We are just short of a week away from Thanksgiving – it came as a bit of a shock I can tell you ~ where did November go? (they have also started playing non-stop Christmas music on the radio…. but that is another story)
Today’s card features the Earthen Textures Stamp set and it is a very quick card to make and features a very simple but effective technique – masking
Continue readingSympathy Cards are really not ones we want to send, especially as we draw nearer to the holiday season. Sadly I have had to send a couple out in the last few days. I think that simple, clean lines are the way to go and today I have paired Pebbled Path with Soft Seafoam and Very Vanilla.
Continue readingSo here we are – on the cusp on November and looking forward to Thanksgiving in a few weeks time. Last week I shared a card using the Cheers to the Season Stamp Set – that had a Christmas theme – today I am using the same stamp set and showcasing one of the other stamps in the set for a Thanksgiving theme.
Continue readingI 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)

The last day of 2022 is here! and our 2022 Holiday Mini Catalog will retire on Jan 4th and with it the holiday themed products. I have really loved the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set and have used it on several card I have shared with you. I have just one more to share which showcases the Vellum Layering Designs Paper. The stamp set is available until Jan 4th – there is a link below so you can place your order!
Continue readingThe leaves have finally dropped from the trees in our garden, I have to say this year they fell a lot later than usual and we had some magnificent colors because of this. Like the leaves, some of our products are about to go away, one of them is the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set – so I thought I would give it one more outing, with a simple but very impressive coloring technique. (Gosh – I sound a little poetic today!)
Continue readingToday the temperature has really dropped here in North Texas, reminds me a little of the type of weather we would be having in the UK (my home country). The leaves on the Lace Bark Elm in my front garden are starting to turn color and drop so with both of those signs of Autumn it is time of an autumnal themed card!
Continue readingWell, I know we are in the early part of autumn and I love autumnal colors, but I don’t want to get tooooo lost in them, so today’s card is a combination I have a real love for at the moment ~ Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party. Both of these colors have very tropical sounding names so I have paired them with the Artfully Layered Stamp set as that leaf certainly reminds me of palm trees!
Continue readingLast night we had the first rain in about 7 – 8 weeks, as a result it is a tad chilly this morning which made me realize we are moving into autumn quickly , so time for a card with an ‘autumny’ feel.
I broke out the Forever Fern Stamp set as the leaf images are sooooo realistic and there are 3 great greetings.
Continue readingEach time a new Stampin’ UP! catalog is issued I go thru it to see all the new goodies, each time I think I have seen everything that is available and then I start to discover things I missed! One of those is the focus of today’s card – tucked away on page 165 is a metal plate which really does not seem much – until you run it thru your Cut and Emboss Machine with a piece of card – and there it is ……. a beautiful, delicate pattern of little stitched leaves,
To bring the botanical theme thru I have embellished the card with a few flowers and greeting from the Flowers of Friendship Stamp Set and coordinating Flowers and Leaves Punch ( choose the bundle and save 10% – see the link below 🙂 )
