Celebrate Today in the cloudy treetops

Celebrate Today in the cloudy treetops

This was another of the cards that we made in our January card class. Our aim at these classes is to make simple cards (we are making six in two hours after all), that still look exceptional and professional. We'll have different stamp sets featuring in our February...

Best Day Ever Tag card – Best Day Ever bundle

Best Day Ever Tag card – Best Day Ever bundle

Now I know how it is, with so much choice on offer with the main catalogue and the Spring/Summer catalogue it can be really difficult to decide what to get, so that you can qualify for a Sale-a-bration freebie. So each week from now until the end of Sale-a-bration,...

Something Borrowed Get Well

Something Borrowed Get Well

A couple of my crafting friends have had to have operations recently and so I sent them Get Well cards to let them know I'm thinking of them. Usually I choose bright colours for Get Well's but I'm loving the soft, delicate look of the new Something Borrowed suite so I...

Woodgrain Berry Basket

Woodgrain Berry Basket

The Berry Basket Bigz die was one of the top picks on my wish list when I saw the new Spring/Summer catty. It's really cute and a little bigger than I expected (each side is 4" wide). I'll definitely be using this for my Easter baskets 🙂 Stampin' Up! have put...

Hearts Border Valentine

Hearts Border Valentine

Yesterday I shared how the Stacked With Love DSP can be used for occasions other than valentine's. As Valentine's Day is only four weeks today, I have used the same DSP to create a valentine's card. The idea for creating the square hearts border isn't an original - I...

Simply Wonderful meets Stacked With love

Simply Wonderful meets Stacked With love

This card combines the Stacked With Love DSP and the FREE Sale-a-bration stamp set, Simply Wonderful. What I "love" about the DSP stack is that the papers are coloured (Real Red, Calypso Coral, Crisp Cantaloupe) on one side and are all black and white on the other....

Celebrate Today simply stamped

Celebrate Today simply stamped

Today's card uses the new Celebrate Today set from the Spring/Summer catty. This set also has matching framelits to help you cut out certain stamps from the set, but here we used only the stamp set. This is just one of six simple cards we made at our January Card...
