Crate Paper - Little Sprout Collection

The tree and the mushroom are from the Crate Paper little sprout collection. The card in Old Olive ( Stampin' Up) and the Paper at the bottom is Basic Grey.

Bashful Blue Thank you card

I have been experimenting with my camera. I have found I have not been able to take a good photo without daylight. These were taken this evening... I think a bit more playing with the settings and I will be there.

Twitter Card Sizzix and Stampin' Up

The bird is a sizzix die. When I showed the card to my other half he asked why I had made a card with the Twitter bird on it... I can see what he means!

Stampin' Up Medallion Stamp card

I stamped the large background medallion stamp in whisper white ink onto chocolate chip card stock and cut out the centre and placed a brad in the middle. I used the 1" circle punch and punched it out of the other bit!

Hug me card

Just a simple card. I love the chocolate chip and the pixie pink together.

Stampin' Up mini album

There is a very sad story behind this little album. I took photos of it before I stuck my pictures in and then I was going to take pictures again after I had completed it by adding the photos and the journalling. Well I did complete it BUT I found it on the drive this morning, it had dropped out of the book it was in and must have been ther all night in the pouring rain. I made a few observations from this accident. I discovered that Stampin' Up Whisper white ink does not run, that the kraft card stock dries to a lovely rough texture when dried out on a radiator and the Stampin' Up Snail Adhesive still sticks even after it has been soaked!

Stampin' Up Card Solitude hostess Bundle

A slight variation on the previous two days, a normal gate fold card. I scalloped the edges and the made them meet in the middle with Tempting turquoise card stock. I used the standard index wheel from the hostess Solitude Bundle and ran it down either side using whisper white ink, the little bird also came from the same set.

Stampin'Up Card - Polka Dot

Another card with the same design as yesterday but a differnt colour scheme. This time I used colours from the Bold Bright colour family ( YoYo Yellow and Real Red) I Stamped the front of the card with the background stamp Polka Dot in Whisper white ink. The Stamps come from the set Tart and Tangy. The ribbon is the Real Red 1/2" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon.

Stampin Up folding Card

I used a 12" x 16" piece of Stampin' Up kraft card stock. It was then scored at 4" intervals and half of the end two squares were cut away. I used the jumbo wheel so swirly and covered the card-stock with it using old olive ink. The mat colours are Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. I then threaded 40cm of ribbon through so the card could  be closed

Stampin' Up Round Tab Punch

I have just made this video demonstrating how to get the most out of the Stampin Up round tag punch.

Stampin' Up Post it note holder

I saw this idea somewhere on the internet and I thought I would give it a go.

France 2007 scrapbook page

CLICK ON THE PICTURES TO MAKE THEM BIGGER.I enjoyed making this layout. The frame is the outside of a game where the bits had to be punched out. I gave it a few licks of paint and doodled over it. I really dislike my handwriting so I chose to hide the journalling behind the frame The paper is from a Stampin' Up paper pack.

Altered bird house

A while back I altered a bird house and it was kind of a vintage style. This time round I went for the modern girly look.

Large Tag Cards

These are large chipboard tags that I have had kicking around for over a year, I finally got round to decorating them.

Thank You Card

It has been a while!! I got a whole load of great Stampin' Up goodies for Christmas, it has given me a new lease of life. I cut out the Background (old book) using the Album Brackets from Sizzix.... Still waiting for Stampin' up to sort themselves out and bring in the top note die in the UK!!!. Inked the edges using walnut stain distress ink, painted a bit of white gesso over the whole thing and stamped the Medallion stamp (again with the walnut stain distress ink). I then stamped the sentiment using Ruby Red ink from Stampin' up ( stamp came from the Say it with scallops set) and used the square scallop to punch it out. Stuck it to a 5x5 cream card, tied a big red satin knot and it was done!!!

Paper punched Robin/bird

I made these using paper punches. To see how I made them take a look at my You tube video.
