With pretty sentiments like those in the Go To Greetings Stamp Set designing a card project can be challenging. If I want the sentiment to stand out I tend to go for much simpler backgrounds and layouts. That might involve a subtle paper pattern. Or I’ve used a plain card background layer with an embossed texture for added interest. Today though I decided to pull out my new Decorative Borders Stamp Set. With a tried and tested navy and white colour scheme this elegant birthday card came together ... VIEW POST
Adorable Owls
Every time I think the Stampin’ Up! artists can’t get any better they prove me wrong. Today’s project features two new products that I absolutely love. The first is the Rain Or Shine 12” x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). I’ve used various patterns from this pack but it was time to finally cut up that large meadow scene. With that amazing background already done for me all I needed was a focal point. That came courtesy of the Adorable Owls Stamp Set that’s available for FREE during ... VIEW POST

By My Side Thank You
OK I admit it I may be slightly addicted to colouring my stamped images. I’m not an expert by any means but I do find it relaxing. Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers also make it ridiculously easy to get a nice even colour without those horrid lines other markers often leave. One of my favourite styles of focal point is a ‘scene’ and I’ve created a few using the characters from the By My Side Stamp Set. It’s such fun being able to put words into their mouths so to speak. BY MY SIDE ... VIEW POST
Florets Of Fancy
After yesterday’s very dramatic black gift tag I thought I should bring you a complete contrast for today’s project. So from my collection of cards created during my personal “24 cards in 24 hours” challenge I chose this birthday card. The design is really easy to do and uses no special techniques or tools. The fun part here was creating my own background design using the Framed Florets Stamp Set and three Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. The colours are a favourite combination of Old Olive, ...
