As a Demonstrator, I’ve accumulated quite a collection of stamp sets, so I’ve used quite a few here. There’s alot of cutting round stamped images for this one, so it really is a labour of love. To start with I stamped the letters spelling “birthday” from the School Book Serif set and cut them all […]

I’ve taken the opportunity this weekend of the quiet (no builders) to try and devise something for a forthcoming workshop.  This one has been relegated to the shelf because there was a lot of cutting out to be done and it was too pretty to discard it without first having made a record of the […]

So this one is for you Phil. I don’t have precise measurements for the Really Rust mat piece, just did it by eye and scalloped round all four edges leaving a gap to retain the aperture look. Using the two step method, I stamped the solid image in Old Olive, and the outline in Garden […]

This is the final one for this session. I used vellum for the insert, tore the edges to distress it, stamped the large script stamp from Fresh Cuts set and embossed it in black. I inserted the vellum inside the Fresh Cuts note to gauge where I should tear the Fresh Cuts front of card […]

I stamped “thank you” randomly in versamark on Taken with Teal, sprinkled it with clear embossing powder, used heat tool to emboss, this makes the image “pop” out and in my […]

With all that going on, how did I find time to craft?  Well, I just needed to chill, didn’t I, after all that stress and I did promise to come up with more different ones.   I traced round opening of the flower on to a post-it note, cut round it and used as a […]

This is a really quick card. Take a Whisper White Fresh Cut Note and cut a piece of contrasting coloured cardstock slightly smaller than the Fresh Cut Note, score and fold in half and this will sit inside it. Versamark the Fresh Cut script stamp and stamp image on the coloured cardstock (I used Barely […]

We’ve been working really hard this easter weekend to clear the downstairs plus kitchen in readiness for the builders to start work on Tuesday. As DH has escaped to an all day shoot – field archery – I thought I’d take a breather too and decided to do some crafting. Using the rocking technique, I […]
