Today it’s time for another ‘Guy’ card – I think I have shared on a number of occasions how difficult I find it to make for the fella’s in my life but the Truly Tailored Stamp set makes it a lot easier – along with the Tailored Tag Punch. ~ available as a bundle until May 31st 2018 which would give you a 10% discount.

I think this card would be perfect for a birthday or indeed Father’s Day on June 17th, 2018.

Ice Storm in North Texas = Stamping Christmas Cards!!!

December 8, 2013Leave a comment

On Wednesday, December 4th we were basking in 80 degree temperatures, this morning (Friday 6th) we wake up to an ice storm which left about 3 inches of ice and sleet on all the roadways.

This is the state of our mail box…… it is frozen solid, sure hope the mail man has nothing important to deliver today!

As we cannot we cannot go anywhere, and to be perfectly truthful, don’t need to go anywhere, today I decided to get stuck into making my Christmas cards. So I have about 60 in 4 different designs, some to go to friends and family, some for my wonderful and very supportive customers and then the cute little snowmen are for the grand-babies. Here are the fruits of my labours………

Now to sit down to write and address them ready to post when the ice melts and it is safe to go out again.

September’s Stamp Camp Trio

September 28, 2013Leave a comment

September’s Stamp Camp had three new designs. The first in traditional colours with a contemporary design (thank you Connie Stewart for the inspiration!) The second card featured a glitter encrusted tree in delicious Midnight Muse and Soft Sky card and finally the mellow greens of Always Artichoke and Pear Pizzazz with a silver embossed ornament just popping off the card.

October’s Camp brings three more designs, two are complete – the third is still on the drawing board. October’s camp is on the 18th and 19th ~ you choose the date that works for you – call me for more details and to reserve your place.

Not able to come to my classes? ~ contact me about a kit. Not into card-crafting but love my designs? ~ contact me about buying some completed cards 🙂

August Christmas/Holiday Card Stamp Camp

September 27, 20132 Comments

These were the cards we made in the August Camp. Each person made 3 of each card, including decorating the envelopes. The left hand card features both heat and dry embossing in classic vanilla and gold. The centre card has the traditional Christmas colours of Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green and silver. I just loved the contemporary colors of Crisp Cantalope and Cake Crumb cardstock in the right hand card.
