It has been a while since I last posted on my blog and I have quite a few cards to share with you. A couple of months ago my Sunday class asked for a baby card, so I decided to make one using the new baby bear stamp set which could easily adapted for either a boy or girl There are two colour versions of the cards below, one in mint macaron and the other in pink pirouette. The mint macaron can be used for either boy or girl so is great to keep in the drawer as a spare! The cards were made using...

It was our youngest daughter, Leanne's, birthday last week. She was 23. She is an animal lover and loves our cat Tibby so much that when I saw the Pretty Kitty stamp set, I knew this was the ideal stamp set to use on her card. There are 5 cute kitten images plus 6 sentiments in the set. I made the card into a side waterfall card with four panels I made an ordinary waterfall card a few years ago but never one on the side and  not as big. The images were coloured in with various stampin'...

August is always a busy month in our family with lots of birthdays and an anniversary celebration. We have been married 29 years this year, so next year will be pearl, so I will have to start thinking what I can make for a male card. Maybe I will just resort to using pearlised card!!   You can never go wrong with a teddy card, so above is a box card I made for my hushand this year using the Baby Bear Stamp Set

I have been making some sample cards with the thoughtful branches bundle and came across a couple of z-cards on Pinterest. This is my version.  I think this would make a great back drop for children who love to play with farm animals. I can just imagine it being surrounded by toy sheep and cows.... I had all the samples made in the thoughtful branches bundle on display at the classes and this caught the eyes of all the ladies who expressed an interest in making one, at a future class. Not...

As you can probably gather from reading my two previous blogs HERE & HERE I have loved playing with the detailed floral thinlits. Here is the 3rd card in the series The smaller of the two detailed floral thinlits was used this time to create a partially cut out framed card in thick white card A piece of pool party card was cut with the outer edge of the die and placed behind the intricate lace panel We used a retired floral background stamp in pool party ink to create the background paper...

Here is another collection of cards using the fabulous detailed floral thinlits along with the flourish thinlits We found these cards to be very quick to complete with just a couple of mats and layers and the top piece die cut using the larger of the two detailed floral dies. The delicate flower at the top left hand corner was created by using a section of one of the large flourishes from the flourish thinlits and backed by the largest flower  from the blossom bunch  punch in the...
