  • November Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #60

    Welcome to our November Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #60. You may have joined me from Marelle’ Blog or you may be starting right here with me. Either way, welcome to our blog hop for this month. I hope this hop inspires you to get into your craft room and get creating.

    This months challenge is a layout Challenge. Layout challenges can be quite easy as you already have a layout to work from and you only need to choose the stamps, papers and colours.

    I went with some products from the Online Exclusives list. I played with these products on Friday on my facebook live.

    I created a gift card holder to get ready for Christmas as it is coming up so very quickly now.

    What do you think of my card? Have I inspired you to get creating with this stamp set?

  • Horse & Sleigh Bundle

    I am sharing the One Horse Open Sleigh suite of products which can be found online at my store in the Online Exclusives.

    It took a bit for me to warm up to this suite. Do you ever have products that don’t initially grab you but then once you see someone using the products you then have to buy them? Well that is this suite for me.

    These cards were designed by Ronda Wade. I have changed up the sizing to fit our card stock. The designs are just gorgeous so of course I had to create them.

    I created these on my Friday Facebook live and so here is my quick video that you can watch and if you’d like to some more details and instructions you can watch my longer video.

  • Stars at Night Bundle

    Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing with you the Stars at Night Bundle from Stampin’ Up! In my projects I only used two colours, Lost Lagoon & Moody Mauve. These colours are gorgeous. How could you go past either of them?

    Stars at Night Bundle is one of those sets that you just have to have in your collection of crafts supplies.

    This bundle is absolutely stunning! Within the bundle is a hybrid Embossing folder which includes the dies as well. With a hybrid you can emboss and cut at the same time. However I have just used the embossing folder as it is gorgeous as you’ll see in my video below. This is my short video but you can also check out my longer video with all the instructions on my youtube channel.

    October Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop

    This months challenge is a colour Challenge. It was quite challenging to use these colours but when I did see them I just thought of Halloween.

    I used the It’s a Science stamp set which I thought lended its self quite well to halloween. I coloured in the white herringbone ribbon with my old olive blends. Adding the exposed brick embossing folder in the background is awesome and goes so well with the theme.

    What do you think of my card? Have I inspired you to get creating with this stampset?

  • September Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #58

    Welcome to our September Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #58. You may have joined me from Melissa’s blog or you may be starting right here with me. Either way, welcome to our blog hop for this month. I hope this hop inspires you to get into your craft room and get creating.

    This month’s blog hop is a layout challenge. This was a fairly easy challenge and I used the Beary Cute Memories & More Cards with the coordinating Cards & Envelopes. It turned the Card inside out so that the white was on the outside as I felt the card front didn’t need any more blue behind it.

    I used Real Red ink on the Sentiment with the Beary Cute Merry Christmas sentiment. This was very simple as I let the Memories & More cards do all the work for me in the background. I used my papersnips to create a banner on the end and then popped the sentiment up on dimensionals. And that is it. A simple Christmas card ready to send out.

  • Countryside Inn

    Countryside Inn suite

    A couple of months ago I went away with a few members of my team. We had a fabulous time crafting and chatting. If you’d like to enjoy some time away to craft, chat and catch up with other like minded people, then consider joining my team. We have a fabulous time and laugh so much. It is just an amazing group and would love to have you join us.

    While we were away I got to creating some upcoming classes and used the Countryside Inn Suite.

    The Countryside Inn suite is just divine. I used this suite for another set of cards that I shared with you all on my Facebook live and have uploaded to youtube a well.
