Happy Birthday Mari if you're reading this! I'm back with another guest designer to celebrate our family birthday today. DH made this card for Mari with only a little help from me. He took his inspiration from this card in the current Idea Book and Catalogue but...

My swap cards for the team meeting
We had our Stampin' Up! team meeting today. Lots of fun! We shared the latest updates on what's happening at Stampin' Up!, had a make and take, a demo, a card swap and shared lots of ideas and tips between us all. It was great how everyone chipped in and offered...
A guest designer with a different take
I have a guest designer with me today - my lovely neighbour Alison. I've mentioned before, that she often comes round on a Friday morning for a craft and a natter. To say that she only started with cardmaking around October last year, she's pretty whizzy at it already...
A blossom flower card using the Very Vintage wheel
I took the colour scheme for this card from the Domestic Goddess DSP. This particular sheet has a very small, subtle pattern. I also used the new die from the Mini Catalogue. It's extremely reasonably priced when you consider how many styles of flower you can create...

Recessed postage stamp to say thanks

Sent with love
Although Valentine's Day isn't so very far away, this new stamp from the Mini Catalogue can work year round to send a message of love. And it fits beautifully within our new larger Scallop Circle punch (I can't wait to try out a whole batch of projects I've got in...
Revealing a bit of bling
First of all, a big apology. Sorry to anyone who's been trying to sign up for next Saturday's Cupcake Class. Thankfully one of my lovely regulars phoned me because she was having problems booking and I found out that the Paypal button wasn't working as it should. I...
