I’m very pleased to announce that I am now running a Tutorial by Mail program 🙂 Now you can receive fully photographed step by step instructions on how to recreate the cards you see on my site. If you are on my newsletter list you would have seen yesterday’s email about the Paper Piecing Tutorial. …
Woohoo, who likes FREE stamps?? I know I do. To go in the running to win the beautiful Blooming in Happiness Stamp Set simply sign up for my Newsletter which is on the side bar at the top. I’m heading off to Adelaide soon for the Quilt and Craft Fair, so I’ll draw a name…
I was fine while I was making this card, and then when I stamped the With Sympathy, I lost my bundle a little. Stampin’ Up! Australia have had some very sad news this last week. Our General Manager Dave Abbott passed away from a rare blood disease. My heart goes out to his wife Cathy…
This card is a direct CASE from the Catalogue, I’ve admired this card for so long, thinking that one day, I’ll get around to making it. Well today was that day, and we made it at Linc n Learn. [photopress:IMG_3900.JPG,full,pp_empty] I just think it is such a great card, really beautiful. The base card is…
I sent out an email last week to anyone who had expressed interest in Stampin’ Up! last week advertising a New Demonstrator Promotion that I’ve decided to run myself…. so I thought I’d best post it here just in case you’ve ever thought about it yourself. October is a fantastic time to join the Stampin’…
Remember my Fishy Friends cards that I made to teach at the Quilt and Craft Fair? Well the lovely ladies at Experitise Events published it in the Craft Fair Friend magazine 🙂 [photopress:IMG_3895.JPG,full,pp_empty] Carla asked on the New Chatbox if I had any tips about attending fairs. I’ve really only attended two of them since…
[photopress:IMG_3894.JPG,full,pp_empty] Here’s another image from Sharon from the All Mixed Up Set. The sketch is a challenge from SCS, there is actually a piece of the cardstock from the right hand side which has been cut away. On the inside edge, I’ve stamped a Penny Black Stamp – You Quack me Up! When I first…
[photopress:IMG_3893.JPG,full,pp_empty] The very lovely Sharon sent me some images of All Mixed Up to have a play with. Seeing that I have boys, I said to Sharon, the Croc, Spaceman and Duck images will be fine, but she slipped a few Ballerina images in too. Thank Goodness!! I needed to make up a card for a…
Doesnt feel like it today. But at least we are getting rain, not enough to really wet the ground tho 🙁 Anyway, onto the Card. For the last week of Linc n Learn last term, I decided to let the girls come up with their own creations. I gave them the card bases and layering…
Seeing as the Looks Like Spring set is the promtion for the month (purchase the stamp set and matching punch, get a free pack of spring papers) I thought I’d better get some Spring Cards up. This one is based on another I’ve seen. I’ve changed the colours and turned it into a square card…
Honestly if do you dont have one of these yet, you are missing out BIG time. What a fantastic idea to put ALL the materials needed for 10 cards in one kit (well nearly all, you will require a pair of scissors). AND because it’s World Card Making Day on October 7th, Stampin’ Up! are…
I’m now one of these [photopress:PCD07.gif,full,pp_empty] In typical me style, I’ve joined right at the very last moment. Jenni from The Scrappers Stash is holding a pink card drive. I’ve pledged to make 44 cards (that’s how old my mum was when she passed) in the Pink Theme. We send our cards into Jen, and she’ll pass…
Today is my Dad’s partners’ daughters (get all that) 18th Birthday. So lots of GLITTER was in need for this one. The sketch is based losely on a Dirty Dozen Sketch from SCS. [photopress:IMG_3817.JPG,full,pp_empty] [photopress:IMG_3819.JPG,full,pp_empty] The colours are Tempting Turquoise, Regal Rose and Pretty in Pink. Once again coloured with Markers and Aquapainter. I’ve used…
I had this fun guy all coloured up from earlier in the week, so rather than have him just sitting on my desk (as many do) I decided to do the Sketch Challenge from SCS. [photopress:IMG_3815.JPG,full,pp_empty] Colours are Ruby Red, Cameo Coral and Summer Sun. I’ve used watercolour paper and coloured him with Markers and…
