Random Card Making
I’m going to add some cards I’ve made in the past few months – I’ll add the description under each photo so click on them to enlarge and read about each. There are a variety of techniques involved although nothing that needs a lot of explanation. These are for quite a few different...
Telescoping Card
I recently found this idea for a card design and love the idea of it. I came across it at Donna’s Designs with a link to Hetty’s blog where there’s a video tutorial. This is actually Barb‘s video so that’s the place you should go to see the tutorial. The card shown is...
Random Card Making
Here is a random selection of cards I’ve made recently, most don’t need a great deal of explanation but I’ve added a few words which you’ll see when you click a photo. If there is anything you’d like clarification on then please don’t hesitate to contact me. This...
Anniversary Card
I made this card for my Brother- and Sister-in-Law last week – I’m rather partial to using these Nesties for such a card and love the way they stack. I used heavy-weight watercolour paper throughout and distress inks to add the colour. The background layer has the dictionary definition of Love...
Rubber Band Emboss
I re-visited a technique I’d tried years ago when I saw Gina K show it in this video. It’s easy and yet beautifully effective and I’m thrilled with the result. If you don’t already do so then I suggest you subscribe to StampTV, there are new videos, techniques and challenges...
Mardi Gras Card
Over on Michael Strong’s Blog he explained how to make his Mardi Gras card. My sample uses the same basic technique but has ended up very different. I’ll explain what I did in each photo although I must apologise in advance – the silver embossing and stripes made it very reflective so a...
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...
Queen of Hearts
Over at Quietfire Designs there’s the 2nd Annual Queen of Hearts Challenge going on. I thought this would be easy but found it wasn’t really – everything I had in mind didn’t look quite right when I tried it! Oh well, I did manage to put a card together and I’m sure I’ll...
Project Book
We had been asked if we fancied a year-long project at Stamp Club and after everyone agreed they’d like that we were commissioned to make some sort of record of each technique we learned throughout the 11 months of the club year. We could make or buy the book itself so I used an album I’d...
Blog Hop
Well, this is my very first Blog Hop and I just hope I am doing everything correctly. The theme is weddings/valentines using Michael Strong stamps – the biggest problem I have is that I don’t have his lovely heart shaped stamp so I’ve had to work around that slight hiccup! I was bought...
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...
Michael Strong Stamps
As a Christmas Gift, Nigel bought me some Michael Strong Stamps taking advantage of the free postage he was offering for a few weeks. I have admired these for a long time so jumped at the chance to get some at last. Most of Michael’s stamps are this Cloisonné style and his site has some great...
