For last week’s Card & Cuppa I designed a project using the spotlight technique. First, a background was created using the Petal Palette Stamp Set in Black Archival Ink (on the retiring list along with Basic Gray Archival Ink). Next, 3 different size circles are punched from the background. Then it’s colouring of each circle
Last month I was invited to a Guiding event to teach the ladies how to make two cards. Here is one of the projects. This is a project from last year’s Charity Card Making Day that I chose to revisit. It uses leaves from various stamp sets in shades of green. The butterflies are from
For last week’s Card & Cuppa I chose to use a Stamp Set that we hadn’t used for a very long time. As we were revisiting Eastern Beauty, I also revisited a similar project I’d made previously too. I changed the colours slightly using Berry Burst, Powder Pink and Pool Party and set the project
One of the projects at my Stamp-a-Stack classes is a card suitable for children. Here is a bold bright card that ticks that box. It’s similar to this project I made for the child of a friend. However, on this Stamp-a-Stack project I chose to leave it more generic so it would be suitable for

The sentiment comes from Picture Perfect Birthday. My colour palette of Tranquil Tide, Night of Navy and Crumb takes inspiration from the True
At last week’s Card & Cuppa we used the SAB Party Pandas Stamp Set to create this fun card. It’s suitable for any occasion. The background card and layer just had to be in Whisper White and Basic Black to co-ordinate with the panda. As the colouring is using the alcohol based Stampin’ Blends, we’ve
At last week’s Card & Cuppa class I reached for one of my favourite stamp sets from SAB – Lots of Lavender. However, we didn’t use the lavender stamps, but the gorgeous roses instead. For this soft and pretty card, I used Very Vanilla, Peekaboo Peach and Pear Pizzazz, with Smoky Slate for the outline
For our second Card & Cuppa session of the year, I decided to design a card with a more masculine feel. This is the Bubble Over Stamp Set from the new Spring/Summer Catalogue. It has matching dies too. My inspiration for this project was from a bottle of beer my husband was drinking. So, I
