Hi there Warning – this is a longer than usual post.

Hi there A couple of weekends ago we had a team training day and made five projects with new products – it was a fun, relaxed day and so good to finally be able to meet together. The first project we made uses products from the World Of Good Suite – pages 24-26. I don’t… Read More: World of Good – Trifold Card & Envelope »

We were meant to have had a Stampin’ Up! event at the beginning of May but due to COVID-19 that got cancelled – so Stampin’ Up! created a Facebook group for all NZ based demos so that… Read More: Double Wonder Cards using Country Club DSP »
Hi there Happy Birthday to Phil (and me). We’ve had a lovely day – a mix of work and a lunch out to celebrate. I left making his card to the last minute as my preorder of new product from the upcoming annual catalogue got held up with eveyone elses purchases :). So here’s a… Read More: A Good Man – that’s my man »

So that’s what we did… Read More: Country Club DSP Shirt Cards »

The shirt… Read More: Tropical Oasis DSP Shirt »

Hi there When I make cards I normally only make one of each design but I know a lot of crafters make a couple of each design while they’ve got everything out. Well for my work birthday cards I’ve decided to make two at a time – same design but different colours. My ‘off cuts’… Read More: Happy Birthday – work birthday cards »

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: A Good Man and Waterfront – Masculine Card Combination »
Hi there Earlier this month my brother celebrated his birthday. I used our new line art stamp set ‘A Good Man’ along with the ‘Birch’ background stamp. Line art images are great as you can get so many different ‘colouring’ looks from the one set. For this card I’ve used our Stampin’ Blends which are… Read More: A Good Man – and not just a stamp »
