  • Boho Backgrounds

    This is one of the cards we made at Linc n Learn this week.  It’s one of Keesh Byl’s challenges, and also the same layout used for one of my Stamps by Mail cards. The River Rock base has been stamped randomly with the Medallion image, Certainly Celery stamped with the circles, and Wild Wasabi…

  • WooHoo!

    I’m currently reading the new 2009/2010 Idea Book & Catalogue  🙂  Now I dont have my copies yet, this one was sent to me from a dear friend (thank you so much!) Just flicking through it and ‘oooo’ing and ‘aaaaa’ing, I have noticed that the price of Inkpads are increasing to $11.95 and the refills…

  • Easter Basket

    Monica Gale, a demo from the UK, has created a cute little Easter Basket that looked so easy, I had to have a go myself.  And it was extremely easy! I’ll be sending out instructions in my April Newsletter, so if you aren’t on my newsletter list, the sign up box is on the far…

  • Petal Prints

    Yet another set soon to be retired by Stampin’ Up! – gosh there are lots of them! To colour my image for this card, I’ve used the Markers direct to rubber.  The stem is done in Always Artichoke, and the petals in Blush Blossom and Rose Red.  The layering card has also been stamped tone…

  • Fishy Friends

    Here’s another set soon to be retired.  I fell inlove with this set long before I joined Stampin’ Up!  It’s a great set to colour.  Their little characters make me smile 🙂 I’ve used the Fishy Wheel with the Wheel Guide for the background images, and the On the Spot background stamp on the Old…

  • Fabulous Flowers

    Here’s another of my favourite Stampin’ Up! stamp sets, Fabulous Flowers – also soon to be retired. The image of this card was done by inking up the large flower in Shadow, inking up the flourish image from Baroque Motifs with Close to Cocoa. Then firmly press the two inked stamps together, and stamp the…

  • Eastern Blooms

    I’ve used this set so many times recently, but the cards never make it to the blog, as they are apart of the Stamps by Mail club I run (new club starting soon). Here’s a card we made a Linc n Learn this week.  All edges of card and paper have been sponged, and chunky…

  • Blossoms Abound

    This set would have to be one of my most favourite sets in my collection.  It’s elegant and classy.  You can get some great rustic and grungy looks from it also, very versatile, AND it’s on the retired list, so if you’ve been longing for it, best to grab it now. The colours I’ve use…
