Blue Christmas Star card

Blue Christmas Star card

Today's card is an adapted case (Copy And Share Everything) of one that I saw on Pinterest by the talented Teneale Williams. This was Teneale's card: I decided to make it blue and silver and change it to landscape but then the right edge looked empty (maybe because I...

Tour swaps on show

I mentioned that we did some swapping at the Sale-a-bation tour on Thursday night and I shared the swaps that I made for others here. These were the lovely swaps I got in return. There are some great ideas here. I was really impressed with the quality. Thank you to...

Kinda Eclectic November thank you’s

This has been/still is my thank you card to customers in November. It uses the Kinda Eclectic stamp set that I got free at convention and adds Label Something as the sentiment. The card base is a small square of Smoky Slate, matted with Blushing Bride. Using Blushing...

Convention swaps – swap three

Convention swaps – swap three

I loved the Blackberry Bliss and Gold combo I used for a recent class so much that I reused it for one of my convention swaps - I can see this combo coming back again and again - it's just so lush. And as I was using the die cut Noel on my other card, I took a couple...

Convention swaps – swap two

Convention swaps – swap two

I'm back today with another of the swaps that I made for convention this year. This one was a pretty involved one with a fancy fold card and plenty of stamping and die-cutting. The spring card base (it springs up and stands on its own) is Crumb Cake, matted and...
