The lovely lady who made this card didn't put her details on the back - so I am sorry I can't tell you who it was! It's funny how so often we don't really notice some stamp sets and then suddenly something happens that makes us sit up and go wow! This was one of those moments. It is such a simple design but so effective. Somehow I think the Garden Whimsy set might just find a way on to my ever growing wish list!

Beautiful Butterflies

This is one of the cards that i received in my swaps at the training day - it came from my "grandmother" Natalie. Buterflies seem to be very in at the moment as lots of people had used them on their cards. I love the colour combination of pumpkin pie and rose red and the sweet and sour papers are some of my favourites. Natalie has used a combinationof the embossing folders and the beautiful butterflies die to create the look. All run through her fabulous Big Shot!

I have been using this stamp set a lot recently - and I think it is really versatile. I hadn't been overwhelmed when I first saw it in the mini catalogue but i seem to be finding more and more uses for it! Here I have chosen to stamp the word background in crumb cake for the thank you cards that i made recently for the lovely ladies at one of my workshops. I really love the concord crush and whisper white combination of colours - very simple but effective.

Tri Card Trickery!

I've been wanting to make a tri fold card for a while but never quite got around to it. So I finally decided to have a go. I've been experimenting with ideas for my Very Vintage class and this seemed to fit the style that I was looking for. It's taken me a few days (mainly because I kept being interupted) but it isn't as difficult as it may seem. Half way through I wasn't sure that it was going to work, but when it was finished I was actually quite happy with the result. I haven't decided yet whether to include it in the class - let me know what you think! By the way - there are still spaces for the class - so if you like the look of this card and the stamp set I am using why don't you drop me a line and book a place. The cost of the class is just £15.00 and includes the stamp set in clear (worth £12.95) - so it's really good value!
