Flippin Gardener
I have 3 sisters and one of them is a very avid gardener so, with her birthday fast approaching, I got out my LaPasche stamps and set to work. I’m re-using the backs of cards which have been sent to me (both Christmas and birthday cards) – trying to re-cycle as much as possible – and so I...
Half-Step Card
This card is based on an idea by Sheila Weaver which you can find on Joanna Sheen’s website. Sheila uses a lot of CD printables where I have used rubber stamping. The template is very cute and quite easy. I always make one out of cheap cardstock first – and keep that to work from in the future...
Anything by Tim!
The Stamp Man Challenge Blog has tempted me with their “Anything By Tim” (as in Holtz) Christmas post. I don’t have many of his stamps – in fact, only the one!, but I used it three times to make it look like more I began by pressing Distress Ink pads (Fired Brick and Peeled Paint)...
My Christmas Cards are finished
I’ve been working on them on and off for months now, determined not to get to December and start panicking. Every time we’ve had a challenge or some ‘homework’ to do at Stamp Club I have made it a Christmas Card. Every time I’ve seen a new technique I fancied trying, I...
M-I-L Christmas Collection
Well, it serves her right! My M-I-L is always telling me how much she loves the cards I make so I decided that for her Christmas present this year I’d give her a box full of cards she can use throughout the year. She is 90 years old now and it’s so very hard to find something to buy for...
That’s Odd!
Over at StampTV they’re having a Release Party Challenge which called for using odd numbers of ‘things’ on a card but more than just ‘one’. So I cut some Heirloom Ornaments out of plain card using the Spellbinder Dies and then coloured them with Copper Paint Dabber by...
Sir Stampalot Challenge
At the Sir Stampalot Challenge Blog they’re asking “let your imagination run riot and show us what you will be sending out to friends and family this Christmastime”. Well, I’ve been making loads of different Christmas Cards for the past few months but I have to say that I’m...
Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge
This sketch really appealed to me this month so I thought I’d have a go! The outline is shown below and my interpretation of it started with an ivory base card. The dress stamp is from Elusive Images Funky Fashions and I stamped it on neutral card and embossed with a lovely sparkle powder called...
Easel Card
Easel Cards seem very popular at the moment and I can quite see why. A regular card takes on a whole new aspect when they’re opened and stood in a different way to the norm. This sympathy card was made for a friend who’s recently lost her father – there’s not really anything one...
Flippin Card
Well, I totally forgot my bother-in-law’s birthday! Daft thing was, I had the idea already in mind, knew which of my new Flippin Stamps sets I was going to use etc. – just forgot to get on with it. So, in one hurried evening I made this for him. He is an avid gardener and makes his own ales...
90th Birthday Card
In August of this year it was time to celebrate a 90th birthday. My eldest sister’s mother-in-law reached this milestone and, as I’ve know Wyn for many years, I made her a special card. Stepper Cards are popular at the moment and so that’s what I did (I also showed our stamping...
Round-Robin Book 2009
Further to the “Book Exchange 2008“, we did another Round-Robin at stamp club but this time we didn’t get to chose our own themes. The titles were drawn out of a ‘hat’ and allocated to the name which had just been drawn as well. My theme was Kings and Queens and I had...
