My hubby’s passion is archery. He took it up as a form of exercise to help him in his rehabilitation after open heart surgery about 4-5 years ago and is 100% now hooked on it, just as I am with Stampin’ Up! As a homage to his sport, I made these. There are some chunky […]

Sunday Share
This time last Sunday was my Open House and here’s a little peek at part of my display. In the foreground is the lovely Heartfelt Banner Kit from Sale-a-bration made up. So as I could use it for different occasions, I stamped “Celebrate” on separate pieces of card stock mounted on to co-ordinating coloured […]
Petal Parade
Surprised to see me back so soon? There is so much to share and I’ve been buzzing lately. Here’s a really quick and simple card. I’m showcasing this Decorative Dots Sale-a-bration TIEF which is one of the giveaways for each £45 spend. The new Texture Boutique Embossing machine is an affordable tool to have in […]
Happy Congratulations
It’s Friday, are you going off in your caravan for the weekend? This features one of the new stamp sets from the Spring./Summer catalogue and just shows you a different way of using it other than for a card. I cannot take credit for the caravan design – I purchased the talented Erica Cerwin’s tutorial […]

Of course, Stampin’ Up! doesn’t have a sentiment to cover Chinese New Year, so I printed one off the […]
Rock N’ Roll with Best of Flowers & Happy Day
Here are the other cards we did at Card Club using the Rock N’ Roll technique. The colour combo here was Blushing Bride and Calypso Coral. The leaves were cut using the 1-3/4″ circle punch. I’m show casing the Best of Flowers set as they will no longer be available by the end of March […]
Rock n’ Roll
This is an old favourite – the Rock n’ Roll technique, but new to my card club ladies. You need two ink pads, one light and the other darker. Stamp in the light colour first, then ink only the edges of the lighter stamped image by tipping and rolling just the edges of the image […]
Sweet Sayings
Continuing the theme with the Sweet Sayings card kit. Can you spy a sneak peek here? I’ve stamped and individually cut out the elements from stamps in the Love you more set, punched out the heart from Flowerful Heart which makes it smaller than its original size and punched a hole through the heart with […]
