I often think that you can’t go wrong with plaid backgrounds for a masculine theme. Imagine my delight when Stampin’ Up! brought out dies so you could build your own! So for my second Father’s Day card I created this and added the Beautiful World stamps. I will be doing a separate 101 on the […]

GAME ON – PATTERN PLAY
Happy Sunday! Game on – non essential outlets due to re-open in England! Yay! Sadly, I’ve got to stay at home until the end of June and carry on shielding. I’m happy for those who can. Please, please remember to social distance and that we still need to exercise caution! Father’s Day is next Sunday […]
Tasteful Touches and Dies
This stamp set and coordinating dies are from the “In Good Taste” Suite on page 122-124 of the new Annual Catalogue. It’s amazing that even though the stamp set only has one floral image, all the accessories in this suite compliments and enhances it in so many ways. The two page spread shows so many […]

Three more sleeps to new Catalogue Launch Day!
The new Annual Catalogue was mailed earlier in the week so hopefully by posting this card, they would’ve already received the big book and I haven’t ruined the surprise! So here’s another sneak peek – The Greenery embossing folder – half size designed to work with Stampin’ Up!’s new mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Mini […]
Outdoor Barbecue – retiring soon
Do you sense a feeling of panic? My last chance to share another card using this stamp set. I wish it was staying – I love, love, love barbecues! Even in lock down, I don’t know where time goes! I find plenty to occupy my time, and yet time is running out and I haven’t […]
