  • Fast and Fun Notes Too

    As promised, here’s the baby card that I’ve made using Fast and Fun Notes, as well as the same sketch from the Christmas Card. Just another clean and simple card, set off with that beautiful Parisian Breeze Designer Paper, which is textured by the way….. and this is the last month you’ll be able to…

  • Fast and Fun Notes

    I think we received this set LAST year at Convention, and I’ve not used it since then.  Another shame on me! This one is a fairly simple layout, love the Ski Slope Paper soooo much, especially this pattern, works well with any of the Christmas stamps. I’ll have another card in the same layout and…

  • Crazy for Cupcakes

    I bought this set because I thought how wonderful they were etc etc, and this is the second time I’ve inked them, shame on me! This card was for a Girls Night In Challenge Jayne Mercer held on the weekend.  On the night I just couldn’t get it to work, I’m still not real happy…

  • 12 Weeks of Christmas

    Wow, we are nearly up to week 5 of our 12 Weeks of Christmas inspiration emails. If you aren’t signed up for my newsletter, make sure you enter your details in the signup box on the right.  I won’t be able to resend past Christmas ideas, but you will be able to catch the rest…

  • Punch Art Santa

    Now I’m not really one for Punch Art, but when I saw this Santa I had to make one. His beard is a scallop circle punch, I scored so that 4 scallops were above the score line, then folded it down. I didnt tape this section down, but left it.  Look more like he has…

  • Season Of Joy

    We’re starting to work on Christmas Cards this term at Linc n Learn, so you’ll see even more ideas for yourself.  This card is one of two we did this week. I’ve used markers to colour directly onto the stamp to give the two colours in the image.  You could add more red if you…

  • Boat Loads of Love

    This card is a magazine reject (spaces already filled) so now it’s blog fodder! I’ve used the Paper Piecing Technique for this card, where you stamp the image onto pattern paper and cut out, then layer over another stamped image on your focal piece. Card Recipe: Stamp Set: Boat Loads of Love Card: Not Quite…

  • Lovely as a Tree

    It’s been awhile since I pulled this one out, it’s such a great all rounder set. My usual ‘Lovely as a Tree’ colours consist of Chocolate Chip, Always Artichoke and Mellow Moss.  Just after I stamped this image, I spritzed it lightly with water to make the colours bleed just a little.  You can find…

  • Tree Trimmings

    I love this set.  I was a bit unsure about getting it a first, as they are quite small images, but I’m so glad I did get them – they are such good value for just $24.95 and I also LOVE the Ski Slope Designer Paper I’ve done a little bit of masking for this…

  • More Nursery Necessities

    Here’s the second card that we made at the baby card class. Again, fairly simple, just lots of layering, and a little bit of faux stitching along the side of the card. My Sister’s partner is still hoping there’s a chance their baby could be a girl, even tho the ultra sound says otherwise! Card…
