Quite a few years ago I experimented with the Shaving Cream Technique which you will see produces a marbling effect on the card. I made a video at the time which has had over 41,000 views over those years. I have added a link to the video below.
Today I have a couple of cards using the technique and showcasing some of the new colors that were introduced in May.
Continue readingOnce again I am thrilled to be taking part in the Ink . Stamp . Share blog hop, we are a group of Stampin’ Up!®️Demonstrators from around the globe here to bring you inspiration through creativity!

Continue readingYou never know where inspiration will come from – todays’ color combo comes from a classic car I saw in a recent July 4th parade. The car had been beautifully restored and as soon as it drove by I said Petal Pink, Basic Black and Very Vanilla!!! I came straight home and created this card 🙂
Continue readingI have been having a bit of a love affair with vintage style projects over the last 6 months or so and I have shared a few. I think what I like most about this style is that I can use such a lot of easy techniques to achieve the effect I am looking for – and if I get some ink in the wrong place….. it doesn’t matter 🙂
Continue readingToday I have gone right back to basics with some Card, Ink and Stamps………….. and a little bling, of course!!! Sometimes I can get so wrapped up in fancy colds or techniques that I can forget the pleasure of just simply using color to create texture, so I cracked out my Blending Brushes, the Layering Leaves Stamps set and a couple of ink pads!
Continue readingI am still on a mission to use the new core and in-colors launched in May. I have used Bubble Bath quite a bit, I have paired it today with Pretty Peacock and Pool Party. The video shows how I worked thru the ideas for creating the card and choosing the colors which I did as one of my Sunday Live presentations on YouTube.
Continue readingNow we are in June my thoughts are turning to cards to celebrate July 4th ~ Independance Day here in the US. I have taken a slightly different approach for today’s card using some slightly muted Red, White and Blue and using the Elegant Border Dies to create the ‘stripes’. I think this would make a great graduation card ~ simply swap out the red and blue for the school colors!

So I have always stuck to making them with 1/2 sheet of 11 x 8 1/2 card with the finished card size of 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. Then I received a card from a friend – it was bigger than 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 but still had the regular first class stamp. So I did a little research and found that I could send a max size of 7 x 5 for the same first class stamp – so today’s card is just that size!!
Continue readingSo I am a little behind with posting these cards as some of the papers retired at the beginning of this month, however the gatefold fancy fold is great fun and you can choose any of the decorative papers in your stash, pick out one or two colors and recreate this card, I just love that Tropical Leaf Stamp Set!………. oh and did I mention there is a video to go along with it?
Continue readingDaffodil Delight and Orchid Oasis makes such a delightful combination, so bright and cheerful with just a little Old Olive thrown in. Today’s card showcases the Sentimental Park Stamp set with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders; using one of the sentiments from the stamp set to make this into a ‘Thinking of You’ Card.
