type of “Card in a Box” was all the rage in 2014. It folds flat to fit in an envelop which can be mailed easily. It looks complicated, but it really isn’t! The lovely Monica Gale, a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in the UK, shared it on her blog so I thought I would create […]
