I needed to make a card to wish my daughter Good Luck for her exam on Thursday and Sincere Salutations was the only set I could find that had “Good Luck” in it. I paired this up with one of the stamps from Frames with a Flourish, cut round it, raised it on dimensionals, double […]

Scene in a Garden & Greetings Eight for Father’s Day
Sadly, I have no Daddy to make this for, nor does DH, but there are gazillions of Dad’s still out there who still need cards made for them, so I came up with this design. The left hand edge was embossed in gold with the Scandinavian wheel pattern and a length of Whisper White grosgrain […]
Petal Party
I had some left over paper from the Petal Party Simply Scrappin’ kit and decided to do a tri- shutter card with it. I made the fatal mistake of looking in my reading list and Carrie who is a member of my Technique Club and super talented had just made one. So this got […]
Graduation
I was “crafting” at a friend’s house today and got an opportunity to play with her stuff some of which isn’t available to SU Eu as yet. I do hope they’ll make it into our new catty soon. I love it! I ran a Versamark inkpad over the dry embossed image and then picked up […]
Hidden Garden Blossoms

I can’t tell you how good that felt! We found this all black china soap dispenser and scourer holder which matched our new kitchen […]
Inspiring Inkin Challenge #2

Technique Club – Painting with Bleach
This is one of the techniques the ladies were shown on Thursday. I love the watermark effect versamark gives. I like its subtlety. “Bloom” and its definition were stamped in versamark. Instead of tying the customary knot, I thought punching six holes and weaving the Elegant Eggplant ribbon would make a nice change. The […]
Haiku Designer Series Paper
I couldn’t resist using my newly acquired Hero Arts wood grain stamp, and found it perfect as a background mat for the sentiment “Get well soon” from Sincere Salutations from Stampin’ Up! The circle shape echoed the circular patterns on the Haiku DSP, so I had a play and came up with this. I used […]
