Shadow Box – Sam’s Gorjus Girls

Also enclosed with the template, Sam sent some stamped images of her Gorjus girl stamps. Since signing up as a demo for Stampin’ Up! I’ve had little need for adding to my collection of stamps from other manufacturers (call it tunnel vision!). Stampin’ up! really has covered all the bases in its arsenal of stamps […]

Cheers To You

My wonderful and generous Inspiring Inkin team mate, Sam, sent me a template for this quirky folded card. I’m not even going to attempt explaining how you fold it – it’s easier than it looks but it’s more a visual thing than trying to explain it in words. It would’ve been rude not to play […]

Rub Ons – Cherished Memories & Pretties Kit

Some time ago, I used rub-ons on my soap dispenser to make it more visible as both the dispenser and my worktop was black, I couldn’t see it! Well, you can use it to embellish a card too! My card “topper” was Real Red, cut a tad smaller than the base card in Whisper White. […]

Ovals All and Top Note Template

Fellow Team Mate, Vannessa, made a similar card for the Inspiring Inkin Challenge #2 and I liked it so much I wanted to have a bash at it myself. My favourite colour is blue, so I thought I ought to try a different colour combo this time. I’ve used Always Artichoke for the card base, […]

Just Beachy – Gel card

The ladies made this card, stamped some fish, then stamped same fish images on the sticky part of post-it labels which were cut out and adhered to the […]

Picnic Basket, Playful Petals.

Today, I thought I might make something just for the fun of it but more than anything I made it to satisfy my own craving for making something that was for me and not for someone else, or because I had to. It’s amazing what you can do with paper – I’d bought this template […]

Altered Art

This is an altered clear pail which I covered on the inside with Junior Varsity DSP and used as a gift container. I put some chocolates in which I bought from Lydia, a talented member of my Technique Club, who recently held a Father’s Day Theme Card party and she had these for sale as […]

Inspiring Inkin Challenge #4

The challenge was to make a masculine card. Immediate thought was to use sombre colours, but as I rifled through my cardstock, my eyes fell on the Ski Slope DSP which I had left over and it was just perfect for this pocket card. The stripes lent itself to being used as a man’s shirt […]
