Hello and welcome to my blog. Have you heard of swapping? It's something Stampin Up demonstrators do to share ideas and inspiration with each other! It's great fun to take part, to give and receive. We generally do it in groups for events or the launch of a catalogue. Here's how it works - Make a card, replicate it for however many participants there are and give or send them out. Together with the recipe of how to make it. This time I am swapping with my team for the July to December Mini ... VIEW POST
Swapping With My Team
Be Cool, Be Chill, Be Merry!
Be Cool, Be Chill, Be Merry! Hello and welcome to my blog. I need no excuse to show off the playful Penguins from the Penguin Place Bundle and the Penguin Playmates Designer Series Papers. Be Cool, Be Chill, Be Merry! How cute are these guys?! So fun. This is one of the cards I made for my class last week. The stamp set has great images including the snow slopes for your penguins to slide down. It has both Christmas and birthday sentiments too. Lots of images to create really cool ... VIEW POST

Gnome For The Holidays!
Just how cute are these Christmas gnomes! I just love these fellas. So Christmassy aren't they? They are from the Gnome for the Holidays! stamp set. Which is your favourite Gnome? These cards are so fun, quick and easy to create. Simply stamp onto Whisper White card and colour in with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. Use a card layer in a Christmassy colour such as Cherry Cobbler and use the Whisper White Notecards And Envelopes pack for your card bases and envelopes. So much fun to create! ... VIEW POST
Trimming The Town
Just how cute is the Trimming The Town paper?! It's part of the Trimming The Town Suite. The Dies in the bundle cut out the houses, trees, and wreaths from the papers as well as the stamped images from the stamp set. I love it! It's perfect for a card kit I sent out to all my team members for our meet up. Trimming The Town I scheduled our team meet up for last night, just in time for World Card Making Day. Getting Happy Mail through the post is the best feeling isn't it? I love having a ... VIEW POST
Christmas Craft Retreat Day - Joy To The World I can't believe it's been almost a week since I held my all day Christmas Craft Event. There was a flurry of excitement and preparation in the run up to it, cutting card bases, layers and elements all ready to go in the kits. You can see all the Christmassy colours in the off cuts! Many, many copper foil Baubles were cut. I am so blessed to have had one of my team running the day with me. ... VIEW POST

Thankful at Coffee and Cards
After so many Christmas Cards we have been making Thank You cards at Coffee and Cards this week. So useful to have on hand at Christmas time. The new Stampin Blends Alcohol Markers pair perfectly with the Birthday Blooms stamps. The flower is stamped in Memento Black Ink and then simply coloured in. The blends make it easy to create shading and depth. The ladies did a beautiful job with these cards. Did you spot the Piggies? I brought them along for a little fun too. The ... VIEW POST
Coffee and Cards with Snowflake Sentiments
Yey for Mondays!. I know Mondays is often a drag yourself out of bed and groan day for lots of us but I have something lovely planned into my Monday mornings. This is the card we made at Coffee and Cards today. Just a few weeks left until Christmas so it is lovely to get a few beautiful hand made cards done and ready to post. I hold Coffee and Cards in a delightful community coffee shop called More+, locally to where my son goes to school. Every Monday 10 - 12 (except Bank ... VIEW POST
