Hi there I love the stamp set I Dig You and it’s great for boys cards. My friends son is turning 4 this week so out it came again. I’ve used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches to help me out. None of my circle punches were big enough to fit the image so I’ve used my… Read More »
Hi there I’m slowly getting ink to the new stamp sets I bought last month. Here are baby cards I made on behalf of work for two guys who have recently become fathers again. I used my markers to ink up the image so that I could have multiple colours on the one stamp. I… Read More »
Hi there One of the guys at work has become a dad again to a beautiful little girl. I’m so glad I bought this set when it was in the Autumn/Winter mini – it’s had a bit of ink time but will see a lot more soon as I have at least another 4 baby… Read More »
Hi there My best friend’s daughter is having her baby shower today. Unfortunately I won’t be able to attend (I’m in the US) but I have made a card and left a gift for the day. I’ve used the rattle stamp from the Button Buddies set except I didn’t want to hide the ‘rattle’ part… Read More »

I’ve just realised that today is Yellowbear Stampin’s first birthday – can you believe it. I have now been blogging for one year and my posts have certainly changed from a year ago. It only seems fitting to celebrate my first anniversary by posting a card made for the same person who had the first post… Read More »
Hi there As promised here is an amazing card I cased from the very talented Marelle Taylor. Friends of ours eldest son celebrated his 6th birthday yesterday so this design was perfect.

Hi there Todays card incorporates two challenges – a sketch from Stamping411 and a colour combo from Pals Paper Arts. I love the combo of Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy & Very Vanilla. It’s great when a card just comes together – this is such a great sketch and works well with this stamp. I’m using this stamp… Read More »
Hi there Yesterday the Creative Inkers’ held their Christmas Extravaganza. We had over 50 ladies attend and they created 5 fantastic projects. This was my first extravaganza demonstrating a project – I must admit it felt funny being on the other side of the table! We had a great time and I really enjoyed it. I have… Read More »
Hi there Well it’s a beautiful day in Auckland – it really feels like Spring has arrived. There are more and more trees now with leaves so that’s got to be a good sign. This weeks challenge over at Try Stampin on Tuesday is a good one. I’ve flipped it over so that I could trial… Read More »
Hi there Well it’s that time of the week again – a new Try Stampin on Tuesday challenge has been loaded. This weeks challenge was to have an envelope or pocket holding something on the front. I’ve gone for a sweet treats cup filled with M & M’s. Great for a birthday card. So that you… Read More »
