Butterfly Duet Punch Is Back

March 29, 2019 Leave a Comment

I love butterflies and was so disappointed when the Butterfly Duet Punch went out of stock. I'm happy to report that it's now available again, as is the Butterfly Gala bundle (more about that later). So this morning I couldn't resist pulling out the stamp set and punch to make a colourful birthday card. HAPPY BIRTHDAY This card was actually a happy accident as I found ready-made pieces that seemed to really go together. First up, in the case with my Happy Birthday Thinlit I found ... VIEW POST

Hawaiian Rooster Inspiration

March 27, 2019 2 Comments

When it's minus 10C outside there's not a whole lot going on in the garden. So this morning I found my inspiration in a Facebook post from a friend who's on vacation in Hawaii. Karen posted a picture of free range chickens she saw at a Costco there. Except the chickens were very much alive, and free-ranging around the car park. Included towards the bottom of the photo was a very impressive rooster and that inspired me to create today's project. STAMPARATUS For what I had in mind I ... VIEW POST

Printed Vellum

March 17, 2019 Leave a Comment

In less than 4 weeks I will have a copy of the Stampin' Up! 2019/2020 Annual Catalogue in my hands. What's more I will most likely have already placed my first order for new products too! It's an exciting time to be a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. While I love getting the new catalogue it is a double-edged sword as it means we'll also know what products are being retired for good. Don't worry, I'll be giving you regular reminders of what's going so you can stock up before it's too late. ... VIEW POST

Leafy thank you card created using a leaf image from the Wonderful Romance Stamp Sets, and love and support sentiment from the (free) Lasting Lily Stamp Set, both from Stampin' Up!

Lasting Sentiments

March 12, 2019 2 Comments

There are some stamp sets that I will probably never resell. Some are because I simply love the images, or I have a sentimental attachment to them. Mostly though it's because of the words. I find that while you can generally swap one image for a similar one, the same isn't true of certain sentiments. One of the sets that seems to be falling into that camp is Lasting Lily. Not only is the font gorgeous, but the phrases are timeless too. A BIT OF AN ACCIDENT The leafy background for ... VIEW POST

Bad Puns and #WWYS210

March 11, 2019 4 Comments

Do you ever find yourself dragging out a childhood memory and thinking about those really bad puns and jokes? Well I have to say that's exactly what I found myself doing with the Sale-A-Bration stamp set So Hoppy Together. So when I realised that the What Will You Stamp? challenge #WWYS210 used this set, I couldn't resist any longer. So here's what happened, I saw the frog with the glasses and thought that he looked very studious. Then that made me think of reading, and of course ... VIEW POST

Sympathy thank you card created using the Kindness & Compassion and By The Bay Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up!

A Card I Hope You Won’t Need

March 10, 2019 Leave a Comment

One the hardest types of card to make is sympathy card. I like to keep them simple and quiet with very little fussiness. The Kindness & Compassion Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! is perfect for this. It's a sentiment only set which means you can leave it plain or add your own imagery if you want. It also has sentiments for the inside of the cards too which is invaluable. I addition to sending sympathy, the set includes a sympathy thank you sentiment, and I decided to use this for my Simple ... VIEW POST
