Coming to Australia, Christmas is celebrated in a different way! First of all, for Aussies, there is the hope of warm temperatures, salads and cold lunch and maybe a swim or visit to the beach. For me, it was a bit of a culture shock! I was used to cold days, sitting by the fire […]
A Modern Christmas
Yes – we are in September and I suspect the Christmas decorations will be up soon in the shops!! Stampin’ Up has this unusual, but stunning suite online. Don’t forget to check the online items as well as the mini catalogue! I was drawn to this as it looks so elegant in Black, White and […]
Inspiring Imperfections
We are into Spring!!! This is one of my favourite times of year as the trees come alive as the weather warms up and there are bursts of colour everywhere you look! I love this suite ‘Inspiring Imperfections’ that is in the Annual Catalogue. As I have mentioned before, when I used it, I love […]
Peace on Earth
As I write this, I and sure that, you like me, would love peace on earth. When we look around we see chaos and pain, and it is an encouragement to know that Peace on Earth is not a dream, but will one day be a reality. This suite is in our new Christmas Catalogue. […]
Beautiful Gallery
This suite is a ‘return often’ joy for me. I fell in love with this set when I saw it in the catalogue and then when I saw it demonstrated OnStage at Brisbane, I definitely had it on my list!! Sometimes I think that all of us use a stamp set for a while and […]
Embossing Folders and Pretty Florals
I wanted to highlight the beautiful embossing folder that Stampin’ Up have. When you use them, they add something special to your card. I wanted to pair them today with the Pretty Florals dies. I also have the stamp set, but if you don’t have it, this is a way you can actually just use […]
Grow with Love Part 2
Another week and some more cards to create. This week I was inspired to try couple of different techniques to add something else to the cards I make. For the first card I made a stencil using one of the circle punches. I punched three circles on a piece of card and by layering this […]
Grow with Love: Part 1
I was a little behind in getting this bundle, but have had lots of fun creating with it since its purchase. It is an Online set only and don’t forget about these. They are current for a year, just like the ones in the Annual Catalogue, (or until they run out). As well as the […]
Layers of Beauty
I have been bit behind in getting this bundle and the masks but it has continued to be available in the Annual Catalogue, so I purchased it. I have been enjoying getting to know it and looking at some of the beautiful cards that have been created and shown on Pinterest. Once you get the […]
‘CASING’ Beautiful Gallery
I needed some inspiration last week and was scrolling through Pinterest, which is often our ‘go to’ for inspiration for ideas for almost everything!!! I found a group of cards created by Patty Bennett, who is an Stampin’ UpĀ© Demonstrator in the USA. Patty has five different folds that she often uses for the basis […]
