I am always looking for inspiration and today’s card was inspired by my Stampin ‘ friend, Jeannie Nielsen in one of her recent ‘facebook lives’, the idea of this mini ‘one sheet wonder’ appealed to me straight away and I used it for my customer thank you cards last month, (I have added a link to Jeannie’s page below)
Continue readingThings are looking up ‘eyewise’ so I am hoping to get back to blogging and sharing my projects with you on a more regular basis – I thank you for your patience while I worked thru a really trying time for me 🙂
I like techniques – using stamps and ink in different ways shows the flexibility of what on the surface appears to be simple things, today I have taken Blending Brushes and Stampin Spritzers to create a great background and show the magic of water – check out the video to see what I mean! 🙂

As I have done for the last few years I am going to be sharing one at the start of each month. This was designed for a stamp camp in early December 2022, we had such fun making them and my ladies have made me promise to do another for 2024
I am changing things a little for this year, I recognise not everyone is into making 3D items so have created a card for each month, using elements from the calendar for that month. .

It has now been repaired but it is like opening your eyes underwater – all bleary and exceedingly frustrating – however I can close that eye to type for a while – so I shall share what I can until my sight returns to normal!
My card features one of the new stamp sets that will be in the Holiday 2023 Sept – December Mini catalog which will be released on Sept 6th. As you know being a demonstrator gives me the chance to get my hands on ‘new stuff’ before the official release.
