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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I needed some inspiration last week and was scrolling through Pinterest, which is often our ‘go to’ for inspiration for ideas for almost everything!!!

This was one of the stamp sets that we received at Onstage at our evening workshop. I bought the DSP and finally got around to using it this week. My first card was inspired by Donna Ross of Stamp Sophisticates . The card is placed on a Basic White base and I used Stylish Shapes […]
After I get my head around the title, (as I keep calling it the wrong thing!!!) this week, I used Impressions Abloom to create some cards and also introduce you to all the new Incolours for 2025-2027. I used the Incolours for the base of my cards and made one in each colour using the […]
I was intrigued by this bundle and decided to purchase it. I could see it had potential for me to create with it. The DSP has lots of woven texture printed paper and the stamp set continues with this theme. The dies are rectangular and have a pattern around them. For my first card, I […]
We recently attended OnStage in Brisbane and the new Stampin’ Up! catalogue was released to those who attended. It was exciting to see demonstrators showcasing some of the products from it. As soon as I saw Beautiful Gallery, I knew right away that it was a suite that I must have. I could see so […]
