Adieu Sale-a-bration!

It’s time to put Sale-a-bration to bed this year!  My how the time has flown.  On reflection, my favourite was definitely Fresh Vintage which took pride of place in the Sale-a-bration flyer (the very first stamp set in the flyer) – Stampin’ Up! were right to put it there as it flew off the shelf […]

Sale-a-bration ends on Saturday 31st March!

EEEK!  Sale-a-bration is drawing to a close on 31 March – 3 more days left to put those orders in, or join my team – I’ve been harping on about it, I know.  Here’s another sample I made using the lovely Everyday Enchantment papers and that fantastic Postage Stamp punch – no one can tell […]

Big Shot Card!

This is just a quickie post.  There’s very little stamping in this card, instead there’s punching, embossing, die cutting and layering.   Another one of my samples I made for my workshops in March.   Here’s the recipe: Stamps:  Tiny Tags, Fresh Vintage (free Sale-a-bration stamp set with £45 net purchase) Ink: Calypso Coral, Island Indigo, Pool […]

Mothering Sunday

My aged Mum  is in her 80s (she probably won’t thank for mentioning her illustrious age!) and has gone globetrotting again!   (She’d recently toured Russia then Ireland and came to visit with me here in the UK at the end of last year before returning to Australia via Singapore  and was away from home for almost 3 months!)  It amazes me […]

St Patrick’s Day

It is unusual for me to post anything on St Patrick’s, let alone remember St Patrick’s Day or which day it happens to fall on.  I came upon it merely by accident.  This year”s Sprinkled Expressions stamp set give-away for Sale-a-bration happened to have a heart with sprinkled flowers in it.   It lends itself to being stamped four […]

Chocolate box Love

I’ve used the Sale-a-bration Outlined Expressions set for this card.  The punched out heart centre with the Cherry Cobbler ruching round the edge reminds me of a box of chocolates!  This would make a great anniversary card. There’s very little stamping on this card – mostly punching to decorate the inside.  Here’s the recipe: Stamps:  […]

A Mood Swing Card!

Here’s history repeating itself – I’m updating the swing card I made here back in 2009 for Father’s Day.  This is a much more feminine version with one of my favourite In Colors – Pool Party. The Fresh Vintage Stamp Set being given away FREE from Stampin’ Up! with each £45 spend excluding shipping.  I call it […]

Outlined Occasions, Woodgrain, Tiny Tags

Well, hello everyone!  Where has the week gone?  I have a ticket for the Make-It show in Farnborough which I hope to attend on Sunday so I’m updating the blog tonight as it seems ages since I last posted! This was one of the 3 projects I demonstrated at the workshop I did last Friday.    In true Blue […]
