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...

Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop – Love is in the air

Hi, Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I'm joining in with another blog hop with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world sharing ideas relating to a monthly theme. This month the theme is "Love is in the Air" (I immediately think of the song by Australian singer John Paul Young who had a hit song with that title - do you remember it?) I've been making some cards with the Bee My Valentine stamp set lately, so I thought it would fit in with this month's theme. Here is my card. I used...

Technique Tuesday – Brayer and bubble wrap

Technique Tuesday – Brayer and bubble wrap

Welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. Today I'm hopping with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world sharing projects featuring brayering techniques. When I saw the theme I had to join in because there are so many ways you can create fun backgrounds with a brayer. It's been years since I've done any of these so I was excited to see that Stampin' Up is bringing back a brayer in the new January - April 2024 Mini Catalogue. I was able to order the new brayer a few weeks ago as a...

Trusty Tools card for the guys

Hi, Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I recently received some new Stampin' Up! products that will be released in the January - April 2024 mini catalogue. I had attended Stampin' Up's online convention in November where we got a sneak peek at the new catalogue and Sale-a-bration brochure. We were given a selection of products that we could order, and when I saw the Trusty Tools bundle I had to get it. My customers are always asking for "male" cards, or cards for the guys, and this bundle...
