My brother-in-law arrived from Melbourne bearing gifts –  my baby sister had sent me all the in colour ribbons and cardstock which are current in the Aussie SU catty!  These colours have been retired from the US catty, but I still love them and prefer them to the new in colours in the US catty. […]

It happens to all of us – and I’ve been stuck for inspiration.  In order to regain my mojo, I had to turn my attention to my private stamp collection (stamp sets not currently in the SU Europe Idea Book and Catalogue and non SU products).   So this card is a combo of SU […]

Shock, horror – no blogging for a week and 4 posts in one day today! In my defence, I couldn’t really post until I was sure everyone had received their cards! This is the last one for today – my Stampin’ Up! Mummy, Amanda, has finally achieved her dream of being self-employed as a full […]

A star for my Star! It’s brilliant news – my downline has just become a Stampin’ Up! Mummy! I’m thrilled for her and wanted to congratulate her for achieving this with this card. She is an extremely talented crafter and very experienced, often having to come up with original designs as she works freelance as […]

I’ve just become a Stampin’ Up! granny thanks to the efforts of my lovely downline, (you know who you are), and I made this card to welcome the latest addition to our little SU family. This is 8″ x 4″ Whisper White card folded in half. I used the Sanded background stamp in Ruby Red, […]

I made this card for a friend who shares my passion for all things Stampin’ Up!, an SU sister who has moved to pastures new. This is a stair step card 10.5″ x 5″ scored at 1.25″, 2.5″, 4.25″, 6″ and 8.25″. I stamped my images in Black Stazon on Confetti White as there was […]

I had to set a challenge for a friend’s Club night last Thursday – a sketch challenge and this is the card I made from the sketch. It’s a really simple z-fold card. I used some retired scraps, stamped flowers from Pocket Silhouettes (one of my favourite sets) first in More Mustard, then in Old […]

My wonderful and generous Inspiring Inkin team mate, Sam, sent me a template for this quirky folded card. I’m not even going to attempt explaining how you fold it – it’s easier than it looks but it’s more a visual thing than trying to explain it in words. It would’ve been rude not to play […]
