Fable Friends family portrait!

It will be sad to say “good-bye” to this stamp set if it doesn’t make it into our next catalogue, so I thought that I’d make a “family portrait” of Fable Friends while it’s still current! I used the masking technique which is as old as the hills, but it’s a fabulous one.  It’s like […]

You’re Inspiring – Huge bunny!

I love Easter chocolate – I’m not sure if it’s my imagination, or just having weird taste buds but Easter Egg chocolate does taste a little different from the norm. “Lindt” have always produced yummy milk chocolate bunnies in all sorts of sizes.  In the past, I’ve bought the little tiddlers, but decided to get […]

Stop press – Discontinuing Items!

Stampin’ Up! announced they are discontinuing our current trimmer and Big Shot and all the accompanying accessories i.e., blades, platforms etc., and it will not appear in the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue. Stampin’ Up! have experienced challenges with their supplier and are taking the opportunity to research and explore a replacement option for an alternative […]

A Good Day – Sweet Treat Mini set

Not one, but two little projects today – so STINKIN’ cute!!!!  A little 3D project and a narrow notecard to match. Time to give this little bunny some love – Sale-a-bration kinda dominated the first quarter of the year and this poor little mite has been neglected. Loving those scallop punches which fit these images […]

Daffodils Easter card spotlight technique with stitched dies

Fable Friends for Easter

Did you grow up with the Tales of Beatrix Potter?    I was a voracious reader as a child, even to this day when I pick up a book (or rather my Kindle!) I have a tendency to read it from cover to cover almost at one sitting!  Everything else grinds to a halt as […]

Fable Friends – Self Closing Easter Treat box

I  had originally scheduled this post to publish last Friday, but when I looked at the calendar, I suddenly realized that Mother’s Day in the UK is on Sunday 31st March!    Suffice to say when you have to re-schedule, a lot of  things  happen behind the scenes to re-edit, change titles, re-render the footage […]

Storage by Stampin’ Up!

Drum roll please!  The new Storage by Stampin’ Up! launches today.  I have it on good authority that they are in the warehouse ready to go!   I am so thrilled I waited for a storage solution for my colouring tools – that includes the new style ink pads, the stampin’ blends, etc and just a […]
