Beware Pirates, Tiny Tags

I had the most wonderful workshop last night – a group of lovely ladies I’m getting to know and who all share my passion for Stampin’ Up!  My hostess asked for a boys’ birthday theme, so running through August I will be sharing the samples I made for this workshop (that is when I eventually get round to […]

Even though it is a stamp set specifically designed for these sad occasions, Stampin’ Up! images for this set […]

Seeing Stars #4, Party this Way

This is the last card in this series of Masculine Cards which has more or less taken up the whole of July’s posts!  I had the most fun with this one as it was just a question of masking and stamping  in different colours as I went along.   It looks much better IRL, no layers and […]
