August Stamp a Stack - Second project

Hello,
Today I'm back with another card from this months Stamp a Stack. Again we used the Peaceful Pines Stamp set and perfect pines dies.  Although there are a few small elements to this card once the cutting out and embossing was done it was fairly quick and easy to put together.

Look out for tomorrows post where I'll have the new online code for September for you and the new Autumn/Winter catalogue is launched.

August Stamp a Stack


Good Morning,
I hope you've all had a lovely Bank Holiday weekend the weather stayed nice for you.

Now that the end of August is upon us we will soon be preparing ourselves for the run up to Christmas and as crafters getting ready (if we haven't already) to start making Christmas cards.
This month I held my first Christmas Stamp a Stack. We made 8 cards, 2 each of 4 designs. The designs for this months cards were based on trees and we used the Peaceful Pines stamp set.

The brand new Autumn/Winter catalogue is available from Thursday 1st September and is full of fantastic Christmas goodies and ideas. 
My next Christmas Stamp a Stack is on Tuesday 13th September at Drayton Village Hall 7-9pm. There are only a couple of places left so please email me soon if you'd like to join us. If you would prefer to get a few ladies together and for me to come to you then please contact me and I will arrange the event to suite.  
The online code for August has now closed and a new code will be available Thursday 1st September.

Celebrate with Floral Boutique


Good Morning,
Another anniversary card to share with you today, and this time it was one which I made for very dear friends who celebrated their Pearl Wedding Anniversary.

This card was made using Detailed Floral Thinlit Dies and the Floral Phrases stamp set. Both items are from the Floral Boutique Suite range and are perfect when making Engagement, Wedding or Anniversary cards or layouts.
To make this card I firstly layered Whisper White and Smoky Slate cardstock and then die cut the final layer with both Detailed Floral thinlit dies. I then stamped the sentiment in smoky slate and added a whisper white organza bow. As the card was for a Pearl Wedding celebration I embellished the card with pearl basic jewels.

62nd Anniversary

Hello!
I recently made this card for my parents who celebrated their 62nd Wedding Anniversary. I love the timeless love stamp set and this was perfect for the occasion.


  • For the centre design of the card I stamped the image four times, two opposite each other on a pre-cut circle and two separately, before colouring the images in. 
  • To colour the image I firstly pressed the lids of the inkpad down then opened the ink pads up to find ink in the lid. I then used this to watercolour the images. 
  • I then cut around the flowers on the two separate images and layered these onto the base design using dimensionals.
