Hi there What a beautiful day it’s been after the wild weekend weather. Hopefully it stays around for a bit longer 🙂 I need to send some ‘thank you’ cards out this week so yesterday I sat down and got creative. I find my craft time very relaxing which I’m in need of at the… Read More »
Hi there Just a quick post tonight as I’m trying to finish off some work birthday gifts and get some baking iced before heading to bed for an early night. One of the ladies at work left a couple of weeks ago to take up a new role in Singapore and of course I had… Read More »

Hi there At Stamp Camp we used the Note Card and Envelope (see page 162 of Annual Catalogue) so I thought I’d create something with them myself. It’s slightly smaller than a normal sized card but great for a quick ‘thank you’ card. I embossed a piece of Whisper White then adhered some Sweet Sorbet… Read More »
Hi there This is the last project to showcase from Stamp Camp. This one uses the set So Very Grateful and the watercolouring technique.
