Yes I know it’s a Christmas scene but it is penguins!!! A friend of mine said that penguins are just for Christmas so we will have penguins today. This card has a hidden little flap on the front of the card. It’s held closed with a magnet and has a little ribbon pull. So cute.

I got this paper free during Sale-a-Bration (SAB). It matches the Penguin Place stamp set and punch that is in the new mini catalogue. So cute!!! During SAB you can a free item for every £45 you spend. So you save as you spend, a win-win for me.

This is a reworking of a card we made recently in card club. I love this hidden pocket feature that can hold a tag or a gift card. It is so much fun and you still have all the space inside the card to write a special message. The Peaceful Prints designer series paper (DSP) is a Christmas collection. This green print though can be used any time of the year. It’s just a simple muted design. So great!!

Make a Big / Bold Birthday Gift Bag With Me – Peaceful Prints DSP – Biggest Wish – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I absolutely love this bag. It is so pretty. The gorgeous sentiment is from the Biggest Wish set and is a firm favourite of mine as it makes a project on its own. The paper is actually the Peaceful Prints DSP which is a Christmas collection but as shown here not all prints have to be Christmas. I matted everything on Basic White and it really makes the whole project pop. I love using white as it makes dark colours pop and conversely black makes light colours pop too.

  • Real Red Cardstock – 11 1/2″ X 8″ score on

    • Short side at 1 1/2″ from either side

Making a Z Fold Card – Free SAB Paper – Thank You!! Card – Peaceful Prints DSP – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I am trying my hand at fancy fold cards. It’s not something that I’ve ever been into but I am warming up to them more and more. This one turned out really well and is so easy to do. I love the combination of the Early Espresso (brown) and the Polished Pink colours. The flowers are cut using the Pierced Blooms die set. It’s a great set with lots of different flowers and leaves. A really useful addition to my stash.

Yes, the Party Puffins are showing us their dance moves again. They are boogying for all they are worth here in this cute bookmark. Now don’t get me wrong, I love the ease of ebooks but nothing can replace a proper book. I will use my kindle when I go away and don’t want to carry a zillion books in my suitcase but at home, I prefer proper books. They are so much easy to cross-reference from book to book or page to page.

Colour me Beautiful – Grateful Card – Beautiful Penned DSP – Ornate Thanks – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This card uses only one colour, Polished Pink, I don’t count black and white as colours and doesn’t it look fabulous. I love pink flowers they are so bold and happy. These flowers are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. A firm favourite of mine to colour with as they make shading so easy.

measurements

  • A6 Cardbase in Polished Pink – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then cut in half
  • Beautifull Penned Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 13.85cm X 10cm cut in three pannells.

The whole peach suite of products is simply beautiful. These peaches stamp so well. They look yummy to eat. I love how the stamping gives you all the shading and highlights of each fruit. My grandmother used to make peach jam, it is quite hard to find in the supermarket but delicious if you do find it.

We made this easel card in a recent card club and I thought I would share it with you. Card club happens each month in my Facebook Group via a Facebook Live.

I also made a second colour way using the Sweet Symmetry DSP.

Isn’t this little guy cute? He is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. He is such a friendly little guy, just makes you smile. The stamp set is Turtle Friends and of course has a matching punch. I love my punches and have quite a collection of retired punches as I struggle to destash them. They are convenient and don’t require any other tools to use.
