This image is all one die cut. Can you believe it? It’s so pretty. You could either used an adhesive sheet on the cardstock before you die cut or just good old tombow. It die-cuts beautifully and looks so striking. The background DSP is Peaceful Prints. The sentiment is matted on the sparkly Be Dazzling Paper. Both of these papers were free during Sale-a-bration.

Making a Card with a Hidden Tag / Gift Card – Peaceful Prints DSP / Beautifully Penned DSP – In Bloom – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

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.

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.

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’ve never been a big fan of fancy fold cards but I am trying to chance this and was so pleased with how this turned out. This is the beautiful “Sweet as a Peach” designer series paper (DSP). I also made a second colour way using the Sweet Symmetry DSP.

Who has dreamt of flying into space? Those of you of a certain age will remember making rockets with Fairy washing up liquid bottles. Unfortunately they have now changed the shape but many a child impatiently waited for the bottle to finish to make a rocket. I loved playing like that, we didn’t need lots of toys as a good imagination did the trick.

Although I am writing this blog in June it will go out in July. The beginning of July heralds Wimbledon and of course strawberries & cream. I’ve already had some delicious strawberries this year. I’m not made about cream so had iced cream instead. We have some local pick your own strawberry farms here but with just my mother and I we wouldn’t be able to eat all we would pick in time.

I’ve always loved playing with ink and paint and enjoy mixed media art. This is my version of a mixed media card, Stampin’ Up! style. I find mixed media art so freeing as there is no mistakes, just more chances to be creative. There is right or wrong way, just what makes you happy and looks go to you. All crafting would make you happy but mixed media makes me especially happy.

This is a very simple monochromatic birthday card. I am starting to use embossing folders more and more in my designs. They add great texture and interest to backgrounds. The one I used here is called Pretty Flowers and is new in the catalogue. The rhinestones really make the flowers pop. Sometimes these tiny finishing touches really make a card.
