Introducing the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar, a brand-new calendar full of products you can craft with all year long! Every day of this calendar contains never-before-seen items you won’t find in any of our catalogues or in our online store, so make sure to buy one before they’re all gone. And did we mention that these make the perfect gifts for that friend in your life who loves to craft? After all, there’s nothing better than giving the gift of crafting!
Recently on my Facebook Live I created 3 cards using the Thankful Garden bundle from the Online Exclusives products. Thankful Garden by Stampin’ Up! is a delightful bundle that you will want to have in your crafting collection.
This suite of products are just gorgeous and I know you will love creating with them. The suite includes a set of masks that you can use to colour in the flowers using a blending brush and your choice of colours.
The Lovely Garden Suite Collection includes the Thankful Garden Bundle, the masks, pack of Designer Series Paper, a roll of ribbon and a pack of embellishments. Let the Lovely Garden Suite Collection bring a variety of lovely floral detail to all your paper crafts. Turn the high-contrast flower or patterned paper into a card layer or scrapbook background and pair it with stamped and die-cut greenery. Create a unique floral feature using the decorative masks and stamped flowers. And don’t forget to finish off your crafts with some beautiful ribbon and embellishments! With a soft colour palette and striking detail, this suite collection is perfect for springtime, shower, and all-occasion cards, tags, and more.
I always create two videos. One is the Facebook Live long version and then I create a very quick video of my live sped up and take out all the chatting.
If you’d like to see more projects that I have created with blending brushes, check out this post.

Back November was my nieces 18th Birthday and my Sister in Law asked me to make her an 18th Birthday card rather than buying one from the shops. She hadn’t found anything that she liked. She requested something pretty with 18 on it. I chose to use the Encircled in Nature Stamps & Dies.
I love how the vine circles the 18 and I layered the flowers over the top. Popped the DSP up on dimensionals to give the 18 a place to sit.
If you’ve been reading my blog you will have noticed that I’ve been rather quiet of late. Life, unfortunately, has just got in the way and my blog was the last on the list. I used this bundle in this post. Hopefully I will get back to blogging again on a more regular basis.

At the recent Stamp Camp by Marelle, there were 10 shoeboxes to do if we chose to. I completed all 10 boxes and here is one using the Spotlight on Nature stamp set and coordinating dies.
We used the thoughtful Designs specialty Designer Series Paper. I love this paper and there are so many different colour options if you use this paper. We coloured in the flowers and butterfly using blends. And then added some pearls to the card.

Create handmade cards for saying thanks, sending love, expressing sympathy, or just saying miss you! The Regal Flora Stamp Set has sentiments for all of these occasions along with beautiful floral and greenery images. These stamps have a special texture that makes it look like you watercoloured them by hand, but all you need to do is stamp once. You’ll love the effect!
This is a Distinktive stamp set; it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images.
I created these cards using the Regal Flora stamp set and use the 4 Square technique. This technique is so much fun to create with .
Here is my quick video to watch how I created the cards. There is also a longer video with more instructions.

Spruce up your Christmas cards with the Festive Words Stamp Set! This stamp set features classic Christmas images—a Christmas tree, stocking, hat, and gift—in a sophisticated open line-art style. Colour with your favourite colouring technique or add some shine with metallic embossing powder.
While I was away at my upline Marelle’s stamp camp, I took along the Festive Words stamp set to have a play with. When I first saw it in the catalogue I thought it would be an easy set to create with. Boy was I wrong. I really struggled to make anything to start with. I finally saw a layout that Marelle had used and thought I’d use the same layout and create with this stamp set. Well lo and behold these cards came out. I created a video last month using the same stamp set and here are the results.
