The stamps are from my personal collection i.e. SU stamps I’ve received as birthday/christmas gifts ever since I fell in love with Stampin’ Up! products and started collecting them. So if you follow my blog, whenever I refer to my personal collection, it means that it’s usually a Stampin’ Up! product that has been sent […]

Inspiring Inkin’ Challenge #34 – Sketch Challenge
Our challenge this fortnight was to make a circle card but to use NO flower stamps at all. This is my interpretation of the circle card. I used the Carousel Notes available in Stampin’ Up!’s Idea Book & Catalogue. They come in a pack of 12. The notes have scalloped edges and there are 4 […]
A Get Well Card
This stamp set has been in my personal collection for ages and I don’t think it’s ever seen the light of day until now. I made this for a dear friend who is convalescing at home after keyhole surgery three weeks ago. I took my time with this one, as she’s a fellow crafter and […]
I {Heart} Hearts, Vintage Vogue
Baja Breeze, Bermuda Bay card stock (from my personal collection) and Soft Suede was the colour combo chosen for my darling daughter and her husband’s anniversary card. I only ever use these two blues for special occasions, but now I know that Baja Breeze is one of the colours in our new colour renovation I […]
One Sheet Wonder

This one is for my neighbour’s eldest daughter. In an earlier post, I featured a card I’d made for my neighbour’s […]
Baking for Grandson’s 10th Birthday

Sweet Pea Paper Stack
This is the last of my samples I made for the Mini Madness Event. It is just a simple accordian album made with one sheet of 12″x 12″ DSP from the Sweet Pea Paper stack. When opened up, it looks like this. I made matching tags to insert into each pocket. You can see the […]
Bella Toile & retiring colours
Bella Toile is one of my favourite background stamps. This is a card I made early in August for a friend who has a penchant for green. Sadly Sage Green is retiring. I’m making the most of it before it disappears on 1 October this year. I’ve teamed it with Handsome Hunter which is also […]
