I have a pretty card to share with you today using a couple of favourites from Stampin Up. The Daisy Punch and the Layering Love Stamp Set.

My card stock base is in Blushing Bride too as I the scalloped Oval I used in my topper. The ... VIEW POST

Do you like my Hip Hip Hooray Card? I used Happy Birthday Gorgeous which is a photopolymer stamp set and You Lift Me Up which is a Clear Mount stamp set. I also used the matching Balloon Punch and the Classic label Punch. I love how these coordinating punches make it so easy! Getting a really great stamped image is such a tada! moment and there is nothing more pleasing than seeing a new stampers expression of delight when they stamp for the first time. It never gets old! ... VIEW POST

How cute are these little fellas? This card is just here to make the blog post look pretty! 😃 and is an example to show you how I cut my card bases and layers. Something I had to find out for myself when I started card making. I always use the same measurements to cut my card bases. I like to make a standard size card that fits one of the standard size Stampin Up envelopes. I love those envelopes. I used to think that all envelopes were much the same until I started using them. Now ... VIEW POST

 Aren't these redcurrants a gorgeous colour? Its been a glorious summer so far and we have done well on our allotment for fruit. They were begging to be turned into redcurrant jelly. I have been waiting for the Label Me Pretty Stamp Set and Punch to arrive so I could make some beautiful tags for my jam! It arrived this week . Woo hoo!   I stamped in Real Red to match the jar lid and used the lovely Gingham ribbon in Night of Navy to dress up the jar. ... VIEW POST
