Framelits Enchantment

April 10, 2012

This was the first card I made using the fabulous new Framelits Labels dies in the new Autumn/Winter Mini; I made it a couple of weeks ago, but computer woes meant I haven’t been able to post till now – thank goodness I’d scheduled a lot of posts in advance!

A Little Origami

April 2, 2012

My Stampin’ Sister, Bec Tipace, demonstrated this little shirt on a Make & Take card at one of our team meetings last year, and I have been meaning to make it in a class ever since. We finally made it last month – everyone used different DSP; they all looked so good, but of course I forgot to take photos!

Medallion Resist

March 31, 2012

The idea for these cards came from our monthly demo magazine – I love this stamp but it hadn’t seen the light of day for a while. Both cards were done the same way, but the first one was overstamped in Stazon, the second in Chocolate Chip classic ink, the embossed medallion ‘resisting’ the ink on this one.

Casing from the SAB Brochure

March 29, 2012

I cased this card from one on the Sale-a-Bration brochure – a simple card, but rather lovely – but I couldn’t resist adding a little of the Lucky Limeade organdy ribbon – I think it just perfect for this card.

More Everyday Enchantment

March 27, 2012

More Stitched Stockings

March 23, 2012

I saw this and this cute card using the stocking tag punch, on Jackie Topa’s blog and just had to case them! I have had so much fun with this punch, I will be really sad to see it retire with the Summer mini. I have seen quite a few other ways to use this versatile punch, on various blogs.

Doesn’t this make a gorgeous baby card?

Elementary Elegance again!

March 21, 2012

I had meant to punch a window with the curly label punch on this card, but stamped too far from the edge for the punch to fit! I could have punched it out with the Movers & Shapers die, but decided to do it this way instead (too lazy to get the M & S dies out!)
