Blast from the Past!

I have a stash of over-runs from making swaps and if it’s a particular design or technique, I loathe having to ditch them.  I originally made these with a Pretty in Pink flower and a “birthday” banner from the Curly Cute stamp set (ACp144) which you can seehere (it’s the one at the bottom of the […]

Merry Minis #3

Back to Merry Minis and their co-ordinating punches.  The card base is in Crumb Cake.  Accent colours are Early Espresso and Real Red.     Sadly the eyelet border punch has now retired, but was current at the time I made this sample for Sandown Show. I wanted to feature the new champagne glimmer paper (page 18 of the […]

Scentsational # 3

I used the new Textured Impressions Embossing Folder – Holiday Frame on Early Espresso core-dinations paper and lightly sanded it to create this vintage type background.  Also strips of DSP from the Festival of Prints pack to “frame” it  and champagne glimmer paper to make it pop. Here’s the inside.  Trying to think outside the box, […]

Mixed Bunch Class

These are the cards we made in my Mixed Bunch Class back in June.  Sorry it’s taken me so long to post.   The flower was embossed in white on card stock vellum and two petals were cut to form this butterfly. The Whisper White card base was attached to a Pretty in Pink scalloped square […]

Reason to Smile #3

For this card, I used a technique that my fellow team mate the lovely Jane shared at our last quarterly meeting.  I white embossed the outlined daisy stamp on cardstock vellum then on the reverse side (laid over a sponge mat), I used the stylus that comes with the Simply Scoring tool to make indentations […]

Bordering on Romance

I guess that most people in the UK will be celebrating the Jubilee in some shape or form over this Jubilee weekend.  Sadly I haven’t had time to make anything with a Jubilee flavour as I’ve had my hands full with visiting relatives and have been unable to spend any time in my craft room […]

Stamps:  Seeing Stars, Classic Stars (jumbo wheel), Curly Cute Ink:  Bashful Blue Paper:  Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Real Red Accessories:  silver brad Share this… […]
