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.

This week for the Global Design Project #GDP098 we have a sketch challenge. Each week the Global Design Team set a new challenge. It varies from colour, theme, layout, sketch and CASE the designer. I really enjoy playing along as it stretches your creativity.   I knew I wanted to make a clean and simple card this week. One of my favourites at the moment is the Daisy Suite and I couldn't resist putting these beautiful Delightful Daisy papers in. I have used them to make my banners ... 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

Do you ever have a creative idea in your head that you need to get down on  paper? I knew that I wanted to make a different card using the Daisy punch.  I have made quite a few using the bundle of Stamps and  matching punch and  I love it. However, I wanted a "cleaner", fresher look for this card and realised to get this look I needed to keep it very simple. I used a water colour wash of Daffodil Delight on my mat of watercolour paper. ( 14.3 cm x 10 cm )  I ... VIEW POST
