I shared an anniversary card the other day (see link below) with die cuts and shimmer paint and promised I would share how I stumbled across the shimmer technique. Today’s card is an unusual size for me (I explain why in the video) and it is full of different techniques that can be used collectively and on their own to create an impact.

(By the way – this would make a great wedding card as well – just use one of the other greetings in the set!!)
Continue readingI have turned to a 3D project today and created a cute little spring themed plaque. It is a great way to use up lots of scraps and to let your creative juices flow! The one I am sharing today was made from scratch while I filmed the video and features the Paper Floral Dies
Continue readingA few days ago I shared a scrapbook page layout where the theme was our favorite color combination challenge – Check it out here. I recognize not everyone is into scrapbooking so I have taken some of the elements on the page to create this celebration card – very much my style using panels with a little bling from the Flower Trinkets.
Continue readingThis is a very quick fun fold to make, by simply cutting a piece off the front of the card, then flipping it around and attaching it to the front! I used the Butterfly Brilliance Background stamp for this card – as it is quite a large stamp I used the Stamparatus to help me out.
Continue readingDaffodils are one of the first things that start to appear above ground after the long winter months, they are so bright and cheerful. So imagine my delight when the Jan – June mini catalog, and now the new 2022 – 2023 Annual catalog has the Daffodil Daydream and coordinating Daffodil Dies so we can use them in our card crafting throughout the year.
Read on to see the video on how to cut and assemble the daffodils into a slimline, any occasion card.

Welcome to the Ink & Share Scrapbook blog hop, we are group of international Stampin UP! demonstrators sharing our ideas and creativity with you.
You will have either arrived from Alison’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME. This month we have a cosy Christmas picture as our inspiration.
Once again I have chosen to use a 12 x 12 page – mainly because Stampin’ UP! has 12 x 12 card stock in all its colors which gives me a fantastic choice
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 readingWe have gone soft and subtle today, the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper is just packed full of beautiful visual textures that makes great backgrounds for your cards. I have paired this with the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set, Grey Granite ink and ribbon.
To build on the softness I chose to use a watercoloring and masking technique to use the beautiful ‘peony’ looking flower and soft and ‘floaty’ sort of leaves in the stamp set along with a greeting that would be about perfect for any occasion.
Happy July !!!!
Today I am back with sunflowers, this time in more traditional colors and breaking out my Stampin’ Blends to do a little soothing coloring.
There is a little bit of technique going on with this one in that I stamped my outline in Daffodil Delight ink but ‘stamped off’ before stampining onto a piece of Whisper White Thick Card. This gave me a nice, softer outline in which to add my colors.
