I never thought we would get these stamps and have been very jealous of the US demonstrators... but there are now some special single stamps available for purchase! I think my favourite of the lot is Hello, Hello, but I am sure I will find reasons to buy and use... Continue reading

With the changes to our catalogues this year, the time for the retiring lists has come round far too quickly. If, like me, there are things on your wish list that are listed as retiring you don't have long left to get hold of them! These products are only available... Continue reading

A sweet 3"x3" card using Stampin' Up! Tea for Two DSP and Friendly Phrases stamp set, demonstrating the paper pleating technique. Continue reading

It's Tuesday again and I've got another technqiue to share... spotlighting. You can add a splash of colour without going all out and colouring your whole image. Here's the effect tested out with Pleasant Poppies: I chose to go with pink poppies for a subtle effect, but layering with Basic... Continue reading

I was so excited to hear that a couple of my best friends have finally got engaged. I say finally as they were together before my now husband and I even went on our first date, and we have been married for two and a half years! Special congratulations were... Continue reading

I had been invited to the wedding of a work colleague this summer, but unfortunately we're going to be on holiday. I hadn't sent an engagement card, so thought that my reply was a good opportunity to congratulate them more formally! The twist fold card is particularly useful in that... Continue reading

I'm not sure if this is going to work, but I would really like to share a series of technqiues with you all. Yes, I admit it, I am a technique girl! I love seeing new ideas and adapting them to work with my (extensive) Stampin' Up! stash. Let's see... Continue reading

This card is for you, to say thank you for still checking my blog despite the lack of posts! Sale-a-Bration inspiration from me has been a bit lacking (well, completely lacking really!). I have got projects to show, and also love the free products that have been available so might... Continue reading

There is nothing I hate more than going to a blog for inspiration and seeing the same post up for ages... and I am definitely guilty as charged! I am working on so much that I want to share with you at the moment. A new blog design, incentives for... Continue reading

I have lots to share today! We can now order from the new Autumn/Winter Seasonal Catalogue. These new seasonal catalogues (2 a year) contain much more product than the mini catalogues we have had before, which can only be a good thing (except for my credit card...). This catalogue contains... Continue reading

A lot of my friends seem to either be getting married or having babies... both of which are excellent reasons to craft beautiful gifts and cards! I decided on a lovely trifold shutter album for the recent wedding of a friend, this time using the Beau Chateau DSP. What do... Continue reading

I couldn't let the Queen's Diamond Jubilee weekend pass me by without letting it inspire me to make a suitably patriotic card! I love the Twitterpated Designer Series Papers in the new Summer Mini catalogue, and wanted to use them to make a Union Flag card. It's missing something, don't... Continue reading

One of my colleagues was at a wedding over the weekend and I offered to make a wedding card for her to really match the bride's tastes. I love making wedding cards and presents. In fact, I just love weddings! The Marry Me stamp set in the Spring Mini Catalogue... Continue reading

You can choose from 4 beautiful designs - Berry Blossoms, Beyond the Garden, Nursery Nest or Pocketful of Posies. Which will... Continue reading

Here's my attempt for this week's challenge over at Less is More, which is a colour challenge using neutrals. I never really need encouragement to use neutral tones so it was just a case of deciding on the stamp set to use. I've seen a lot of cards cutting up... Continue reading

I spent ages trying to find a Meander Book tutorial that would allow me to put tags cut with the Two Tags die into the pockets... I should have known that a fellow Pink Lady would have the solution! Peg Coombes has posted a couple of Meander Books that aren't... Continue reading

I forgot to post this one... I'm getting much better at cutting up and actually using my DSP! I've covered up the join between the two paper strips using a strip of Very Vanilla cut with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch. Continue reading

I often look at challenge blogs, but either cannot come up with an idea in time or don't have the time to try an idea out! The 'Less is More' challenge launches on Saturdays, and although I'm cutting it fine at least I've made it this week. The challenge set... Continue reading
