VIDEO Field Flowers Convention Card

Hello Everyone

Although I am only publishing it today, this is one of the first video's I filmed - so be kind to me! :)

It features Field Flowers, a very pretty stamp set, and was one of my swaps at convention last year.






Hope you liked today's video. I will be back with another project on Friday.

Vintage Ferris Wheel Card

Hello Everyone

Today's project is another we did in class this month. This is the second card using the same stamp set, Feeling Sentimental, but the other was clean and modern and this one is vintage and distressed.

I love how you can use the same stamps to create such different projects.

Here we stamped the background with the Travel Joural wheel, (demounted). We made the rosette with scalloped circle punches, a button. ribbon and twine.




We stamped along the bottom using Viola's lace - another demounted wheel.

Petal Cone Boxes

Hello Everyone

I made these boxes a while ago to thank some of my customers who came to help me at an event. Each contained some pretty coloured embossing powder.

They are made with the Petal Cone die and are stamped using the Pennant Parade.



I used co-ordinating brads on the top in Lucky Limeade, Pool Party and Calypso Coral. If you love these colours - remember that they are likely to be retiring at the end of June, so stock up now!



Hope you like today's project.

Prize Winning Grunge!

Hello Everyone

Anyone who knows me, knows I don't really 'do' grunge - but I knew I had to get grungy when my upline Amanda set a challenge to decorate one of the Kraft Gift Boxes.


These boxes are available in our big catalogue and come looking very clean. LOL! You can stamp them, (they come flat), you can cover them in DSP, or you can ink them with sponges. Guess what I did?

I used the stamp sets Daring Adventure, Postage Due and Clockworks to decorate it. Everything is stamped and inked using Early Espresso ink. I made a belly band and finshed my project with Bakers Twine and a pin and brad from the Vintage Trinkets.


I was delighted to win the prize for best box at Amanda's team training night - up against some beautiful creations.

So want to see what the box looked like first? Check page 161 in the catalogue - you get 4 boxes for £2.75.

Spring Sampler Sampler!

Hello Everyone

Today's project is a something made using the Spring Sampler and fabby new stamp set from the Spring/Summer catalogue from Stampin' Up!

Here I have cut little bookmarks using the Two Tags die and stamped some of the cute images from this set. Therte are 24 sweet little images to use - you will love them!



I am hoping to see less welly boots this year after such a wet year in 2012 - but those little spotty ones make me want to go and stamp in the puddles!

Have you got your copy of the new Spring/Summer catalogue from Stampin' Up! yet? If not contact me and I will help you out!

VIDEO By the Tide - Brayered!

Hello Everyone

Today's video features the stamp set I was most excited about in the new Spring/Summer catalogue. It is called By the Tide. I wanted to get a true 'underwater' look so decided to with a brayer.






So have I inspired you to get your brayer out and dust it off? Let me know.
