Centre step card Stampin Up Outdoor Barbecue

Outdoor Barbecue – Centre Step Fold card

With the warmer weather approaching, our thoughts turn to barbecues! The supermarkets are filled with marinaded barbecue meat and fresh salads and it means I get a day off from cooking! I don’t know if it’s true of your household, but it seems to be a “man” thing to get the barbecue going so I […]

bespoke box with Stampin Up Witty-cisms tag

Witty-cisms Cute Thank you Berry Much box

I thought it would make a nice change to create a cute bespoke box using the “Thank you Berry Much” witty-cism from the Witty-cisms stamp set to make a label instead of a card. I also shared some samples for cards I’d made using the imagery from this set. I’m sad it’s on the Last […]

Looking Up Card Kit

During the enforced “Stay at Home” period, I’ve discovered kits I’d bought ages ago which have stayed in the box gathering dust! I hope by the time this publishes that we’re over the worst of the pandemic and that the numbers of people falling victim to COVID-19 will have plateaued and start to fall and […]

Timeless Tropical Bundle – Origami shirt topper

As time marches on and we’re still in lockdown, I hope you’re all OK and adjusting to this new “norm”.  I keep telling myself, it’s temporary and it’s for our own safety, but I know that some of you may be struggling from being socially isolated. I’m amazed at how resourceful people have been to […]

Jumping Jack boxes in a Matchbox!

Remember the rage with loom rubber bands? You could make all kinds of bracelets with them and my grandsons went through a phase when they were really expert at making them. They’ve grown out of it now but I’ve still got a box leftover full of these loom bands and I’ve found an alternative use […]
