Box of cards to cheer up a friend

Last weekend I held a team event with my awesome Stampin' Starlets to show them my new home. It was fabulous catching up with them as it's been a while since I've seen many of them. One of my friends couldn't make it as she ended up unexpectedly in hospital, and she was much missed by the whole group. To show her how much we love and miss her, I suggested that we all make a mini card and write a little note of encouragement inside. We had great fun making 3"x3" cards, using the "Thinking of You" sentiment [...]

Case challenge 1 – sneak peek

I've been having lots of fun with the Case Challenge that started on Monday, and wanted to give you a sneak peek. I decided to use the Nature's Poem suite of products, which includes the Rooted in Nature stamp set, but also the Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper and the coordinating cardstock pack. The colours are Petal Pink, Soft Suede and Tranquil Tide, which is a colour combination I haven't used very frequently. I paired these colours with shades found in the DSP. Did you know that on the back of every pack of DSP it tells you the [...]
