Whiskey Business Father's Day

Happy Father’s Day

Both my Dad and hubby’s Dad left our mortal coil many moons ago. My heart goes out to those who suffered more recent bereavements, especially to my son-in-law whose loss is still too painful to contemplate. It happened in April, and being the first Father’s Day without him, all the family are feeling it keenly. […]

Plaid Father's Day card

Best Year Bundle – Father’s Day Card

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 […]

Embossed Father's Day Card

A Good Man with something new

Eek! I suddenly realised that Father’s Day in the UK is on 21st June! I had to reshuffle all my posts and create 2 new videos for masculine cards this week! Do you remember “A Good Man” stamp set from last year? It hasn’t dated and I dug it out with a refresh! I partially […]

Game On Father's Day

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.

Tasteful Textures & Tasteful Label dies

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 […]

Forever Fern Gold Foil Laser Cuts

Forever Fern with Forever Gold Laser-Cuts

I am so glad I invested in this bundle. There is an abundance of foliage to choose from whether as a stamp, or as a die cut, there are endless possibilities for creating cards, or adorning a Memory & More album, decorating a box and better still, it isn’t gender specific! Today I am combining […]

Clean and simple card stampin up

Flash back retirement card : Witty-cisms

I have kept this under wraps and couldn’t post it earlier until the recipient had received it and now it’s retired, but I still wanted to share as I think it’s so cute! I dug out my embossing paste and stencils to make this background in petal pink – love the texture! Just for a […]

Blossoms in Bloom In Colors

Blossoms in Bloom and new In Colors

Have you had a chance to familiarise yourself with the new In Color names? It never ceases to amaze me how they think these up! During the pre-order period, the new In Color inks were not available so I did a work around. The “shading” effect was cut from Very Vanilla card stock. To work […]
