I had a lovely break albeit a short one, but downing tools meant I lost my Mojo and I’m finding it hard to get back into the swing of things. Take for example this creation – believe you me I’ve had several attempts, and the whole card has been a catalogue of failures but I’m […]

Eclectic Expressions – Stamparatus Repeat Patterns
I was really intrigued by the repeat patterns in the sample card on the new 2nd Release Sale-A-Bration flyer and gave it a try with the stamp mounted on a clear block. The results weren’t satisfactory so I tried it with the Stamparatus. This is how I used it to stamp repeat patterns and was […]
The Stamparatus – 4 step stamping with Amazing Congratulations
Hello! Those of us who were in the Leader 2 Leader group during the design and development of the Stamparatus were sworn to secrecy – and over the last couple of years I’ve had to feign ignorance while discussions about when Stampin’ Up! would produce one were flying about.

Cheep….Cheep says the easter chicks!
This card design originated from my lovely upline, Amanda, at one of our Team meetings and I in turn, passed it on to my team – but of course as with most CASE-ing (copy and share everything) I’ve put my own stamp on it. I’ve been putting my fringing scissors to good use lately. […]
Thank you card with Floral Fringed element
I hope you like the Thank you card with a Floral Fringed element I made for today’s project. Adding the floral fringing element increased the size of the flower so it became the main focal point and needed very little else by way of decoration. Bermuda Bay is such a rich, vibrant colour – I […]
