New Spring Mini Catalogue

On Saturday 1st of August, the new Spring Mini Catalogue will be released! There are some beautiful stamps, a gorgeous Oval Scallop Punch and once again, the Designer Series Papers won't disappoint! I will be posting some designs over the coming weeks that can be used at Stampastacks and workshops over the next few months. I am also working on some Christmas Card designs with some of the beautiful Christmas stamps from the Spring Mini which I will upload soon so keep checking the blog!


If you would like a copy of the Spring Mini Catalogue, let me know and I will hold one aside for you before I run out!



Here is one of the designs using the Oval Scallop Punch. Using it in conjunction with the 3 hole scallop punch creates a very feminine look.

Butter Dish

Last week I celebrated my birthday, one thing I have been wanting for ages is a butter dish and my mother found the perfect one for me - isn't it just lovely!

Friendship Card

Last weekend my husband was lucky enough to go away and stay with a beautiful friend of ours in Sydney. I was lucky enough to stay home with India and have a lovely weekend of cardmaking without feeling guilty for locking myself away in my craft room!

I made this card for Analee for Kim to say 'thank you' for the positive outlook on life her and Jay infect us with! I'm glad I took a photo of it before he left because apparently when he went to write on it a huge 'blob' of ink leaked from his pen onto the card!! Here is how it should have looked Analee!

Monday Night's StampaStack

Thanks to the lovely ladies who joined the StampaStack on Monday night! In my 'cosy' craft room we all gathered together with the open fire keeping us warm from the chill of the winter air. Here is a sample of one of the cards they made, using Rose Red, Basic Black, Very Vanilla cardstock with the Baroque Motifs stamp, Bella's Border roller wheel, Eyelet Border punch with Rose Red ink. It is such a lovely, feminine card which is very simple to make.

'So Glad We're Friends' 6 x 6 Scrapbook Page

At a Workshop yesterday, I demonstrated this 6 x 6 Scrapbook Page. Using the Pink Pirioutte Textured Cardstock, Raspberry Tart DSP, Riding Hood Red Textured Cardstock, Bella's Border roller wheel, Riding Hood Red Ink, Pink Piroutte Double Striped Ribbon and the
Best Yet Level 1 Hostess Stamp Set. I have also used the 1 1/4 inch Square and 1 3/8 Square Punches. It is just a lovely way to combine the 3 colours. I must say I am looking forward to using the Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood Red together with Christmas Card Designs.
