  • Fabulous Flowers

    This one was for a sketch challenge, but I was too late photographing it to submit for the challenge!  We made it at Linc n Learn. Another Kissing Technique card, using Soft Sky and Not Quite Navy.  Adding the glitter was an after thought, but it certainly makes a huge amount of difference to the…

  • Magnolia Design Team Card

    It’s been so long since I’ve done a card for the Design Team, I thought I’d best get cracking.  And I was spurred on finding the Magnolia DownUnder Challenge blog, so that helped. The theme is Bling it On!  But I’m thinking that the Rhinestones at the top look out of place and that maybe…

  • Lovely as a Tree

    My favourite colour combination for a masculine card – Chocolate Chip, Always Artichoke and Mellow Moss. Always Artichoke was stamped with the Weathered Background, and the edges sponged with Always Artichoke Ink.  The Mellow Moss piece has been stamped with the Weathered Background also, but this time in Chocolate Chip, and sponged with Chocolate Chip….

  • 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…

  • 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…

Ribbon, Designer Series Paper, Accessories all from 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…
