Using your scrap DSP ...

Using your Scrap DSP 


After making my card with the Party Hats on it from the beautiful Broadway Bound DSP (146277)
I had a strip of card with one row of Party hats on it .... and lets face it none of us likes to waste our gorgeous papers do we .... so I used the GORGEOUS new Embossing folder "Tufted Dynamics" (146335)  ..... OH MY WORD its so so gorgeous .... and so quick to turn a simple card into something just that little bit more special ....



It was a bit hard to get the lighting right so you could see the embossed part of the card  ...


  SO I embossed a piece of Basic Black Card stock using this embossing folder then stuck the strip of Party hats across the middle and using the Celebrate You dies cut out the CELEBRATE and the YOU from Whisper White card stock (3 of each ) and glued them together and stuck them to my embossed piece of card above and below the strip of hats  ..... and Bob's your uncle .... its done ...

What are you Loving ?

I am so in love with so many things from this years Seasonal Catalogue  .....


I just can't pick only one items .... so over the next few weeks I will be trying to use EVERYTHING I love .....  

This Card was made using the Broadway Bound DSP ..... This has to be one of my favourite papers this year ....  And look how simple it is to make a quick and stunning card in next to no time ....

Simply cut your A4 card into half Portrait style (10.5 cm) and score at 14.9cm's then its a simple case of cutting your 12 x 12 sheet of chosen DSP to 9.3cm x 14.6cm ...

Using the Fine tip glue pen (138309) I traced over the black tassel tops of the Party Hats then sprinkled on some Stampin'  Glitter  Dazzling Diamonds (133751) to give it a bit of sparkle ... 

I then cut out the CELEBRATE word from the Celebrate You thinly dies (146840) THREE times in Basic Black Card stock (121688) and glued them together to make a thick topper  and using my Tombow glue (110755) I adhered to to my card.

Beer Bottle


Hey everyone ..... how are you all .... 
I was asked to make a Alcohol themed card for someones Sons 21st ....  I had wanted to do one of my mini Dioramas but it was working out WAY WAY too expensive so had to rethink what i was going to make ...

BEER BOTTLE .... of course  .....  I had just received a delivery from Stampin' Up! with some of the GORGEOUS Champagne Foil Card ...144748   

So here it is .....


I also used Blueberry Bushel card stock ....146991 and Pineapple Punch Card Stock .... 146994
I printed out the wording then cut it out using punches and dies .... then using a Gold pen I edged the edges of the Blueberry Bushel card ....   The Champagne card stock is just so so gorgeous 

I then made a little box to go with it ... just to make it look a little more special ...

Sympathy Card

Most of us as Card makers hate when we have to make a Sympathy card ... it needs to be respectful and hopefully bring a little comfort to the recipient .... 

I recently found out that a distant cousins husband had died and needed to make her a sympathy card .... I decided i didn't want a very somber looking card but something that brought a little bit of warmth .   It's hard to explain exactly what I mean....    Any way i came up with this very simple  design, but was unsure about the colouring;  so I posted it in a couple of very select card making groups I am in on Facebook to get some thoughts on how they thought the colour was .

I really did get some lovely comments from everyone and they all thought the colour was perfect as it was sedate but not too somber and that it comes across as a warm and loving colour/card.    So I feel much happier now... 

Sometimes we just need that bit of support when making a difficult card and I feel lucky to be apart of the groups I am in..    THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO COMMENTED AND PUT MY MIND AT EASE IN SENDING THE CARD OUT .     You are all appreciated

Stamp a Stack Craft Day 

Hey every one ... It's been a while since I last posted .... 

I held a Craft day last weekend and it was such a fun day .... the aim was for everyone to make 24 cards with their kit ..... well I am not sure anyone actually did make all the cards but the ladies defiantly had a lot of fun ... and there was soooo much left in their kits that they had loads left over to make more cards when they got home ....
Here are some of the cards they got to make ..... these are only the ones that i designed,  I had help from the lovely Naomi Dawn also designed some of the cards and if you go to her page you will see the other cards that the ladies got to make ..
