All occasion cards using the Spotlight on Nature bundle from Stampin’ Up!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Here are the cards I created for my online class featuring the Spotlight on Nature stamps and dies. For the first card I was inspired by a card I saw from Create With Christy. I thought I would add some texture to the background by using an embossing folder on the panel after I stamped the leafy image over it. I added the embossed panel to a basic white mat to tie in with the white focal point and to make the background stand out more from the Pretty...
Create cute animal cards with the Pets & More card class
Hi, Thanks for stopping by my blog today. This class features the Pets & More stamp set from Stampin' Up! This stamp set contains some cute animals and fun accessories. It is a special reversible stamp set, which means you can fill in the image with colour by using the reverse (flat) side of the stamp. The first card shows where I used the reverse side of the stamps to colour in the images. This works well for symmetrical images. I created the woodgrain background by swiping a Pecan Pie...

Coffee themed card for a lovely guy
Hi, Thanks for stopping by my blog today, for another blog hop with Demonstrators in the Tech 4 Stampers Academy group. This month’s theme is Boys & Men. I decided to go with a fancy fold card I learned in a team craft night, and made it into a card for my husband. He is very supportive of my crafting passion. Here is my card: On a standard card base I adhered a piece of Designer Series Paper to 14.5cm x 10.2cm to leave a very narrow border. I used Stampin' Seal around the edges...
Faded Denim background embossed floral card
Hi Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I’m taking part in the Tech 4 Stampers blog hop, and this month’s theme is flowers. This is such a broad topic, and I’m sure you’ll find lots of variations on the theme. I’ve recently been experimenting with a technique I’ve seen from different artists using different 3D embossing folders. These give a lovely texture to cardstock and can be used plain or coloured with a variety of mediums. Here is my card. I put a piece of Basic White cardstock (13.8cm...
