I have chosen to use the Bright & Beautiful DSP (designer series paper) with its fun...

I want to share with you a quick & easy Birthday card using the Cake Celebration stamp set. Most stamp sets have their main images and smaller supporting images, it is those images that I have used for todays card. The Cake Celebration stamp set is, as the name suggests, focused on images that build...
How To Create A Quick & Easy Fancy Fold Wedding Card.
Hello and Merry Christmas! Ok, I am a bit early but hay ho. This month's Tech 4 Stampers blog hop is all about Fancy Fold cards. Handmade cards are always special but make it a Fancy Fold and it is extra special. There are so many ways to create a Fancy Fold, some are simple whilst others need a math degree. For me, I prefer the simple not just because they are quick and easy but because they allow the stamping to be the main component. I have chosen to use the new Online Exclusive Cake...
How To Create A Simple Christmas Wreath
Hello and welcome to November's Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop. This month we are all about 3D items and I would like to share a Simple Christmas Wreath with you, that I CASED (Copy And Share Everything) from the mini catalogue pg47. On my first look through the catalogue, I was drawn to the Sweetest Star Bundle. The fun images are so cute and having a punch makes for quick and easy crafting. I have also seen this turned into a Halloween wreath instead of a Christmas Wreath. I haven't got the...
How To Create A White Christmas Card.
Hello and thanks for popping by. For this month's Tech 4 Stampers blog hop we are bringing you 'White Christmas'. We all wish for a White Christmas, right? I know I do, just for a day or two is perfect. It helps to create that magical feeling and create that perfect Christmas atmosphere. I wanted to create a card that was completely white, but that is absurd. A completely white card would be plain and boring. Just adding a little colour like black and silver gives interest. For my White...

How To Use The Saying Something Ephemera Pack – Thanks Card.
Hello, welcome to this month's Tech 4 Stampers blog hop. We are bringing you 'Thanks'. Besides birthday cards, thanks cards must be the cards I make and send the most. I really enjoy creating and send them, knowing that the recipient will have a smile on their face and feel appreciated. We all say thanks many times in a day, and it can just become a word, but taking the effort to make and send a card truly shows you mean it. I love a large die-cut sentiment, but we may not have the room,...
How to CASE A Friend.
Hello, it is time for the Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop. This month we are CASEing a friend! Many people ask what CASE means or stands for. Stampin' Up!® say Copy And Share Everything, this is what I go with always making sure I give credit to the creator. Many say Copy And Selectively Edit, which many of us do and again always giving credit. You can choose to go with either or both. My card today is both as I didn't have the products used to create the card I am CASEing so I have used what I...
