Our challenge this month was a layout challenge. While I was at camp last weekend, I created this card. The base is Balmy Blue and I added two layers of Snowflake Speciality Vellum with a strip of Silver foil in between. The sentiment is from Hope and Peace and was stamped in Versamark and heat […]
This month our challenge was to use the three colours – Sweet Sorbet, Blushing Bride and Old Olive. On Mother’s Day, my daughter made me a beautiful card using Tulips. Sometimes it is easy to pass over stamps that had been in a previous catalogue and forget how beautiful they are. I took the idea […]
This month our challenge was to use the colours – Tahitian Tide, Crushed Curry and Real Red. All three colours are quite strong so it was a challenge to make a card that I was pleased with. I made several and ended up with the first one I made and the final one I made!! […]
This month our theme was “Anything Goes” – choosing from the July – December Mini Catalogue. I purchased Cottage Wreaths bundle and have enjoyed playing with it. I teamed it up with Splendid Day DSP to create a monochromatic look on my card. The base is Evening Evergreen and I used a layer of Soft […]
This month we had a sketch to base our card on. I decided to use Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper for this one and was inspired to use the sketch in a slightly different way! I glued the DSP to a white card base on the front and centre inside. I then cut out […]

This month for our Blog Hop, we had a sketch on which to base our card. This past weekend I was playing with the Waves of the Ocean suite. I had bought this several weeks ago but it arrived the day I was leaving to go overseas for a funeral, so the suite had to […]
This month we had a colour challenge using the colours Misty Moonlight, Magenta Madness and Bumblebee. These are the retiring colours for 2020 – 2022. I will miss these – especially Misty Moonlight – as it has been a softer colour of navy! I chose a stamp set that I hadn’t used for a while […]
This month we have a layout challenge. Last weekend I was at Stamp Retreat and came up with an idea for a card that thought a little ‘outside the box’. I chose the New Horizons DSP as my background paper where it has a natural divide in the middle where the foreground meets the horizon […]
This month we are very relaxed in our blog hop as it is summer here in Australia! Our theme is ‘Anything goes’! I decided to make my own DSP using the stamp sets Flowing Flowers and Ranunculus Romance. I actually didn’t notice these stamp sets in the new Mini catalogue the first few times I […]
