Birds and Branches Bundle

Birds & Branches Bundle

Having shielded up until 30 June, I am looking forward to being able to explore further afield! Open fields, hearing bird song and communing with nature beckons and I can’t wait! The thought of “freedom” inspired this card. The stamps are photo- polymer. They are clear so you can see exactly where you’re stamping. To […]

Prized Peony gift packaging

Prized Peony – Gift Packaging

It’s nearly the weekend! Happy Friday! It is so hard to choose a favourite. Every week this changes, depending what project I’m working on! For today’s project, I used the new Mini Paper Pumpkin box and adorned it with the Prized Peony Bundle. The boxes are just the right size for the Note Cards and […]

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

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 […]

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 […]
