18th Birthday Card

Posted on March 21, 2025 by sharon

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.

Create handmade cards for saying thanks, sending love, expressing sympathy, or just saying miss you!

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 .

June Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #43

Posted on June 14, 2022 by sharon

Welcome to our June Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #43. You may have joined me from for are you starting right here? Either way, welcome. There are 7 of us hopping along this month so you’re in for a great hop.

This months Blog Hop is a layout challenge. I had plans in my head about what I wanted to use and had an image of what I expected the card to look like, however it turned out differently to what was in my mind. When I first starting thinking about the layout I wanted to use the “He’s the Man” Suite of products. I am loving the papers, stamps and dies of this suite. A great suite for those men in your lives.

I chose to use Sahara Sand, Soft Succulent & Early Espresso card stock and stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink so that I could emboss the sentiment in White embossing powder.

Daffodil Daydream by Stampin’ Up!

Posted on April 20, 2022 by sharon

The Project I’m sharing with you today is using the stamp set Daffodil Daydream by Stampin’ Up! I created this card because of a colour challenge at a Stamp Camp back in February. The colours I needed to use was Shaded Spruce, Melon Mambo & Crumb Cake.

I chose to use the stamp set Daffodil Daydream by Stampin’ Up! and used my blends to colour in the daffodils. Not the traditional colour but I love the cards.

At the stamp camp I decided to record a number of the cards that I made including some shoeboxes and I’ll continue to share these with you over the coming weeks. You can see some I’ve already shared here.

Don’t forget there is still the Last Chance Products list still on so you can grab yourself a bargain before all the products are gone for good.

Mischievous Mice Host Stamp Set

Posted on January 19, 2022 by sharon

On my Facebook Live on Friday I used the Mischievous Mice Host Stamp Set to create a birthday card. This is a host set that you can earn with a minimum order of $250. It is a super cute stamp set that you will love to use. I coloured in the sweet little mouse using Smoky Slate and Calypso Coral Blends and then add some Pool Party blends on the “ground” at his little feet.

The design for this card came from the January to June Mini Catalogue. I loved the layout so much that I decided to case the catalogue but added my own touch to the card.

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 🙂
