This card was sent to me by a lovely lady in the U.S. with whom I did a swap. She has a great blog so check it out HERE

Easy Thank You Cards

This card was very easy to make and I made quite a few of them at once so I would have some on hand when needed. The image is from Greetings Galore stamped in Basic Black and coloured with pastels and a blender pen. I simply cut the Whisper White cardstock to be just a little larger than the wood block of the stamp. It’s really easy then to position the stamp directly over the card stock and centre the image. I then cut some Bordering Blue a little larger again for the layer. The card base is 1/4 of and A4 sheet. This way you get four cute little cards, just big enough for a thank you note.

Stamps: Greetings Galore
Inks: Basic Black, Stampin’ Pastels (chalks)
Card stock: Whisper White, Orchid Opulence and Bordering Blue
Accessories: None!
Tools: Blender Pen




This card was also very easy to make and has no layers so it’s very economical as far as using your card stock. The elephant and flower are from Wild About You and the Thank You stamp is from a hostess set called Warmest Regards. I inked the elephant in Going Grey and then pressed him up against my Weathered background stamp to create some texture. I was trying to get him to look wrinkled. I think it worked out ok. Each time I stamped the elephant he looked a little different which was pretty neat! I inked the flower with Bold Brights markers and stamped it over the trunk. I stamped the thank you in Real Red ink.

Stamps: Wild About You, Warmest Regards, Weathered
Inks: Going Grey, Real Red, Bold Brights Markers
Card stock: Whisper White
Accessories: None

I'm back...kinda...

Hi everyone,
I'm so sorry this blog has been so neglected. I have the best of intentions but...I have been really sick for the last few weeks. I am suffering a bad case of pregnancy nausea! (Yay but not yay at the same time)
I hope to be well enough soon to stamp something to put on the blog for you all. At the moment I'm just focussing on getting through this Saturday at the big Christmas workshop at Carina.
Here's a sneak peak of some of the cards we'll be doing that day. Perhaps I'll be able to post the instructions for them later as a tutorial. Should be lots of fun!


These 2 cards above were designed by my wonderful upline Liz.

This card was CASEd from "stamptramp72's" gallery on SplitcoastStampers.

takin' a break

Hi everyone. I must apologise for my unannounced "break" from blogging. No excuse really other than I haven't had the enthusiasm and/or time to stamp anything much lately for the blog. At one point I was working on some place cards for a wedding and have now managed to stamp a few things in the last few days that I will post on here ASAP. Just need to get my chief photographer on the job to take some nice piccies for me!
Thanks for your patience and I promise to be a better blogger!
Bec.

Ray's birthday

Just a quick post to show you the birthday card I stamped for my brother-in-law's birthday. My hubby Matt actually "designed" the card by telling me what he wanted me to do. Ray's nickname is Hopper so we went with the grasshopper stamp from "Bugs & Kisses" and used the Hoppy Birthday sentiment from ""Unfrogettable". The grass along the bottom is the "Daisy Field" stampin' around wheel.



Stamps: Bugs & Kisses, Unfrogettable, Daisy Field
Inks: Old Olive, Really Rust, Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue
Papers: Old Olive, Whisper White
Accessories: Sponge
