As my Christmas Card Classes have now all finished, I can share the projects with you. The first is from my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack and is this really quick and simple card made using the Christmas Gleaming Bundle. I squealed when I first saw this bundle in the Autumn/Winter Catalogue as there are TWO Punches. This
Every 6 weeks or so, I design a project for Card & Cuppa that is more suited to men. For this one, I reached for the Geared Up Garage Stamp Set. Normally for male cards, there is a lot of blues, greens and Crumb Cake used. I opted for a slightly brighter palette. This combination
I’ll often ask the attendees to suggest cards they would like to make at Card & Cuppa sessions. A recent suggestion was a generic Birthday card, something suitable for both male and female. This project is a combination of this card and this one. It’s a great idea to combine elements of projects you have
Last week’s Card & Cuppa project was this pretty Birthday card, made using the Perennial Birthday Stamp Set. I used a combination of Rococo Rose, Merry Merlot and Old Olive for this project, along with Very Vanilla. We used the fabulous ‘Pearlized Doilies’ as a background.

I’ve recently welcomed a new team member to my Stampin’ Up! Team – The Lilypad Crafters. Obviously being a crafting team, my new team member needed a handmade card.

A friend is going through a tough time, so I wanted them to know that I was thinking of them. They are a fan of pink and sparkly things, so I designed this card using the more muted Petal Pink, along with Soft Suede and Very Vanilla. This soft combination still uses the things they
At last week’s Card & Cuppa sessions, I designed one of the most difficult cards to make, a sympathy card. I used the Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set and some masking to create this pretty project. Using Sponge Brayers, Pool Party and Balmy Blue Ink, the ombre section was created. Second generation stamping then adds a
Yesterday, one of my ‘honorary’ nephews turned 5. I just knew I had to make him a Dino Days Birthday Card. This Bundle is perfect for children (of all ages!) and I love using the Brights colour family with it. For this project, it’s a combination of Poppy Parade, Mango Melody and Granny Apple Green.
Last week was the start of my evening Christmas Card Classes, so I decided that the Card & Cuppa attendees shouldn’t miss out. Also, as it was Half-Term, I held a Card & Cuppa for Children Class. Rather than designing a separate project for them, I chose to use the same project for all of
Last weekend I said farewell to the Rocky Horror Tour. It has been touring the UK since December last year, and I’ve watched it at some of the venues it has visited. Although the tour finishes today, last week was my final visit and was my opportunity to hand out the cards I’d made to
