Here’s a lovely little card, following on from yesterday’s birthday theme: It uses the Butterfly embosslits folder for the Big Shot, which creates a number of cut and embossed butterflies with only one pass through the machine. It is very quick, and makes batch making cards and projects a breeze. Ideal for making wedding stationary […]
First Birthday Balloon Cards
A change of tack from the Christmas cards from yesterday… First Birthday cards! As our twins are now over a year old, it stands to reason that a lot of their and our friends who we know through the baby groups will also be turning 1. So I have been making some cards for them. […]
Get ready for Christmas early this year
I know, I know. Christmas has only just been and gone, so why on Earth am I going on about it this early in the year? Simply because I want to help you be ready for it early this time round. We all know it is coming. It happens on 25th December every single year. […]
Cheers!
Here is a nice simple card for you today. It uses the Happy Hour stamp set, and only two colours of cardstock plus one matching ink (not counting as this is an essential!). The card can be used for any occasion, especially if you mix and match it with other sentiments included in the stamp […]
25 Years of Stampin’ Up!
This year marks Stampin’ Up!’s 25th birthday! They have been trading for this long “across the pond” in the USA, and have since expanded to Australia, New Zealand and Europe. There is also an affiliate company in Canada (I just learned this today!). As far as I know this is all, but I am willing […]

Lots going on… but not on the blog!
I am so sorry for the extended period of absence of my presence hereabouts! Having twins, especially ones who arrive 3 months premature, is a killer for the schedule as well as the social life! The last year has disappeared, rather, but I am finally managing to make a bit of time for both crafting […]
Mini catalogue and Sale.a.bration
Keep your eyes open for news of an open house to be held for the launch of the new mini catalogue and Sale.a.bration! I have been AWOL due to the unexpected very early arrival of our twin babies, so things here have been rather busy! They are currently in the hospital, but if you want […]
Convention here we come!
Gary and I are currently in Paris awaiting the start of this year’s annual Stampin’ Up! European convention. We’ll be heading off to Disney tomorrow, as the convention will be held there on Friday and Saturday. Looking forward to seeing “old” friends and probably making new ones, too. If that’s how you found this blog, […]
Successful Catalogue Launch
Hi all, Just a quick update on last week’s succesful catalogue launch. We only had two attendees in the end, due to various reasons, but they both had a great time and it was nice to chat to them about the new products and the varous changes in the new catalogue. There was some good […]
