I can't wait for the new Stampin' up catalogue to be released on the 1st April! Check it out at www.stampinup.com


This is another card I did at a workshop. I love this effect. We used versa mark and the dazzling diamonds over the top of the stamped images.


I thought these were really cute for a tea party invite!


I really like this card. It's a pop up card and really easy to make. I have used the 'Time well spent' stamp set which was a hostess set last year...It is retiring this year also.


I made this set for a workshop. It is a little box with a matching set of cards to go inside. I used the berry bliss paper which is retiring at the end of this month :(


This is a quick and easy little bag I made at a workshop. I love the paper!

This was a pretty tricky card to make. It is a 'Jacob's ladder'. You can't see it very well in the photo but it opens in different direction. I had a lot of fun decorating this one. It was very time consuming though! (I might try and add some more photos so you can see it better)


I made this little pouch as a hostess gift. I popped a little chocolate inside. Nice as a little gift for a teacher or something.


I love this pop up card. I did it at a workshop. It looks really effective and it wasn't that hard to make!. I have used the 'Garden Whimsy' stamp sets which is one of my favs!


Again, really simple...I did the one on the left at a workshop and the had another go when I got home and added the little tag. Nice for something different and really easy!


This is another really easy card. I have used the dazzling diamonds with the heat and stick powder for the flowers. It gives a really nice effect.


This is a little post it note clip board. I really love this idea. It is so easy to make and makes a great little gift.


This is an invitation I did for my 6 year old's birthday. I have used the 'pretty princess' stamp set. I also used the spritzer tool which was a bit of fun!

This is a cool technique called 'emerging colour'. You stamp the card with a selection of stamps. You then use the large stamp with clear embossing over the top. After that you sponge over the top with the darker ink.


Another one of my favourite stamp sets 'Fishy friends'.


This is one of my favourite stamp sets 'Natural beauty'. I have coloured it in using the blender pens and stampin pastels.



For this card I have used a technique called 'chalk popping' . I stamped with versa mark and then dusted it with the stampin pastels. I have used perfect plum and pale plum cardstock.


This is a technique called 'emboss resist'. I embossed the heart stamp in clear and then sponged over it in the pink. I think it's a really nice effect.


I did this card at a workshop. I have used the french script stamp for the background and embossed it with gold. I have also embossed around the edge of the flower. I love embossing the background. I think it is very effective.


This card is made with one of my favourite colours, ballet blue. I have used the stampin pastels to colour the stamp.

This is my most recent project. It is a queen size quilt for my bed. I finished it a couple of days ago. I still have to make the matching pillowcases. I have used two charm packs, a jelly roll and a panel from the 'daydreams' fabric range.


I finished this wall hanging last year. I bought the kit from the stitches and craft show. I was quite an easy project...
Sorry but I haven't learnt how to rotate the images yet! This is a christmas wall hanging I did a couple of years ago. It has a pocket with each of the kids names on it. At christmas time you can put a gift in each pocket.


This was my first attempt at a log cabin quilt. I made it into a quillow which now lives on my lounge. I really like the colours in this one.

This is a wall hanging that I completed mostly while sitting in waiting rooms while I was pregnant with my son. I'm not too keen on the colours but it turned out ok in the end.


Not a very good photo! This was a birthday card for my Aunt. I have used a marbling technique for the back ground using rubbing alcohol which is really easy to do.


This is a card I made as a thank you for my neighbour. I have used pink passion and yoyo yellow card stock. It is coloured with the Stampin pastels and I used tearing around the edges.
