Have you all seen the new Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue from Stampin’ Up!?  If you haven’t, go and check it out now! This post is to show you one of the cutest punches ever.  It’s a little cupcake!  And that’s not all, there’s a stamp set that co-ordinates with it! I haven’t had a chance to […]


Birthday Bakery

Now that the boring “Man” card is out of the way, here is something cute 🙂 I’ve been having Regal Rose (pink) withdrawals lately as I haven’t had much of a chance to do my card making and I just had to use it.  I’ve teamed it up with Early Espresso and Whisper White with […]


Lately I can’t get enough of Kraft.  That’s kraft (or crumb cake from Stampin’ Up!) coloured cardstock and ink and ribbon and all sorts of earthy natural tones. So for this card I combined that earthiness with some shine. I have had this card in my “To CASE” file for quite some time. And since […]


Free Class

I was contacted a few months ago about doing a card class at a library in the area.  And Thursday was the day of the class.  It was lovely to meet the ladies that came along and to hear about what they love about card making and crafting.  They loved it too and it’s going […]


Embellish Magazine have colour challenges regularly on their blog.  This is their colour challenge at the moment and each colour challenge has an added component and this time it is Birds.

I know that you’ve noticed my lack of posts lately so I’m trying to make up for it by showing you all my “excuses”.  If you want to read more about what’s been keeping me away, read this post. But today I’m here to show off my latest pics for a website header.  I seem […]


When I do a demonstration for a hostess I bring along some kits for people to make their own card and it’s quite often that I have left over kits.  These kits of cut up card and ribbon tend to sit on my shelf and never get made up.  But today I decided to do […]


For my sister’s birthday party we decided it would be nice to have a small box of cards available that everyone could write a memory they have of her or something special about her.  That way she can sit down later and read them all and have a laugh, or cry, and hopefully enjoy the […]


I have a friend (you know who you are lol) who doesn’t have a huge supply of Stampin’ Up! products.  I was like this too when I first signed up as a demonstrator and I felt really inadequate compared to all the other beautiful examples that I found online.  I just wanted it all and […]


The new mini catalogue is a great friend (lol) but in the new Spring Mini Catalogue there is a beautiful stamp set called Great Friend.  I promised I’d put some samples up using mini catalogue items and here is the first one. For this card I have used Not Quite Navy, Old Olive and Baja […]
