Gathering Moments Christmas

Posted on October 13, 2025 by sharon

Last week I decided to play with the Gathering Moments Stamp set like I did the week before on my Facebook Live. However this time I wanted to create some Christmas cards instead. I decided to do similar to last week creating a 4 Square project. Stamping in the shape of a cross on an A4 Card stock piece and then chopped it down from there. I then started creating with some blues as well.

What do you think? Which card do you like the best?

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.

Festive Words

Posted on October 3, 2024 by sharon

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.

What do you think?

Spotlight on Nature

Posted on August 28, 2024 by sharon

The Spotlight on Nature Stamp set is a lovely versatile set that I love. When we went to our Stampin’ Up! demonstrator event in March we had the opportunity to attend an optional class and choose from one of 3 bundles. The Spotlight on Nature Bundle is what I chose. The bundle includes the stamp set and a die set. The die set is made up of circles with varying intricacies around the edging of each die all in various sizes.

During my Facebook Live on Friday I created a set of 5 cards. I had an idea of what I was going to do for two of the cards but then the other 3 I was unsure. For two of the cards, I had pulled out an old old card kit that I had made up and used the card base and layers from that card kit.

Using minimal supplies is always great as we don’t always have EVERYTHING in our crafting stash. These cards are quite super simple, however I did use a blending brush on all the cards in some form. If you don’t already have blending brushes in your stash, you really should add them to your wish list as they are fabulous to play with and be creative with.

Share a Milkshake

Posted on February 24, 2024 by sharon

Yesterday I was playing with the Share a Milkshake Bundle on my Facebook Live. Well let me say I had a bit of a morning with Technology. I forgot turn on my microphone! 🤦‍♀️Well thankfully a dear friend commented that she couldn’t hear me. In my defence I did turn a mic on it just wasn’t the one I should have turned on.

Anyway, the show must go on as they say. So I kept going and created 3 cards. I had 5 to make but only got the three. These cards were inspired by many different people. The first one in the Fresh Fresia (top Right) was inspired by Stamp with Brian. He used Balmy blue but I chose to mix it up and do it in Fresh Fresia instead. The Designer Series Paper I used is one you can earn during Sale-a-bration and you only have about 6 days left to earn it for free. Its called Delightfully Eclectic.

The second one (the bottom card) was inspired by Amy Koenders from a year ago. I again changed up the colours and just cut the rectangles rather than using dies but I like it. And the third card (the top left) was inspired by Stampin’ Up! This card was part of the samples that their design team created. Below is my facebook Live video but you can also check out my short video on my youtube channel.
