Teeny One Sheet Wonder

Teeny One Sheet Wonder – Flowers for Every Season

I did it !!! Four unique cards made from one sheet of 6 x 6 DSP ! Yesterday I published a cutting guide on a one sheet wonder over on my Facebook page. It was certainly a challenge because I didn’t like the reverse side of the paper! I solved the problem by introducing mat […]

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 […]

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

bespoke box with Stampin Up Witty-cisms tag

Witty-cisms Cute Thank you Berry Much box

I thought it would make a nice change to create a cute bespoke box using the “Thank you Berry Much” witty-cism from the Witty-cisms stamp set to make a label instead of a card. I also shared some samples for cards I’d made using the imagery from this set. I’m sad it’s on the Last […]

double faux box 3D

Faux double box with Parisian Blossoms

I love this faux double box – it gives the illusion of being a box within a box. The papers I used are Parisian Blossoms DSP. I cannot claim ownership of this fabulous creation – that goes to a Demonstrator from Germany – Petra Kaeß so thank you Petra for the inspiration. I used the […]

clean simple card, stampin up by the dock stamps

By the Dock – Polaroid effect card

We’ve been bemoaning the fact that there aren’t enough stamp sets for the boys, but there have been quite a few new ones in recent times. Take this “By the Dock” stamp set for example. I think it’s suitable for everyone, especially if you love tinkering by the water, or live on the coast. The […]
