Elephants Stamping
I had another request for a blog recently and the blog’s name is Stamping Elephants. I love that name. It is so cute. As soon as I read the name I new I had to use the very cute elephant from the Nursery Necessities set in the header some how. The customer loved my first […]

One Little Teepee
Well I probably shouldn’t say one ‘little’ teepee as it is huge! It stands just over 2 meters tall and it is awesome. I love it and can’t wait to see my daughter’s expression when she wakes up and sees this ‘giant’ in the lounge room. Now I just have to hide it somewhere […]

It’s been so long since I put a card up to show you all so I made myself sit down today and take time out of house cleaning to do this. I know it’s such a chore to do stamping but I just made myself do it anyway 🙂 ha ha. I bought a few […]

Nearly Finished
Just thought I’d pop in and say my Teepee is nearly finished. All the sewing is done I just need the bamboo poles to finish it off and then I’ll take some photos to show you. I can’t wait to give it to my daughter for her birthday. She is going to love it!

Christmas Flower Decorations
This flower is just adorable. It was brought to my attention recently in the idea book and catalogue on page 34. I just love making little fiddly things and this seemed to fit that category well. Once I started making it however I realized it wasn’t fiddly and that it was infact very easy. You […]

Paper Tole
I have a confession to make, I secretly love paper tole. Paper Tole is the technique of layering multiple copies of an image together to form a 3 dimensional version of the picture. Sometimes it can be a bit cluttered and too grandma-ish (no offense to any Grandma’s reading this) but the time and skill […]

Get Whale Soon
This is another card for someone special. It needed to be bright and cheery as the illness is not 😦 I haven’t really used these colours before as I’m not a ‘bright colours’ person. But I think this card look greats. I don’t even have the inks to match but Not Quite Navy has worked […]
