Birthday Blossoms

Truth be known, I missed this stamp set completely until I saw some samples popping up on the worldwide web – and no wonder, it was right at the beginning of the 2015-16 catalogue on page 8.   Sometimes,  the things you miss, make the most lovely projects. This card was lovingly made for my […]

Top tip – banner punch

Not yet fully recovered full mobility at time of posting this, so have a series of quick top tips to fill the weekly time slots.  Please bear with me.  You can’t imagine how frustrating it’s been not being mobile or operating at normal speed and worst of all, not being able to get to my […]

A Gift from the Garden

This is a card I made for my brother-in-law who has got green-fingers and the stamp set Gift from the Garden was almost made for him!  I stamped the background with Hardwood – one of my “go to” faves for masculine cards and used triple mat layering – Whisper White, Crushed Curry Cajun Craze for […]

Age Awareness Day – Bonus post!

Happy Birthday Ben!  My eldest grandson turns 15 today – he towers over me now, and I’m definitely the littlest in the family (not in girth but in height)  – amongst the grown-ups that is.  For the moment I can proudly say I’m taller than the younger two but that’s no contest really as they’re […]

New Ink Pads coming!

Big News & Boys will be Boys Combo

I think I’m safe to post this as it’s for my BFF’s grandson who lives in South Africa and he was born just four days earlier than my first grandson!  I remember taking her to hospital and anxiously waiting for her grandson to arrive and now the boys will be 15 this birthday!   The […]

Birthday Blossoms hits a Brick Wall!

No – not really – just using the stamp set with our new 6″x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF for short).  Oh, by the way, I film my videos in batches, but published out of sync rather than in numerical order – so there’s that ahem – neon […]

Over the Rainbow

I can’t believe how fast time is flying!  August already – I hope you’re enjoying the summer.  My team have been busy recruiting and these are the cards I’ve made to welcome the newbies. The stamp set is called Over the Rainbow and I just love the sentiments on it. Hmmm…. I hope I got […]
