Daisy Delight meets Share What You Love DSP

Two beautiful products which go so well together.
I created the cut out shape by punching the daisy out first and then going over with the 2¼ circle punch. Got the inspiration from Pinterest.

Thinking of Spring, Sunshine Sayings & Wishes

It was cold and frosty today (Weds 23rd Jan) when I thought of a spring card using the Sunshine Sayings stampset and matching Sunshine Wishes Dies, a quick search on YouTube found a lovely creation from Jensscrappypages which I had to CASE! 

Beautiful You meets Colourful Seasons

A friend of mine is feeling a little under pressure and just wants to be herself again, so I thought I would combine two lovely sets. Beautiful You and Colourful Seasons and do a bit of water colouring which I haven't done for a while.

Revisiting Balloon Celebration

Another in my occasional series on visiting older stamp sets that are still current, this is number three and today it is the turn of Balloon Celebration together with the coordinating balloon bouquet punch. Card has been cased from the lovely Kay Kalthoff and you can find her original here.

Pop of Petals meets Share What You Love

Welcome to today's blog post and video, it is the turn of Pop Of Petals to be demonstrated which I have partnered with the Share What You love Speciality DSP.

Helping Others... (It's What We Do) Part 2

My wife has just been accepted for a new job, so she will be leaving where she is now after 10 years, and the staff have a habit of doing a collection and buying chocolates, orchids, flowers etc, all very nice.
Liz wants to do something different, as you may know we both volunteer for Maggie's Cancer Care Centre so Liz has decided that anything that is raised should go to Maggie's.

First Look at This Little Piggy...

Today is my first look at a lovely fun stamp set called This Little Piggy and also my first use of Stampin' Blends!

Helping Others... (It's What We Do) Part 1

Hello everyone, thank you for popping in today.

Before Christmas I had a lot of stock left as I hadn't been able to do the Maggie's Christmas Fayre (which I normally do) so the wife had the idea of having a table at her workplace for a couple of weeks and see if we could raise any money that way.

Well..

Revisiting Sheltering Tree

Welcome to number two in an occasional series where I revisit an older but still current stamp set.

Today it is the turn of Sheltering Tree and a #simplestamping one layer friendship card.

#stampinforall Design Team Challenge 14th January 2019

Welcome to another #stampinforall Design Team Project.

This week the challenge is to use a Sale-A-Brathion freebie from the 2019 SAB catalogue.

At the moment I only have the one, the most beautiful Botanical Butterflies DSP, and this is what I have come up with by tweaking a sample from the SAB catalogue.

Animal Outing - A New Purchase

Hello everyone, I have something new to share today, I picked up the Animal Outing stamp set together with the Animal Friends Thinlet Dies,

I used our wonderful resource, namely the annual catalogue to case this card which I slightly tweaked.

Painted Harvest for Spring

Not long now, only 4 weeks until Spring is upon us, so a spring card came to mind using the Painted Harvest stamp set, using one of the new in-colours I hope I have achieved that feeling of spring in the air!!

Best Bunny Bundle

What an amazing set this is, stamp set and a matching punch.

This is what I designed.

Commission Cards From My Sister

I was asked to do a series of cards for my sister for various birthdays that are coming up.

Revisiting Lovely as A Tree

Such a beautiful set this, been around forever and will probably continue to be so.
A simple card, 1 bit of stamping and 1 bit of embossing to create a classic card. No sentiment is on purpose as it can then go in your card stash and a sentiment added to suit the occasion.

You Are Strong and Beautiful

A meeting of two beautiful stamp sets (see what I did there!)
Beautiful You has to be one of my all time favourites, it's only missing one thing to make it perfect... DIES!!
This is what I have designed for this project. #simplestamping

Cards for a Friend

It was a friends birthday late in December and also of course Christmas, here is a couple of cards I made for her :)

I cased a German demonstrator, you can find their project here

Masculine Birthday Cards

So it is birthday time again and a commission from my niece again for cards from her and her son to her dad/granddad.

This is what I came up with, mostly retired items as I don't have the new classic garage suite yet

The card I made for my Great Nephew to give.

Dandelion Wishes meets Dragonfly Dreams

Welcome to my first video project for 2019.

Love the way this turned out with the combination of Crumb Cake and Copper, here is the card.

I Made A Planner

I have a personal sized Filofax which now doesn't cut the mustard as it has become too small for me to write in and make any sense of what I have written. So I decided to make my own!

The planner is as yet undecorated, there will be another post when I have got that done!

Here is where we are so far... I chose Tranquil Textures for the covers.

Three Years!

That's right, 3 years ago today I became a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I can honestly say it was the best decision ever. I have gone from being initially a discount demo to now where I am trying to build some sort of business, it is going to be a long road but I am here for the duration!

Many thanks to my upline, Helen and all the demonstrators I have met and become friends with, you are my rocks when I falter, love you all x

Feminine Birthday Cards

So, it is my sister's birthday on Monday, so time to #makeacardsendacard, my niece also commissioned me to make two cards for the event, one from her and one from her son.

All of the products used (except any retired ones) will be listed at the bottom of the page.

This is what I came up with... This is my card to her.

Snowflake ATC's for Swaps

Hello everyone, well, it's time of the month again, I am part of the UK Stampers Forum on Facebook and each month there is (amongst others) an ATC swap.

For December the theme was snowflakes and this is what I came up with...
