Well, Stampin’ Up! you couldn’t get more blokier than this! Not excluding lady bikers of course, but no man would mind receiving a card like this! A minimilist look, stamped in black Stazon ink on watercolour paper, coloured with Real Red, Basic Gray and outlined in Bashful Blue, then colour washed with an aqua painter […]

Baby Blossoms
This is the Baby Blossoms set which uses the two-step stamping method. It means you have to stamp the image twice with two different stamps to complete the picture. The first stamp is in a lighter colour for the petals, and the second corresponding image stamp adds depth and is stamped in a darker colour. […]
Manhattan Flower Embossing folder
This is the embossing folder I should have used. I took the bold step of inking the folder on the “flat” side, placed my card stock face down and ran it through the Big Shot to create this effect. The Cherry Cobbler ink transferred to the card stock it came into contact with, but not […]
Oops – a faux pas!
I must have grabbed the wrong embossing folder – when I had another look at the mini, this one wasn’t in it! Ooops – I meant to use the Manhattan Rose, but as I’ve already made it, I might as well share! Silly me. No wonder some of the ladies looked puzzled! It all becomes […]

Top Note Bigz Die

Fun Flowers Bigz L Die
Other than using the flowers to decorate a card or a page, I’ve used it for making some book marks. Using a half sheet of A4 produced all these layers of flowers which have been adhered to each floral layer with dimensionals, attaching the ribbon to the largest flower last to create the bookmark. The […]
