Cool Kid

It took almost half a binful of trashed copy paper to make this, I had no reference and the only reference for this type of step card was for a large one using a whole piece of A4 cardstock, and a picture that the lovely Hayley Gillie had shared on our team forum.    I […]

Language of Love

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

Chinese New Year!

Did you know that today is Chinese New Year?  I am 3rd Generation Australian Chinese, and although I’m married to an Englishman, those Chinese roots from my ethnic origin are still with me albeit very westernised! 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 […]
