I can't believe it is Sunday already, where has the weekend gone! I went out of my comfort zone today and did some simple stamping - I'm not good at this, I always want to do more, but today I managed to "stop" before I added elements! I've used the Sweetly Swirled stamp set for this card, it's new in the 2019-2020 Catalogue, I was immediately drawn to the sentiment, particularly the font. On closer inspection, it's a really cute fun set, perfect for this quick fun card. Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my project.

It's the last Friday of the month, that means it's Ink it! Stamp it! time again. This month we are sharing Kids/Male themed inspiration. I will be the first to say male themed cards don't come easy, kid's are a little easier, especially when you have a beautiful stamp set like Leave a Little Sparkle (I can't get enough of that unicorn themed set at the moment) - today I've used Seaside Notions to create an " Under the sea" card. Most males I know like the sea and fishing, and our child has always loved going to the beach, we even started snorkelling  a couple of summers ago, and near the jetty we saw sea horses! To create the raised front I sponged a mix of Mint Macaron, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point on a piece of Coastal Cabana, then cut an oval for the peek-a-boo stamped images to be stamped on the Bermuda Bay base. When I was happy with the sponging I embossed with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder then sp...

Welcome to this month's Stampers Showcase Blog hop featuring 3D themed projects, this is going to be such a fun hop!  I do love the challenge of creating a 3D project, and this one was.... my first 2 attempts I totally miscalculated the centre where the image would be stamped, it was a total fail, but try and try again, I got the measurements correct and my Shadow Box was created,  I'm so glad a persevered ! I'm really giving this new set a work out, and my rainbow coloured inks too; this is my 2nd project this week featuring the Leave a Little Sparkle stamp set, it's so hard not to use it as it is just gorgeous! I used a 12 x 12 (20 cm x 30cm) sheet of Whisper White card stock to create this Shadow Box, I changed up the dimensions from another project so that I could incorporate the beautiful swirl as a feature on the frame of the Shadow Box.  I sponge a rainbow of colour into the middle of the sheet, then flicked with a little water to crea...
