A gem of a card for a Mojo Monday challenge

A gem of a card for a Mojo Monday challenge

Today's card is for another Mojo Monday challenge and the sketch this week is this one: I'm still playing with some of my free papers and so I decided to make the large "circle" in the sketch, into a large flower that matched my paper. Recipe Stamp sets: You're a Gem...

Yin and Yang Post-it Holder

Yin and Yang Post-it Holder

Do you recognise which set today's stamp comes from? They're actually the same single stamp (stamped twice) from the Spiced Paisley set and I'd had in mind that it would be fun to turn it into a yin and yang symbol from the first time I saw the set. Finally I've got...

Tip – using a single builder wheel

Tip – using a single builder wheel

The Stampin' Up! Builder Wheels are great for a quick card with multiple designs - you can get up to 3 wheels on one spindle! But sometimes I just want to use the one design. And if you only use one builder wheel on the spindle, then it can feel a bit wobbly to use....

A new season and a new offer

A new season and a new offer

I'm up early this morning (well, for a Sunday anyway and after a late night placing my pre-order for goodies from the next Mini Catty, Yay!) to share the latest great offer from Stampin' Up! just as soon as I could. Sale-a-bration may be over for another year now  But...
