Hi there Well this weeks sketch had me stumped for a bit. So last night I had a look through my ‘techniques’ folder to see if I could get some inspiration – it worked. I found a techique called Emerging Colour that I’d got from Paula Dobson a while ago but hadn’t had time to trial… Read More »

Well today is my dad’s birthday and tonight the family are getting together to celebrate. I recently saw a card using the technique of inlaid embossing so thought I’d give it a go. When I was cleaning my crafting desk (there was no room left to craft!) I found some cirlces left over from other projects… Read More »
Hi there I can’t believe I haven’t posted for a week! After a busy week at work I finally got round to making a card for the Try Stampin on Tuesday challenge.

Hi I have a vey special friend and I have wanted to send her a card for ages just letting her know how special she is to me. When I saw Paula Dobson’s project on U Stamp with Dawn & Friends I fell in love with it & have been wanting to trial it. Well here… Read More »
Hi there I finally got round to making a card using the colour combination from Inkspiration. I loved the autumn tones of the challenge and as I have a few male cards to do this month it worked in well. I’m a bit late though for the challenge – never mind the receiver of the card… Read More »
Hi there Well here’s my next Try Stampin On Tuesday card. I decided to use this weeks layout for a masculine card. I have three male birthdays this month so thought I’d better make a start. I used DSP for my four squares – I’m trying to use up retired papers before I buy the new ones. … Read More »
Hi there It’s that time of the week to post my card for http://trystampinontuesday.blogspot.com/. I’m really pleased with how my card turned out. For my colour combination I used ColourQ – not sure how I found this site. As I didn’t have any DSP in the colour range I made my own background with one of the… Read More »
Hi Here’s my next entry for http://trystampinontuesday.blogspot.com/. I’ve used Totally Tess this week – slowly working through the sets the don’t see much ink. It’s very easy to go to the favourites (Vintage Vogue).Here is this weeks sketch:and here is what I did: I’m really into using the markers at the moment. I haven’t done much… Read More »
Hi I always find it hard to come up with ideas for masculine cards. Last year Jacquelyn held a masculine card class and so I have used one of those ideas for some ‘boy’ cards I need for this week. I stamped the tool images on polyshrink, coloured them & then used the heat gun to… Read More »
Hi Thought I’d do a quick post before heading off to the Craft Expo. Our neighbour had her birthday last Sunday so I made her a card & little gift. For the card layout I used a sketch from Splitcoast Stampers http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/card-sketches-f41/ number SC251. For the gift I used the pillow box die & an idea… Read More »
Hi I love these Try Stampin Tuesday challenges! http://trystampinontuesday.blogspot.com/ For this weeks challenge I used a stamp set that I haven’t inked up much – Simply Said and a colour that seems to get left behind – Riding Hood Red. To give it a 3D effect I added pearls to the flowers. Here is the sketch:and here is… Read More »
I wanted to trial my new Builder Wheel that I got for Christmas and thought a masculine card would be a good start as we all seem to find these the hardest cards to make. I used two rollers and had left a gap in the middle to put the greeting. Even though I used… Read More »
