This is another little post it note holder that I made. Very easy to make.


I love the 'Fabulous Flowers' stamp set I use it all the time. I used the large flower stamped in one colour then stamped over it with a darker colour using a stamp from the 'Baroque Motifs' set. Finally I used the dazzling diamonds over the top of the whole thing.


This is a colour combination a probably wouldn't normally choose. I have used paper from the Bali Breeze range which I love. Unfortunately it's no longer available :(

I love the 'Pick a petal' stamp set. I have used it for the flower on this card. I used 'Fabulous flowers' for the words. I used my aqua pen to blend the colour in the petals and also for the stem of the flower.


Sorry the photo is a bit blurry. I made this for my brother's birthday using the 'For Father' stamp set. I find it hard making cards for males!


This is a card I made for my Nan's birthday. I love using the background stamp. I have used french script. I have coloured the flower using the stampin up pastels (chalks).


I made the chocolate chip one as a party invitation for my daughters chocolate party. Inside ther is a little cellophane bag filled with m & m's. It was a real hit with my daughters friends!

I really like this card. It was really easy to make and is good for something a bit different. It is just a square folded. I have used a stamp from the 'Baroque Motifs' set and embossed using gold for the little tag at the front.



I have stamped the background of this card with a stamp from the 'Baroque Motifs' stamp set using white ink. The butterfly was really easy to make...just a couple of folds!


This is another post it note holder. Really quick and easy to make. Makes a nice gift too.


This is a faux marbling technique that I did at a workshop. It was really easy to do. You use a couple of different coloured inks and rubbing alcohol. It does sometimes take a while to dry though.

There are so many great new stamp sets available I don't even know where to start!

Enjoy!


This is a cute little book that a friend showed me how to make just using one piece of 12x12 paper. I then used a second piece of patterned paper and some cardstock to decorate it and make little tags to go through it. It was really easy to make. I was really happy with the result.


I really enjoy colouring stamps. For the bunny card I have used the blender pens with an ink pad. For the one with the truck I have used the stampin pastels (chalks). I love using the chalks because they are so versatile. In this card I have just used them with a cotton bud. In other cards I have used them with the blender pens.


I think this is a good male's card. I like the circle bit that spins around. It was pretty simple to make too.


This is another card I did at a workshop. It is a spinner card. The large flower spins around as it moves from side to side. I have used the 'Time well spent' stamp set, which was a hostess set in last years catalogue. Another one of my favourite sets!


I made this card using one of my favourite stamp sets 'wild about you'. The kids love this set. I use it all the time, even my kids like to have a turn. I used a punch to give the effect of a film strip. I think it looks quite effective.
