My BIL celebrates his birthday today and is really into his garden so the French Foliage set was just perfect for him. Did you notice I’ve left out something by mistake? Yes, I forgot to put a sentiment on the front. I’ll have to remember to add it before I send it off! I’ve quadruple layered […]

Thanks for Caring
Life happens and inevitably you need to make sympathy cards. I made this for a fellow team mate who had a bereavement recently. This one “Thanks for Caring” is from the Mini catalog on page 25. Even though it is a stamp set specifically designed for these sad occasions, Stampin’ Up! images for this set […]
Clearly for You, Something to Celebrate, Little Additions, Sanded
One of my customers celebrates her Ruby Anniversary today and being the valued customer that she is, I made this to mark her special occasion. Cherry Cobbler was the closest I could use to Ruby Red, so I used this for my card base. I cut a piece of 3 13/16″ x 5 1/4″ Whisper White cardstock […]

Wedding Wheels #2
I’ve been looking at ways to use the Itty Bitty Punches pack and am on a roll with the partial dry embossing, so made another this time using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder straight on to the card base in Baja Breeze. I sponged the raised dots in Baja Breeze to accent the dots, […]
Party This Way, Beware Pirates
I don’t know why I don’t use this set often enough as I fell in love with it straight away when it came out with the new catty. It looks like a pretty ordinary set, but has so many possibilities which I have yet to explore and this set is often overlooked. It co-ordinates beautifully […]
