Teeny One Sheet Wonder

Teeny One Sheet Wonder – Flowers for Every Season

I did it !!! Four unique cards made from one sheet of 6 x 6 DSP ! Yesterday I published a cutting guide on a one sheet wonder over on my Facebook page. It was certainly a challenge because I didn’t like the reverse side of the paper! I solved the problem by introducing mat […]

Centre fold easel card – Come Sail Away Suite

Of all the nautical themed stamp sets Stampin’ Up! has produced, this has got to be one of my favourites!  Although I don’t have much blue in my wardrobe, it’s still one of my favourite colours.  Pair Night of Navy with Sahara Sand makes me happy! I love the cut and emboss dies that coordinate […]

Lilypad Lake Bundle – pocket card

I thought for a change that I would do a pocket card so I could make use of the circle tab punch.  Some items just don’t see the light of day and I’ve been meaning to take a look at the Lilypad Lake Bundle.  Instead of doing the obvious which was with the heron and […]

Bouquet Blooms Gatefold

Isn’t it cool that you can now make a gatefold card without worrying about measurements?  Even better is the unique leaf and floral edges to make it even more special! Enter – the Gatefold Blossoms Framelits dies!  These cards when closed measure 3-1/2″ x 5″ which is a note card envelop size.  You can use […]

Sunshine and Rainbows

Cool Treats Bundle – Joy Fold Card

This Friday’s Fun project is a rather large square “Joy Fold” card.  I’ve made rectangular ones before but thought it would be cool to try my hand at a square one.  It struck me that Watermelon Wonder will be retiring at the end of May as this is one of the 2015-17 In Colors.  Consequently […]

Around the World Seeing Double!!!

Sundays seem to come round so fast!  This time next week I’ll be spending some quality time with my daughter and her family.  On the Saturday though, we have a Regional Training day in Telford and I can barely contain my excitement!  I’m hoping there’ll be some sneak peeks! I digress – I guess you’d […]

Salted Background Technique

I recently taught the Salted Background  technique to my club ladies.  I used Shimmery White card stock and spritzed it with water until it was quite damp.  I added colour with an aqua painter in random directions using my ink pads as palettes to pick up colour.  After that I sprinkled with a coarse salt […]
