Time for Tea Bundle

I am addicted to these adorable copper tins!  I designed a different version for our team training last month and have made another version using the Tea Room Specialty DSP which is terrific value – 24 sheets 12″ x 12″ with 4 each of 6 double sided designs.  These are lightweight so you can make […]

Pick A Pennant meets Birthday Backgrounds

I posted a portrait version using this stamp set combo on Sunday, and am following up with a video tutorial on how the Playful Pennant Framelit dies works with the stamp set.  It is self-explanatory – roll VT and enjoy!

Notes of Kindness – All inclusive Kit

We all need “thank you” cards and I love the fact that Stampin’ Up! has looked to the needs of busy people with busy lives who would like to say “thank you” with a personal touch. The “Notes of Kindness” All Inclusive kit does just that – the cards are quick and easy and which, […]

Colour Your Season – August Promotion

Is it too early for Christmas? If you are an avid crafter, no it isn’t!  Planning ahead is the key, so you don’t panic and as a last resort send shop bought ones!    In today’s climate we lead such busy, frenetic lives, that something a little personal never goes amiss. Cards need not be […]

Serene Garden – Window card

Have you tried the new Big Shot Embossing mats?  I’m not sure if I covered it in a previous post, but I’ve been using this technique in my classes and training sessions. If I have, my apologies for repeating myself.  This time I’ve applied it to a window card which I taught in my July […]

Little Twinkle – Eclipse card

Our Annual Catalogue is always a great resource for inspiration, and I simply CASEd (Copy and Share Everything) from within its pages for this card.  It comes from the Twinkle Twinkle suite on a double page spread on pages 82-83 of the 2018-19 Annual Catalogue. I think their sample was a lot smaller, but I […]

Petal Promenade – Lantern Card

My upline, Amanda, sent me some materials to make up samples for a Display at her team training on  Saturday 14th July,  and I haven’t been able to share till after the meeting was done and dusted. If you are a girlie girl and love flowers, then this pack of DSP is tailor made for […]
