As part of my recent World Card Making Day challenge it was inevitable that I'd make some Christmas cards. In fact I surprised myself by making fewer than I expected. Sometimes that's the way it goes when you're trying to design and make 24 different cards in 24 hours. Today's project was number 6 of the 24 and for instant inspiration I couldn't resist the gorgeous Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set. POINSETTIA PETALS I began by choosing the large complete poinsettia image from the ... VIEW POST
Sweets & Treats For A Simple Project
After my World Card Making Day 24 hour marathon at the weekend I wanted to create something quick and easy to wind down. So what better way to practice my colouring and design ideas than on a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of card. Of course it certainly doesn't hurt that I can turn that strip into a bookmark with a punch and a bit of ribbon. So out came the Sweets & Treats Stamp Set and a bunch of Stampin' Blends alcohol markers... On my strip of Thick Whisper White Card I first needed to stamp ... VIEW POST
Chick Lovers Here’s Two Ideas In One!
After my 24 hour card making marathon over the weekend I sat down to make a quick gift tag today. This idea using the Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set and coordinating Birthday Chick Dies came together really easily. However as I was working it occurred to me it was essentially another card, albeit a very small one. So before the final assembly I just had to see what it would look like as a full-sized card, and I love that too. But first let's look at the tag... BIRTHDAY CHICK SCENE This ... VIEW POST
Nothing’s Better Than Coffee Today
Today, October 1st is International Coffee Day. That's a good thing because I think I shall be drinking quite a lot of it over the next 36 hours or so. You see tomorrow, October 2nd is World Card Making Day and I plan to once again attempt to make 24 cards in 24 hours. That's design and make from scratch, twenty four different cards with decorated insides plus coordinating envelopes, all within a single twenty four hour period. Unfortunately before that happens I have to deal with a Bell ... VIEW POST
Delivering Another Simple Card Idea
When I made today's project using the Delivering Cheer Stamp Set I thought I'd come up with a cute Christmas card. But several days later as I looked at the image of the lady carrying a huge pile of gifts I had another idea. The pile of gifts could actually be for any occasion. With a simple change of sentiment you could have a card for a birthday, baby shower, wedding, anything. So now I've added that to my design ideas list for a future blog post. But first, here's my original Christmas ... VIEW POST
No Prince Or Princess To See Here
I suppose it's inevitable that when looking at a stamp set the first thing I see are the larger stamps. And even then it tends to be the images that catch my eye before the sentiments. It's only later if I end up buying it that I notice other things. This was precisely what happened with the Prince & Princess Stamp Set that I got with some Stampin' Rewards that I earned. The first thing I saw was the large frog and swan images, and only later was my eye drawn to the pretty spray of ... VIEW POST
