Thankful Garden

Posted on April 28, 2025 by sharon

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.

Hannah Turns 12 in Lockdown

Posted on September 10, 2021 by sharon

My youngest daughter Hannah turns 12 in Lockdown today. We live in Sydney Australia and we have been in lockdown since the end of June and we are now at week 11 and there looks like there will be another 8 weeks at least.

But as Hannah turns 12 and we are in lockdown I wanted to celebrate her as much as we can at this time. So I made her this card as she is a huge fan of Harry Potter. She has read all the books and her favourite house is Hufflepuff which is why the card is the colours that they are. The majority of her gifts are Harry Potter related so I hope she is going to be super excited with them.

I used the Suit & Tie dies and the Playful Alphabet dies from Stampin’ Up! And then used the Biggest Wish stamp set for the sentiment inside. I did make a smudge on the collar but hopefully it just adds to the look of the card and highschool 🙂

Floating & Fluttering Bundle

Posted on January 19, 2021 by sharon

The Floating & Fluttering Bundle is such a gorgeous set of products that you would love to play with it. I started by stamping the butterflies in the corresponding colour on a piece of Basic White Card. Then I stamped the butterflies in Tuxedo Black ink on a scrap piece of Basic White. After stamping the butterflies in tuxedo black on some scrap paper and then using the blending brushes I coloured in butterflies with each colour. Using the Stampin Cut and Emboss machine and the Fluttering Dies to cut out the butterflies. I then hand cut the butterflies from each other so I could pop them up on dimensionals like their popping off the page. Using the Tailored Tag Punch I layered the sentiment onto black. I had to cut the white card down slightly so that I would have a slim border of black around the outside of it.

Using the current in colours that will be retiring in June I wanted to share how lovely they are. I love the simplicity of colours on the card, only White, Black and the In color.

Flowers for Every Season OSW

Posted on January 15, 2021 by sharon

Today’s cards that I want to share with you are again from the Flowers for Every Season OSW (One Sheet Wonder) like these cards from my post on the 8th January. I used a very very different sheet of the 6×6 dsp but I can assure you it is from the exact same pack. Again this One Sheet Wonder is originally from a fellow Aussie Demo Kelly Kent in WA.

I hope you’ll forgive me as I did send one of the cards to a dear friend so I don’t have all 4 cards. This One Sheet Wonder does really make the designer paper the centre of attention.

If you’d like to see more of the One Sheet Wonder cards that I have made you can see some here. Tropical Oasis, Using up DSP and I created my own DSP in this post. I would love to see some of your creations using a One sheet wonder template.
