As promised in my previous blog I am sharing some more of the shadow box frame cards I have made recently in a variety of different designs Can you believe the paper used for this card is actually stamped using the beautiful 'Something Lacy' background stamp using pink pirouette ink on whisper white card. I love this stamp and am very sad to say it is not going into the new Annual catalogue  and you will no longer be able to purchase it once the current catalogue ends. If you would like...

Today I wanted to share the cards I have done during the last weeks classes. It has been a very busy week with my monthly class on Sunday morning,  two classes on Monday and one on Friday afternoon. I also had a Stall at the When you Wish Upon  Star Charity Event Fashion Show, which generated some further interest. Both cards were made during the usual 2 hour sessions and utilised numerous techniques from colouring/stamping through to embossing/punching and die cutting. With Paul...

Two of the treat holders in different colour combinations I found the technique for the following card on Pinterest and...

Easter is approaching and I knew I had the perfect stamp set in my stash to create a fabulous Easter Card.  I have had the Indescribable Gift stamp set for quite a few weeks now which hadn't seen any ink up until now. The stamp was inked with versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder on to the vellum.  An embossing ball tool was used on the back to emboss the image. We then coloured the image  on the back with  Stampin’ Write markers, using Calypso Coral, and...
