Mini calendar post it note holders




Made some of these for my boss to give a little gifts to some of her friends.  They are too cute.

SAB Lotus Blossom



Just love the new free stamp set called Lotus Blossom from Stampin Ups SAB 2015.  The inspiration for this card was taken from the very talented Claire Daly.  Thanks for the inspiration Claire.

Zig Zag Card






Hi fellow Stampers
Check out this amazing Zig Zag card that I made the other week for a special friends birthday. She loves things vintage so I kept with the neutral shades with only a splash of colour.  I was very pleased with the way it has turned out, and me friend has not gotten around to making one of these yet so this will provide the inspiration to get her started.  Double bonus..
Here is another one I made recently for a beautiful girls graduation..
I have had a lot of great response from these cards and therefore I will be holding a class in January making this style card..
Thanks for looking


Card in a Box





Hi Stampers, 

I know I can't help myself, the card in a box is my all time favourite technique.  Here I have used it with this great beer mug stamp (sorry non SU ).  I made this card for a friend yesterday without the 
21 on it though, and I think he really liked it so I decided it was worth it to make some more.  
Thought the word bubble dies from Stampin Up were a great edition to the design.  I even managed to find a little puff appliqué in my stash to make the froth more realistic.  Hope this inspires you to give it a go.  
Measurements for the card in a box size that I have used are as follows.
- start with A4 card and place on simply score horizontal across the top.
- score at 7, 14, 21, 28 cm
- turn 90 degrees and score again at 7 cm
- remove from score pal and cut at 15 cm ensuring that you measure this from the same side that you scored your last 7 cm 
- from the remainder scrap card cut a piece at 10.5 cm from the side where the 28cm score was made.
- cut this small piece in half lengthwise this will from your two bridges 
- cut with scissors on each of the score lines made on the narrower side up to the centre score line. 
- trim away the small tab before adhering the box side together.
- fold the two bridges into z shapes and apply glue before sitting them inside the box
- decorate as desired.
