Centre step card Stampin Up Outdoor Barbecue

Outdoor Barbecue – Centre Step Fold card

With the warmer weather approaching, our thoughts turn to barbecues! The supermarkets are filled with marinaded barbecue meat and fresh salads and it means I get a day off from cooking! I don’t know if it’s true of your household, but it seems to be a “man” thing to get the barbecue going so I […]

Clean and Simple Card Stampin Up Witty-cisms by Elaine Harding

Witty-cisms – Looking Sharp

What do you do with a Saguaro cactus? They’re prickly and not exactly pretty looking plants. They grow in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona where we saw them up close and personal and only then did I appreciate that these tree like cacti can grow up to 40 ft in height, or more and are […]

SHARE SUNSHINE PDF – COVID 19 GIVEBACK

A bit late to the party as Stampin’ Up!’s COVID 19 – Giveback campaign began on 28 April, the day we received news that a member of our family had passed away. My apologies but everything was put on the back burner for a while. Share Sunshine is a digital stamp set which is downloadable […]

I’m amazed at how resourceful people have been to […]

Ornate Style Suite – Double Easel Card

This is the Ornate Style Suite which I made into a Double Easel card to show off the papers, both sets of bundles and embellishments. I love the Easel within an easel concept, but on the smaller easel, I had to add the Flower Faceted Gems to weight it down as kept popping up and […]
