Blended Background Sunset for T4S Blog Hop
Hello and welcome to this month's Tech 4 Stampers Blog Hop. For July we have a theme of Summer Fun and the weather, here in the UK, could not be more fitting. Summer Fun gives endless possibilities, beach, sun, swim, days out, bars and much, much more. For me, a dream summer would be by the sea, watching the sun set and a glass of wine or two. What better way to express this than the In The Moment stamp set and one image in particular. I have teamed this with a blended background, to create a...

Keep It Simple for T4S Blog Hop
Hello and welcome to this month's Tech 4 Stampers Blog Hop. For June we have a theme of Keep it Simple. Sounds simple right? But many of us really struggle with simple stamping. Very often, I will start off with simple in mind, but it usually ends up anything but simple. For this project I have used the Blessings of Home stamp set, Basic Gray ink and Denim Ribbon. The detail in the stamps allows for simple stamping, whilst giving lots of texture. Keep It Simple Create an A6 card base,...
