Right Triangle Fox Card

Right Triangle Fox Card

Oooh – what a conundrum this title makes, but it describes what it is exactly. Perhaps I should decipher it so that it’s a little clearer. I made this card with a tiny equilateral stitched triangle die. The inspiration to create a fox image came from a quilt pattern, hence the “Fox card” part. These […]

Fancy Tag Topper card

Fancy Phrases & Fancy Tag Punch

Let me introduce you to the Fancy Phrases stamp set and Fancy Tag Topper Punch. The combination of script and uppercase fonts are fabulous as is the large floral stamp.

Gather Together embossing paste card

Gather Together – Returning Fave

The “Gather Together” stamp set and dies first made its appearance in last year’s Autumn catalogue. Long story short, I gave myself a heart attack and thought I’d gotten rid of it!

Coming Home and Forever Fern

Stampin Cut & emboss machine

Sneak Peek: Die-cutting Tool!

I don’t normally post on my blog on a Tuesday, but I thought I’d share this video I made for my Stamp With Elaine Facebook page on my blog too. Imagine my frustration when I couldn’t assemble the handle and play with my new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine because of a defective screw! The […]

Arrange a Wreath round tin

Oooh! I’ve been itching to play with the Arrange a Wreath bundle from the Annual catalogue on page 127. I’m sensitive to those who do not like to be bombarded with all things Christmas so early in the year so I put my thinking cap on. How could I combine something from the Annual with […]
