Alphabet Cards 2011 Project
The project at Stamp Club this year has been to make a card to depict each letter of the alphabet. I admit that I have been a bit too preoccupied with … life and have only just started working on it. I also must admit that I am loving the challenge! The hardest thing is choosing what to do...
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...
All Creatures Great and Small
Sir Stampalot are having their February Challenge and the theme is All Creatures Great and Small and I thought I’d have a go. I firstly dug out this lovely stamp from Third Coast Rubber Stamps of a cat with wings (I can’t direct you to the exact stamp – they have thousands of them! Go...
Valentine Challenge
A Valentine card with no red or pink in sight – that was the challenge thrown down by Michael Strong this week. I’m showing my contribution here, just the one scan this time as I didn’t think about photographing each step – it’s all quite simple really. I took a piece of recycled...
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)...
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...
StampTV Challenge
Well, three challenges in one day! I have only ever entered one before, a couple of years ago – don’t know what’s come over me This one is from StampTV, perhaps it was the colour choice that appealed to me – or perhaps it was the need to make a card for my brother-in-law encouraged...
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...
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...
