Hi there I’ve really enjoyed using the Waterfront stamp set this month. I’ve managed to get four different looks with this set – you’d have to say its a versatile set. In my last post I used the images to create a beach scene and today I’m creating a mountain scene. It’s Father’s Day here… Read More »
Hi there Carrying on with the Waterfront stamp here’s another creation with a lovely island theme. My boss had a big birthday yesterday and is currently on holiday in the islands so what better set to use for a special card. While I was creating this card I also did a ‘Father’s Day’ option. I’ve… Read More »
Hi there Today’s cards feature two sets that work well together to create masculine cards – A Good Man and Waterfront. To create these cards I stamped the image of the man first in Memento Black then created a mask to cover his legs and lower part of the chair. With the mask applied I… Read More »
Hi there There are two types of cards I struggle with creating – masculine and sympathy cards. Well I think I have found a stamp set that covers both – the Waterfront stamp set from page 125 of the Annual Catalogue. The images in this set can be used to create a mountain, lake or… Read More »

Hi there I didn’t realise it was that long since I’d done a post – so to make up I’ll share three posts over the next three days. While my friend was travelling overseas a couple of months ago she lent me her Free As A Bird stamp set – so I stamped the main… Read More »
Hi there There seems to have been something in the water at work – 5 of my colleagues have become parents (either for the first time or again). So far we’ve had 2 boys and 3 girls with one more arrival due in the next couple of months. After seeing a card made by my… Read More »
Hi there Back in April we had our ‘Demonstrator Only’ event (OnStage) where we got to see new products and the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue before they were released. As part of our ‘goodie bag’ we received the lovely stamp set Daisy Lane. This set can be purchased on it’s own or as a bundle with… Read More »
Hi there My project today is a card we made at a recent team training and uses products from the new Woven Threads Suite (pages 12-14 Annual Catalogue). I don’t have this suite so it was great to create a card and be able to share it with you. This suite consists of a stamp… Read More »
Hi there At our OnStage event back in April Stampin’ Up! gave us each a pack of the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper as an ‘all attendee’ giveaway. Now this paper was not high on my wish list but I thought I’d cut into it and get creating. I teamed it with one of… Read More »
