We have a couple more weeks before the January – June 2021 Mini Catalog sales period ends, so I am sharing a few of the products that will be retiring – but are still available for you to add to your shopping basket 🙂
My cards – yes there is more than one today – feature the Sand and Sea Suite, picking out the colors from the Designer Series Paper for my layers and ink, then finishing with the Opal Rounds and Seaside Shells stickers.
Continue readingSometimes we need a sympathy card, I know I have had to send out a some in the last couple of months, but it gives me a sense that at least I have done ‘something’ to acknowledge the loss a family is feeling.
It is difficult to judge what colors to use, black, or dark colors versus something a little brighter, I pondered on this and decided to go with Very Vanilla and Just Jade and use the peaceful trail of leaves from the Very Versailles Stamp Set.

There will be techniques, fancy folds, 3D, new products and ideas – a veritable treasure chest for you to draw on every month.
Continue readingIf you follow my blog regularly you will know that I love flowers, they are always the first things I think of when making a card or designing a scrapbook layout. So it will not surprise you that as I write this I am waiting on the delivery of the Pansy Petals Suite from the new 2021 -2022 Stampin’ UP! Catalog – this is simply full of flowers and I am counting the days until it arrives!
I have this great video from Stampin’ UP! to share today which gives you a taste of what this great suite includes – I am sure you will love it too and add it to your next order 🙂
Continue readingI do love a fun fold and the quicker and easier the better! Today I have used a very simple Z fold and paired Pool Party with Rich Razzleberry, which I think is a great combination.
Today is the last day for the 2020 – 2021 Stampin UP! catalog – although all the products (with the exception of the Classic Label Punch ) I am using today are carrying over you might just have something on your wish list that will be here today but gone tomorrow!
Continue readingThis card was inspired by my Stampin’ UP! mum, Jackie Ross. It uses the Love of Leaves Stamp Set and coordinating Stitched Leaves Dies. It is a great way to use your Designer Series Paper – I just love it and have a tendency to hoard it if I am not careful! You can get 4 pieces from a piece of 6 x 6 paper or 16 from a 12 x 12 piece – so imagine having one design and being able to create a bunch of cards for your stash!

You will have either arrived from Karen’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month our theme is a Sketch Challenge, we can change elements such as using something else instead of the flower or flip the sketch on its head but the general look of the finished project must resemble the sketch.
Continue readingEvery year Stampin’ UP! has a new annual catalog with lots of new products and colors. So when we have some new stuff we say goodbye to some favorites. I have loved the Path of Petals Stamp Set, it has dainty flower images and a range of great greeting suitable for weddings, inspirational, thank you thru to sympathy.
This is a very quick card to make simple using card, stamps and ink. I chose Petal Pink and Early Expresso for my colors, mainly because I wanted to use that ‘oh so pretty’ Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon. It is not too late for you to add this stamp set to your order – it will be available until May 3rd!
Continue readingTodays card combine 2 of the greens in the Stampin’ UP! family along with Blushing Bride as a contrast – it is kinda out of my comfort zone, but I really do like the final effect. I used the Free as a Bird Stamp Set along with the ‘soon to retire’ Stitched Nested Labels Dies. (see the link below to order yours before it is too late)
Continue reading‘Just Saying Hello’ – here is a card you can use for most any occasion – how wonderful to receive this and know that someone is thinking of you, particularly if you have not seen them in a while.
I broke out the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set along with the coordinating Tasteful Labels Dies for today’s card, choosing calm Pool Party and Basic Grey for my colors.
