It’s surprising that even being in lock down for most of the year, we’ve managed to creep into December. In the UK we have had restrictions lifted over a five day period for Christmas. Practicalities prevented our family from taking advantage of it so sadly, we’ll be on our own this Christmas. I hope you’ll […]

Hints & Tips – Tag Buffet
This has to be the coolest semi-inclusive kit I’ve ever come across. It hadn’t been on my radar at all, until my leader demonstrated it at one of her Team Training events. The kit contains enough supplies to make 30 tags and I love the tag layers, the bright traditional Christmas coloured pop out elements […]
Shaker gift card with Snowflake Wishes
As Christmas approaches ever closer, my thoughts turned to gift cards and gift wallets. Add a personal touch. Enter the Snowflake Wishes bundle. The set of coordinating dies were perfect for this project. It cuts out this beautiful window. I used one of the medium clear envelopes to create a flat shaker pouch filled with […]
Simply stamped with For Unto Us
Happy Sunday! I’m playing catch up with some Christmas stamp sets which have yet to see ink! I love the fonts in the “For Unto Us” stamp set. There are no images, just text, so you can virtually use any stamp set in conjunction with this one. There are three cards to share today which […]
Cups, Carriers with Warm Hugs

I finally got round to creating with the Warm Hugs bundle. Those cute mini coffee carriers and mini coffee cups have been […]
Christmas Cracker – Poinsettia Petals
Way back in 2013, when we had the Envelope Punch Board, I had made a hexagonal mini cracker. Now that it is no longer available, I did wonder how I could duplicate it using current card stock. It would be much easier to make it out of ordinary patterned paper, but to make it from […]
Happy Thanksgiving Day
Just a quickie post today to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving Day. We don’t mark it ourselves, but for those who do, have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. The card base is in Cajun Craze. I used the gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Papers which has gold foiling. To make the layer “pop” I […]
Hinge Stamping Today’s Tiles
I am so thrilled with my Stamparatus, Stampin’ Up!’s own brand of stamp positioning tool. It launched a couple of years ago. Stampin’ Up! also designed stamps which can be used for the “hinge stamping technique” with their Stamparatus. “Today’s Tiles” completely passed me by, until our CEO, Sara Douglas demonstrated it and I was […]
