No Peeking - Projects together

Hi all,

After seeing the No Peeking card and gift card earlier in the week, thought you might like to see the projects together.  I had a lot of fun making these and can't wait to make a few more, perhaps in different colour combos :)

No Peeking

Hi all,

Well, it's certainly feeling more like winter now the clocks have gone back and the weather has done nothing but rain recently!  I couldn't resist, and HAD to buy No Peeking stamp set which I fell in love with ever since I first set eyes on the new Annual Catalogue :)

With Christmas just around the corner, I decided to make my nephew his Christmas card with this cute stamp set, hopefully, he'll love it as much as I do!  For his card, I used Real Red and Wild Wasabi colours for him, below is another one made using Cherry Cobbler and the new In Color: Gumball Green.

Side Step Card - Baby Girl

Hi all,

Well time is sure flying by and I don't know where the sunshine is :S

Was surfing the internet earlier looking for inspiration when I came across this cute card here. Just knew after seeing this, that I just had to make one! lol. I have no-one expecting a baby, but you never know when it's needed ;) I am gradually accumulating a box of cards to go to when I'm caught short, so this will add to the others :)

So, without further ado, here's my take on the card for a baby girl...

Side Step Card - Baby Girl (Front)


Side Step Card - Baby Girl (Side)


Stamps: Cheer & Wishes, All For Friends (Level 2 Hostess - Mini Catalogue), Congrats (SAB 09) and Bundle of Joy (retired).

Hope you've enjoyed seeing my little card, watch this space for a card for a baby boy! :D

Bye for now,

December Workshop...

Hi all,

Hope your weekend is going well. Well, I had my last workshop for this year, and I think the ladies enjoyed making a card with a difference :) We made a stair step card which I cased by Ellen (KEA2004) from SCS, which was originally cased by Julie. Note: I changed the dimensions from the original template, so that it would fit in our UK standard sized envelope. I enjoyed creating this card using most of the stamps from Season of Joy and I look forward to making more of these in the near future.

Next, the ladies made a Peek A Boo Box using the Love You Much stamp set that I received as Blog Candy in October to celebrate the release of the new Idea Book & Catalogue. We used a wheel to run over five of the six faces of the cube, and used a number of punches to create the peep hole and the topper.
