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 […]
Welcome to our Blog Hop for September. This month we had a layout challenge. I have fallen in love with the Texture Chic Suite. It is really versatile, as you can use it for any season of the year. Since we are coming into the warmer days (hopefully!), I thought I’d make a ‘beachy’ card. […]
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!! […]
I fell in love with the DSP from the Wonderful World bundle as soon as I saw it in the Sale-a-bration Catalogue. You can get it free with a $180 purchase of Stampin Up goodies!! Two of my cards are cased from Pinterest and the rest were my own inspiration. The first card is cased […]

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 […]
I have been absent a bit from my social media recently as I was distracted by my mum being very ill and then her death and our journey to the UK to say goodbye. I found it hard to be creative unless I really had to. However I am trying to get back into posting […]
This month we have been given the challenge to use the following colours: Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam and our choice of one of the new In Colours from the 2022-2023 Catalogue. I decided to use Sweet Sorbet and chose the Hues of Happiness Bundle, Natural Prints and Eden dies. I began with a Thick […]
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 […]
