Frames with a Flourish, Sincere Salutations

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

Over Bank Holiday Weekend we managed to actually go out for some leisure time.  Something we’ve not had or even contemplated (except to go out and eat) during the house renovations.  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

This is the picture from which we had to draw inspiration for our challenge. I am thrilled to be part of the Inspiring Inkin’ Design Team and this is my card for Challenge #2 today. “Try something new that you have not yet used” – I’ve never made a 6″ x 6″ card before, so […]

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 […]
