How about a cocktail on this new Friday? The weekend is calling and the weather is looking great, so go for it! It was great to see that Stampin’ Up! included the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set(158295) in the new catalogue so it was easy to choose what images to use for this cute […]

GARDEN WISHES BUNDLE
Hello and welcome! I’ve been trying to add more cards with a masculine feel to my collection so this is one idea that I came up with. I love the dandylion puffs in the Garden Wishes stamp set and the matching dies make it a breeze to cut them out. This is available as a […]
AN ELEGANT THANK YOU
Hi on this Friday in May 2021! I’m going a little elegant today – my version of elegant is to use Very Vanilla cardstock, a bit of embossing and some Genial Gems. This greeting from Peaceful Moments stamp set(151595) is a bit “sassy” but hey, who says elegance can’t be sassy! A simple layout is […]
A CONGRATS CARD WITH HAND-PENNED PETALS
It’s Friday and I’m ending the week with another new stamp set bundle – Hand-Penned Petals. I started out with the Pale Papaya 2021-2023 InColor for the card base. Both the flower and the leaves were coloured with a Blender Pen(102845) using the Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent inks. I haven’t used a Blender Pen […]

The Pampered Pets Bundle(154069) is so much fun and that happy greeting from Forever Fern(152559) is the perfect accent! I was following along with the […]
INSPIRATION IS EVERYWHERE

I stamped them with the Jet Black Stazon ink and used an assortment of Stampin’ Write markers to colour them. Since dragonfly wings show iridescent, I added a touch of Wink […]
SO THANKFUL FOR FLOWERS
Wow, it’s Friday already and I’m celebrating with flowers! The Sweet Strawberry Bundle(156214) isn’t just about fruit you know. I coloured them bright with the Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends and, of course a little Granny Apple Green doesn’t hurt! This card follows along with the layout from Freshly Made Sketches for this week. Here’s the […]
BACK ON YOUR FEET
I’m stocking up on “get well” cards – it never hurts to be prepared just in case! A little humour helps when someone you know is ill, so here’s to getting back on your feet as soon as possible! The images in the Back on Your Feet stamp set(149385) are just so cute and are […]
