Pet Thank You Card

Hope you've all had a good weekend.  The weather here has been glorious :)  We combined our weekend with camping and shih tzus, what a fun time we had! lol.

So, here's the card I gave to the lady who organised the shih tzu event.  Hope she will treasure the card :)

Thank You Mandy

Hi there,

Today is a very special day... we're off to a place to meet up with lots of other shih tzus!  I'm not sure what we'll make of it, whether Riley will have a go at everything, but we're definitely looking forward to a fun day ahead!

I have made a Thank You card for the lady that has helped to organise this event.  She has two gorgeous shih tzus, Coco and Hugo, so I made a card to resemble her cuties.

Come back tomorrow to see the card...

Here's a sneak peek:

Hope you have a great weekend.  Until tomorrow...

Trendy Trees - Thanks So Much.

Hi all,

Recently been attending a lovely craft group and got to play with their Stampin' Up! stash that they've acquired through my Workshops :) Decided to stamp up "Trendy Trees" as it's a stamp set I'm eagerly awaiting to buy this weekend, so thought I'd make a small card with some of the images I stamped up the other day.

Trendy Trees


The cardstock base looked a bit bare, so decided to use a stamp from "Seeing Spots" stamp set as it was a close match to the style from "Trendy Trees". I versamarked this on the base cardstock to create a watermark background. If I had the Trendy Trees stamp set, I would have done this with the circular stamp from this set.

Stamps: Trendy Trees and Seeing Spots.
Cardstock: Close To Cocoa, Whisper White. Designer Series Paper - Cottage Wall.
Inkpad: Old Olive and Close To Cocoa. Versamark Stamp Pad.
Accessories: Sponge Dauber, Scallop Circle Punch, 1-3/8" Circle Punch, Word Window Punch, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Bone Folder and Dimensionals.
Card Size: 4x4.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day.

Workshop - Greenhouse Garden

Hi all,

Hope you're having a good week. Recently held a workshop for some ladies and we had fun with "Greenhouse Garden" stamp set which is a Two-Step Stamp Set which is fabulous used with the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig.

Below is the "Make & Take" that the ladies made which uses one of the stamp sets on offer this month for 20% off!

Greenhouse Garden - Make & Take


Inside the Card


The ladies made the card above, either choosing to leave the Pixie Pink cardstock blank or stamping to make a floral patterned background using one of the middle line stamps. The side was punched with the Scallop Edge Punch and a strip of Gable Green cardstock was adhered to the inside right hand side of the card.

Considering some of the ladies were new to crafting, they managed really well and had a go. Some were a pro with the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig!

Stamps: Greenhouse Garden and Sincere Salutations.
Cardstock: Pixie Pink, Gable Green and Whisper White.
Inkpad: Pixie Pink and Pink Passion.
Accessories: Scallop Edge Border Punch, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig and Bone Folder.
Card Size: 4"x4".

See you tomorrow for a peek of the Demo Card that made part of the Hostess gift :)

Bye for now,

Simply Said - Workshop.

Hi all,

Held a workshop recently for some lovely ladies and decided to play and showcase a favourite stamp set of mine called "Simply Said" which I think has many possibilities with the numerous images and sentiment stamps in the set of 11 stamps. I love this stamp set, but haven't managed to make much with it recently, as my go-to-stamps right now seem to be "Vintage Vogue" or "Greenhouse Garden"! lol. So, a perfect opportunity to make a few cards with this set to show it's versatility to the ladies.

The ladies all watched me demo a card using various stamps from the Simply Said stamp set along with En Francais Background Stamp and Oval All and matching punches. (This card was CASEd by Helen a fellow SU Demo). The completed card that I demoed made part of the Hostess gift for welcoming me to their club again. Here's the card I made below:

Simply Said


Stamps: Simply Said, Oval All and En Francais Background Stamp.
Cardstock: Bashful Blue, Basic Gray and Whisper White. Patterns Designer Series Paper - Bashful Blue.
Inkpad: Bashful Blue and Basic Gray.
Accessories: Stampin' Write Marker - Bashful Blue, Taffeta Ribbon - Basic Gray, Scallop Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, Bone Folder and Dimensionals.
Card Size: A6

Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.

Pop back tomorrow and I'll show case the Make & Take that the ladies made.

Until next time...
