Image
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

Spotlighting with Pleasant Poppies
Image
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

Congratulations with Hearts a Flutter

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

Twist Fold Congratulations
Image
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 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

Jubilee Inspired Crafting

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

Neutral Spiced Paisley
Image
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

Valentine's Meander Book

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
