Today’s card is to wish everyone having a birthday this month a very happy day!

Read MoreWhen I was at OnStage recently, we got to see and play with some of the wonderful new products that will be available in the Mini Catalogue that goes live in January. That’s one of the fantastic perks of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. One of the new sets is Timeless Tulips, and it is a beautiful DistINKive stamp set with lovely tulips and sentiments. There is also a coordinating punch that you can bundle with the stamp set and take advantage of a 10% discount on these 2 great products. For today though, I just used stamping for my card, no punch.
Read MoreMy card today uses an interesting colour combination. One that quite frankly, I did not think would work well, . . . but it does!!! This card is for the FabFriday Challenge, so I wanted to ‘play by the rules’ and give it a shot.
Read MoreIf you are making a birthday card and you want the recipient to have a REALLY happy birthday, what do you do? Well, I used a lot of happy!
Read MoreIt probably isn’t a secret, but blue is my favourite colour. I love the colour blue and would make way too many cards in blue if it weren’t for all the fantastic colours Stampin’ Up! offers, but today my card features Balmy Blue, a colour I love!
Read MoreEver since my daughter was very little, she has loved pigs and cows. I’m not sure why, or where it started, but she still loves them today as an adult. You can imagine how happy I was to see the stamp set This Little Piggy. The cute pigs are so much fun. When the new annual catalogue came out in June my happy level went up another notch, with the Over The Moon stamp set. Now there is a cow stamp set for me to make more fun cards for my daughter.
Read MoreHow many times have you wished someone their happiest birthday ever? I know I have said it, and written in on birthday cards. I don’t really want this year to be their happiest birthday ever, just the happiest birthday they have had yet. I hope that their next birthday will be even better than this one, but that is for another year. My card today will certainly let someone know I want them to have the happiest birthday thay have had yet. It’s their day, and I want to share in celebrating that.
Read MoreMy card today is for the Fab Friday Challenge. It is a colour challenge, and I must say, when I saw the colours they gave us I was not sure about them! They certainly are not colours I would generally put together, but trusting the challenge I moved forward, and surprisingly it works!!
Read MoreI’m having tons of fun colouring my Designer Series Paper with my Stampin’ Blends. Today I coloured a piece of DSP from Garden Lane for a sketch challenge from Case This Sketch.
Read MoreIf you are looking for a great Go-To sentiment set, Well Said is sure to hit the mark. It has all sorts of words you can put together to create a unique greeting, along with some phrases that are wonderful. There is also a coordinating die set called Well Written. Together you can say almost anything! I used the Happy and Birthday from the stamp set for my card today.
Read MoreIf you follow my blog posts, you know I love my Designer Series Paper! The Garden Lane DSP is one of my new favourites. I don’t think it is possible to make a card that isn’t beautiful if you start with this, and that is what I did today.
Read MorePurple Posy is one of the new In Colours and it is lovely! It coordinates beautifully with Highland Heather, with a soft touch.
Read MoreThe new annual Stampin’ Up! Catalogue has two new embossing powders; Shimmer Black and Shimmer White. Today I decided to play with the Shimmer White, and it is magnificent. I have never embossed one of our DistINKtive stamps, so decided to give it a try. While some of the unique shading is lost doing this, it gave me the perfect opportunity to add some highlights.
Read MoreEach year when the annual Stampin’ Up! catalogue is coming to an end I feel a bit sad. All the gorgeous Designer Series Papers that retire will be missed. But then the new catalogue comes and WOW there are is a whole new bunch of gorgeous DSP to play with. Today my card features the Garden Lane Designer Series Paper, and I must say, it is lovely!
Read MoreSometimes we all miss a birthday. Life can be hectic and we may not get a card sent or delivered in time for that special day. That doesn’t mean we can’t still send a card to let someone know we were thinking of them and hope their day was special. Here is a card for just such an occasion.
