Hi stampers ! Merry Christmas to you ! This afternoon I created this cute wreath card which fits into a standard A5 envelope . I used the Flowers Of friendship bundle from the Annual catalogue . I began with a piece of Soft Succulent Card stock measuring 8 " x 6 " scored at 2" & 4 " .
Hi stamping friends . Yesterday afternoon I created some cute birdhouse cards for my Facebook Live . I cased the card sign from Chantal Herve . Such a clever design and oh so cute ! I love birdhouses !
For the first card I used the Birds & Branches stamp set & the matching Birds & More dies .
My last sample was created using a background I hand stamped using the Sweet As A Peach stamp set . I used Pear Pizazz for all of these cards and my flowers were stamped using Mango Melody
Hi stamping friends .
Last night I created an impossible box with a matching card . I got this idea firstly from Jan B and then found several different versions on Pinterest and I believe the original creator was Julie DiMatteo #paper pixie . The box is created from one single piece of card stock or designer series paper . When it is closed it appears as though it has a removable lid but it’s actually all one piece ! Pretty cool right !
I also created the matching card using my Basic Borders dies and some products from the Eden’s Garden suite of products . If you love the DSP and gems you need to get them now because they are not going through to the new mini !
You can see how I made this in my video as well as some gorgeous Christmas cards I’ve received.
I hope you''ll give this box] a try , you'll be so glad you did !

Hi stamping friends ! It"s been a few weeks since I last posted ! We moved house and had been in our old house 40 years so it was huge ! Happily we are setting in and the most important room in the house - my craft room of course - is all set up and I am loving it ! This is the very first time ever that I have had an actual craft room so you can imagine how that feels ! Friday night I returned to my Facebook Lives and couldn't wait to share wth what I had created . For this card I used the Joseph's coat technique as demonstrated in the video . I have not used this for quite a while so I thought some of my new stampers would like to see how this effect is achieved . I cased this card from Sandi McIvor , thank you Sandi .
Following on after that I had found an embossed piece of Basic White so I proceeded to 'wing it' for this next card . I hope you like it !
Hello stamping friends . Last Friday night I cased the SAB catalogue and created these two beautiful cards during my Facebook Live .

Hello stamping friends . Registration for my Zentangle class closed yesterday so now I can show samples of the cards I created . I was inspired to re visit this technique by Sarah Sayers . Thank you Sarah , I love being part of the Stampin ' Up ! community where my stamping sisters freely share their ideas . There are no instructions for this class but if you're quick and live in Australia I'd be happy to cut a kit for you .
Thanks for visiting my blog today .
