Sometimes I like to try and meet a challenge that has been set on a cardmaking or scrapbooking blog. Today I met the challenge set on http://daringcardmakers.blogspot.com/. I followed the recipe given and here is the card that I made. Photographing it at night hasn’t done it justice. The colours look a lot better [...]

I Love My Oval Punch!
As a demonstrator, I have been able to buy items from the Mini Catalogue before April. And I can now say that I am completely in love with the oval punches! They are so easy to use, and the oval punch stamps are such a perfect fit. I love it when everything is so well planned! [...]

Giraffe Card
I’m still in love with the Wild About You stamp set. It’s so perfect for cards for little boys! And I love the Jumbo Wheels as well. They’re so easy to use – even my 3 year old can use it – and he loves them! I used … Certainly Celery card stock (110012) Bashful [...]

A bit of Chipboard and More Turquoise …
I used a chipboard circle to make a border for the sentiment on a birthday card today, and I couldn’t help reaching for Tempting Turquoise again! I coloured the chipboard by pressing an ink pad onto it and it looks really good – much better than leaving it bare. Don’t forget – all chipboard is [...]

Thank You card
I wanted to make a little Thank You card for someone and decided to use the cute little bird from Fun and Fast Notes. The sentiment on the stamp wasn’t quite right for the reason I was sending it, so I just wiped off the ink from the last part before I printed onto the card [...]

Card for a Teenage Boy
I’ve always found making cards for teenage boys so hard! Today I used the star from Fun and Fast Notes, and cut off the ‘congratulations’ sentiment. I used Stampin’ Pastels to colour it. I made a couple of other cards using Fun and Fast Notes as well, which I’ll share over the next few days. [...]

Quick card
I needed to make a very quick card to accept an invitation to a child’s party. What better than the little birdie from Best Wishes and More! I used the Poppin’ Pastels technique for this. I stamped with a VersaMark pad and then used cotton wool to dab on colours from Stampin’ Pastels. I used [...]
