I am a member of the Tantalizing Stampers group and each month one member sets a challenge for the rest to create a project, it can be a card, scrapbook page or 3d item. It is my turn this month and I set a colour challenge. The colours to use were Very Vanilla and Whisper White and at least one embellishment. This is the card I created as my inspiraton for the challenge.  I used one of the  gordeous new lacy so detailed thinlit dies as the main focus of the card and die cut...

 We all enjoyed making the Nailed It pop 'n twist card seen HERE a few weeks ago so much that I continued to make a few more different ones. As the Beautiful You stamp set was still out on my desk, I created the following using the floral boutique designer series papers The ladies dresses were a little tricky when paper piecing but it was worth the fussy cutting. A belly band was created to keep the card together using the new so detailed thinlits   A few of the ladies made their...

There are lots of pop and twist cards on the internet and I studied quite a few You Tube videos before attempting to make one of my own for my husband's birthday. Although they look very complex and intricate I was quite surprised at how easy they are to construct. I showed the card to my class last week and they all loved the design and requested to make one too! There were quite a few elements to the construction but we did it in stages and it all went smoothly.  The ladies were all...

Last weeks theme was love and romance which I thought was very appropriate seeing as we were fast approaching Valentine's Day.  I am sharing our cards we made using the Bloomin' Heart thinlits die and a variety of other flowers and heart dies and punches  The ladies had fun creating their cards as I gave them various options on whether they wished to use all the flowers, hearts, bows and sentiment in their design.      They were all very unique and lovely and for those...
