You’re out of this world!

Eeeeek - how darn cute is this card? Now I'll be honest, this card first grabbed my youngest son's attention before it did mine. He is absolutely mad about anything to do with space - rockets, the planets, stars etc. But when you look at it, how can you not add it to your shopping… Continue reading You’re out of this world!

Gothic Elegance

I've always had a bit of gothic streak, stemming from my teens and whilst it isn't as prevalent now, I still love the gothic style and some of the flourishes that form part of it. The Simply Elegant suite caught my eye the first time I flicked through the new Annual Catalogue pages and it… Continue reading Gothic Elegance

Simple Sunday #16 – Flowers of Friendship

Welcome to my new Sunday series, affectionately known as Simple Sunday! The aim of this series is to showcase projects using minimal supplies, ideal for the beginner crafter or someone new to Stampin’ Up! Each project is a white card base with a 3×3" panel decorated using a single stamp set or die set. This week’s… Continue reading Simple Sunday #16 – Flowers of Friendship

Artistic Thanks

Sometimes the prettiest things happen by accident, you had something completely different in mind or you didn't know what the finished project would look like but you had a play anyway. Today's card is one of those moments, whilst on the phone to a friend I was distracted by the conversation taking place and randomly… Continue reading Artistic Thanks

Succulent Contours

From the new 2021-2023 Incolors, I think Soft Succulent is my favourite. I'm not normally a green fan, but there's something about the muted green shade that I simply cannot stop using. When the demonstrator pre-order opened up, the first things to go in my basket were the new incolor ink pads, card stock, ribbon… Continue reading Succulent Contours

Etched in Ombre

I love trying out new techniques, but then I also have a set of techniques I like to keep going back to as part of my card making. As part of an event that Stampin' Up! held in April for Demonstrators, we had to make a swap with the stamp set 'Etched in Nature'. I… Continue reading Etched in Ombre

Shimmering Incolor Birthday

Whoop! Everyone loves a project with something that shimmers, right? I know I do. What's more, it's one of the new colours and it uses a full sheet to showcase the gorgeousness (that's a word) of the paper. The new Incolor Shimmer paper is beautiful and whilst my photos don't quite capture just how beautiful… Continue reading Shimmering Incolor Birthday

Hand-penned Thanks

Everybody loves getting more value for their money - which is what this project originally was themed around. I had started to make a One Sheet Wonder and got about 6 cards in when I didn't like how the remaining few would look, so I stopped. The pictures of the other cards haven't made it… Continue reading Hand-penned Thanks
