Stampin’ Blends Rules Broken Again

February 19, 2019 2 Comments

I admit it, I have a serious infatuation with my Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. Over the past 9 months I've gradually acquired them all and now have a wonderful array of colours to choose from. While Stampin' Blends are designed to blend beautifully, I love them for another reason as well. Unlike Stampin' Write Markers, the alcohol in Stampin' Blends means that you can colour large areas without tell-tale lines. There's also a translucent quality to the colouring which is simply ...

Happy Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2019 2 Comments

We're already halfway through February and today is Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day in North America is celebrated very differently to the UK where I grew up. Over there a Valentine's card is sent to your significant other or, anonymously to someone you'd like to be your significant other. Here Valentine's cards and gifts are given more widely, even by young children to all their classmates. I've no doubt you'll see lots of red and/or hearts today so I thought I'd do something a little ... VIEW POST

Too Much Tufted Fun

February 9, 2019 6 Comments

Today I start with an apology for the lateness of my blog. I've no excuse other than I was having too much fun creating today's project and forgot about the time. So hopefully better late than never, here's a gift tag using the Tufted Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. LUXURIOUSLY TUFTED BASE I started this project with a vague idea for a really luxurious looking base. So I cut a 2" x 4-1/4" piece of Merry Merlot Card and dampened it with clean water using a Stampin' ... VIEW POST

Strong & Beautiful (and unstoppable)

February 7, 2019 Leave a Comment

One of the problems with greetings cards is, what happens to them after the occasion has ended? I mean, you can only keep a birthday card on display for so long, no matter how nice it is. That's why sometimes what starts out as a card ends up being something else entirely. Like this decorated notepad with an altered sentiment from the Strong & Beautiful Stamp Set. SIMPLE START I began this project very simply with a 5" x 8" notepad and a piece from the Nature's Poem 12" x 12" ... VIEW POST
