  • Simply Sent Great Day

    You know, Stampin’ Up! have a great range of Simply Sent kits which are ideal for the beginner cardmaker who is perhaps a little scared of taking that leap!!  These kits often get overlooked I think. Here’s the Simply Sent Great Day card. I must admit, in the catalogue (pg 136, 137) they don’t look…

  • Elegant Bird

    At convention, the Elegant Bird die was demonstrated a few times, and of course then I HAD to have it.  ……and then I didn’t use it. Stumped as to what to do with it, I just decided to CASE the Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue.  I’m a little disappointed with a few things on it, but overall…

  • iPads & iPhones

    I so desperately want an iPad but am having trouble justifying one. I’m sure I can somehow use it for business. I’m currently writing this from my iPhone and I’m sure it would be soooo much easier on an iPad!! Anyhoo did you know you can save Stampin Up catalogues to your phones and pads??…

  • Dynamic Darling

    Woohoo!!  Lookie at what I received!! This was for my Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive card.  This week they’ll have some subtle colours, so looking forward to playing again. Tomorrow I’m off to the Blue Bird Markets, so hopefully I’ll have some photo’s to share from that. Cheerie

  • Too Many Candles

    Cruising Pinterest again today (it’s becoming a little dangerous!!) and I came across a card by Linda Bullard that had been pinned from Splitcoast I think. I raced off to my room to recreate her fun card. I didn’t have same supplies as the original card, so I’ve swapped some out, and some of the…

  • Paisley Petals

    Well… the idea was there, but not the execution!!  I don’t know what it is that I can’t put my finger on.  Maybe a bad choice of colours?? I guess it would be okay as just a little note card. Card Recipe: All products from Stampin’ Up! Card: Whisper White, Bravo Burgundy, Paisley Petals Designer…

  • Cake Inspiration

    You can take inspiration from almost anywhere.  Here’s a picture of a cake that is making the rounds on Pinterest.   Now never in my wildest dreams would I EVER attempt to create something like this.  I can just see it now – Complete FAIL!!!! BUT…….  it looks great in a card 🙂 Mine might…

  • Wonderful You

    The other day I asked on my Facebook page what you did when you had to make a card, but really couldn’t be bothered to.  My downline Alison Barclay provided a link to a simple but really lovely card she’d made. Tonight, I COULD be bothered, but was running short on time, so I took…

  • Recruit Offer

      I’ve decided to hold a very short ‘Join Stampin’ Up!’ offer. So if you join Stampin Up, (under me of course) I’ll provide you with the links to access the next 6 months of my Virtual Stamp Club Classes. Each class has 3 projects and there is between 45 to an hours worth of…

  • Forever and Always

    I must admit I don’t take very many photo’s at convention, but this year I did take a few of the displays Stampin’ Up! had set up. The following card was inspired by a scrapbook page/canvas that had a beautiful cluster of flowers and leaves.  I think I’ve used all the wrong punches for my…
