Embossed Birthday Card
Welcome to this month's Tech 4 Stampers Academy Blog Hop. The theme this month is Embossing. I decided to redo an embossed card that I first made in 2019 but this time make it into a birthday card. To bring it up to date I used three of our current embossing folders and the Cheerful Daisies bundle although you can use any floral stamp set. How I made my Embossed Birthday Card I started with a portrait card base using Basic White Thick card stock. I then cut a mat layer using Fresh Freesia card...
Belated Birthday Card
Welcome to this month's Ink, Stamp, Share Showcase Blog Hop. For this month's showcase hop I have made a belated birthday card for a Team Swap as I often am either last minute or I have forgotten a birthday. For this card I chose to use the Cheerful Daisies Bundle from the new annual catalogue to make it as it has the most appropriate sentiment for a belated birthday card. 'Oops-a-daisy So Sorry' How I made my Belated Birthday Card First I started with an A6 tent fold card base using Fresh...

How to make my Quick and Easy Birthday Card using Scraps First I cut a basic card base using Basic white Thick card stock. Next I cut a mat layer...
Its My Birthday Scrapbook Layout
Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop. The theme this month is: Birthdays. The theme for this month has been decided by the talented Julia Quinn. This month we have been asked to think about creating something that is special about Birthdays and for Its My Birthday Scrapbook Layout I decided to use banners and cake. I decided to use a couple of products that we tend to miss. One is the Days to Remember stamp set and the other is the Light The Candles Card Kit. I love out various kits as...
Male Congratulations Card
Welcome to this month's Tech 4 Stampers Academy Blog Hop. The theme this month is For the Men. This month I decided to change the Male Birthday Card I made for another Blog Hop by using the stamps from one of our Kits to make a Male Congratulations Card. The Kit I decided to use was 'You Are My Anchor' which is a set of 5 mini cards in a box all with a nautical theme. I love using Kits as everything you need is included. In the 'You Are My Anchor' kit you get die cuts, mini stamp set, a slim...
Male or Female Birthday Cards
Welcome to this month's Ink, Stamp, Share Monthly Blog Hop. The theme this month is Pre Order. Being a demonstrator means that I get the privilege to order certain products from new catalogues before customers so I am showing you how I used the new 2023-2025 InColors to make some male or female birthday cards. Each year Stampin' Up! introduce five new colours that will be available for the next two years and replace the InColors that were introduced two years earlier. This years new InColors...
Wedding Card Using Die Cut Flowers
Welcome to this month's Ink, Stamp, Share Showcase Blog Hop. Yesterday was my son's wedding so of course I had to make a Wedding Card using die cut flowers. I decided to use the Dainty Delight Dies that are available in the Mini Catalogue and also in the NEW Annual Catalogue. Also I love that Stampin' Up! make some amazing dies that you can use without using the matching stamp set. As there was no set colour scheme I thought it would be very hard to design and make my son and his future wife a...
Using written instructions to make a Scrapbook Layout
Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop. The theme this month is: Blind Scrapping. The theme for this month has been decided by the talented Courtenay Heuston. Did you know that Blind Scrapbooking is using written instructions to make a scrapbook layout? Oh and by the way there are no pictures/images for you to follow. I have never done a scrapbook layout this way but as you all know sometimes we just need to try something outside of our comfort zone and learn a new technique or way of...
Six Various Ways to Colour
Welcome to this month's Stamptastic Friends Blog Hop. This Month's Theme is: Favourite Tool(s). As some of you know I became a Stampin' Up! demonstrator because the products coordinate so well. I thought I would show you the various ways to colour in a stamped image using the same colours but different colouring products. First I started by cutting some Basic White card stock mat layers and stamped the flower and leaf images from the Happiness Abounds stamp set. I then decided on to use the...
Something Square Scrapbook Layout
Welcome to this month's Tech 4 Stampers Academy Blog Hop. The theme this month is Something Square. When I saw the theme for this month theme was Something Square I decided that I wanted to make a scrapbook layout. It is my son's wedding in under 2 weeks so I am trying to prepare layouts ready to add photographs as soon as they are printed. Unfortunately for me the colour theme for the wedding is a secret so I decided to make black and white layouts and then add colour to match the photos. How...
