So we did a card for the guys on Saturday – today we turn to a pretty floral one for the lassies in our lives! This is a great card to make as all the hard work is done with the pretty ‘Flower for all Seasons Designer Series Paper.
While I have used a birthday greeting, change it out to create a thank you, thinking of you or best wishes card – it will work for any of these!

I have paired the ‘Tis the Season Designer Series Paper with the Joyful Holly Stamp Set to create a quick and simple Christmas card………… plus there is a video to show how quickly you can produce a whole bunch to send to your friends and family – imagine how amazed they will be to receive a card made by your own fair hands!
Continue readingThanksgiving is just around the corner and my card today would be perfect to send to friends and family members to celebrate this year. We might not be able to get together in person as we have in the past so a beautiful card will show them they are in our thoughts.
I have used the Celebration Tidings Stamp Set along with my very favorite Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pen, to color the pumpkins, leaves and berries.
Continue readingWell the leaves are falling from the trees thick and fast now, yesterday morning my husband spent half an hour raking the leaves in the back garden – 2 hours later it looked as though he had never even started as there was a thick carpet of them again!
Today’s card, made using the Beautiful Autumn Stamp Set with the coordinating Autumn Punch Pack (available as a bundle for 10% discount!!) It kind of reminds me of the autumn leaves falling.
Continue readingToday’s card uses up some scraps of the World of Good Designer Series Paper (DSP) – I had been using this paper pack for another project and could not bear to waste scraps of this beautiful foiled paper.
I love to make these ‘panel’ cards – I simply take the DSP scraps and cut the background layers about an 1/8 larger (or sometimes a 1/4 larger if I want a wider boarder) I hear groans when I suggest cutting 1/8’s but with the Stampin’ UP! Paper Trimmer it is so easy to do because the marks are so clear for cutting.
Continue readingCelebrate with curvy stamps, dies, and more! Designed for a variety of special occasions, the Quite Curvy Variety Bundle includes everything you need to create one-of-a-kind crafts.
This brand new Quite Curvy stamp set and coordinating Curvy Dies were launched yesterday. It allows us to make such pretty and delicate cards. I played around with them so that I could share my technique with you, they are very easy to use though it helps to have a little guidance 🙂
Continue readingToday’s card is another in my Sweet and Simple series where I have set myself a little challenge using a small amount of equipment and supplies – kind of like one of those cookery shows where you are given 3 or 4 ingredients and you have to turn it into a spectacular 4 course meal!
I think it meets my aim of using one stamp set, a couple of ink pads, an embellishment and a tool.
Continue readingHappy Halloween Everyone! We love to see the ‘teeny tinies’ and ‘littles’ from the neighbourhood coming around in their costumes to collect candy.
Today’s card is my final Halloween theme for this year and has some quick and easy techniques to create a ‘Spooktacular’ card. Featuring the Ghoulish Goodies Stamp Set with the Essential Tag Punch building up a spooky mosaic of halloween images.
Continue readingToday’s card was inspired by the Playing with Patterns Combo Ribbon Pack! ~ the combination of the Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy Ribbons was just perfect. This is the card I created for my niece’s 18th birthday earlier this month. I am not too much up on the likes and dislikes of young people reaching their majority but I know she is really not into lots of frills.
There is only a tiny bit of stamping for my greeting which comes from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set.
