Hi there I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing the cards so far using the Magnolia Lane Suite. Here are the final two cards in this series. I decided to mat the DSP on a piece of Mossy Meadow rather than adhere straight onto the Petal Pink card base. The floral looked fine against the Petal Pink… Read More »
Hi there Back again with another creation using the products from the Magnolia Lane Suite.

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 »

After making the first cut in the beautiful Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper I decided to do some more cutting with one of the other designs.

Hi there We’ve been having some beautiful days here in Auckland – although thankfully not as hot as in Europe – I’m not a fan of winter so to be able to see the sun and feel it’s warmth is great. One of the new suites in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue is the beautiful Magnolia… Read More »
Hi there Along with the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue we also have a new Beginners Brochure. When you are new to stamping it can seem a little overwhelming—so many products you don’t know where to start and what to purchase. So Stampin’ Up! created a brochure with products and kits designed especially for the beginner… Read More »
Hi there I made this card for my cousins 60th – from the front it just looks like an ordinary card front – but when you open it there’s a surprise inside. The butterflies are from the Butterfly Gala stamp set (which is carrying over to the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue) and have been punched out… Read More »

Hi there How many of us are Designer Series Paper (DSP) hoarders? We buy our lovely DSP but then don’t want to cut into it – well that is all changing with ‘Love It Chop It’. When we chop our DSP into card front sizes we are more likely to use it to create beautiful… Read More »
Hi there In a previous life I used to do cross stitch and for the last couple of weeks I’ve been busy trying to finish a project for my Great Niece – well it’s now finished and I can get back into my papercrafting :). In my recent desk clean-up I found some stamped images… Read More »
