ATSM - Addicted to {Stamps} #6


Hi everyone, the challenge this week at Addicted to Stamps and More is - STAMPS ... create a project using digi, clear or rubber stamps.

For my DT card, I wanted to use only stamps (and ink of course! - no DP or die-cuts) so I used the Craftwork Cards "Elegant" set with TH distress inks for stamping and distressing - I enjoyed playing!

Our generous sponsor for this challenge is Joanna Munster of Inspired by Stamping who is offering a wonderful prize for our Top Addict this week - a $20 gift voucher to be used in-store!

Please do check out the fabulous inspiration from the other members of the DT and sponsors at ATSM. Why not get out your stamps and inks and have some fun - we look forward to seeing your gorgeous stamped creations!

Thank you so much for visiting.

Addicted to CAS #7 - Masculine


Hi everybody, the new fortnightly challenge at Addicted to CAS is - MASCULINE - make a card for a man in your life!


One of the elements of a CAS card should be that it's easy to replicate and that's what I wanted to do with my DT card which simply consists of a strip of Bo Bunny paper and two stamped images (HOTP Masculine Collage).

We have a fabulous sponsor for this challenge - Annabelle Stamps - who will be generously awarding our CAS Perfectionist a $10 discount voucher to be used in-store.

Please do check out all the brilliant DT inspiration over at ATCAS and we look forward to seeing your fabulous mens/boys cards.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog.

Addicted to Stamps and More Theme Challenge - Vintage



Hello everyone, we have a theme challenge - VINTAGE - at Addicted to Stamps and More this week.

For my DT card, the main stamped rose image is from an old Roses set by PSX which I stamped with grey Versafine, coloured and distressed with TH distress inks. I made the matte by stamping with a script stamp and another little rose stamp from the set to make a background and it seemed an ideal opportunity to use my Marianne lacy corner die.

Our generous sponsor Joanna Munster of Inspired by Stamping is offering a wonderful prize for our Top Addict this week - $20 gift voucher to be used in-store!

Please do check out all the wonderful DT vintage inspiration here and we look forward to seeing all your gorgeous creations. Have fun!

Hi everyone, the challenge at Less Is More this week is to make a one layer card with some reference to music.

CAS - Colours and Sketches #11


Hi everybody, and a big hello to new members, Kristie and Maureen.

This week at CAS - Colours and Sketches it's a colour challenge ...


I was hoping to make two cards today as I haven't blogged anything since Tuesday, but time seems not to have allowed me to do so ... was out this morning at coffee morning, a friend called round this afternoon (which was nice) and the supermarket food delivery arrived ... hey ho - there's always this evening ...

My card was made with Memory Box dies. I used SU! Perfect Plum card and substituted some kraft and cream card from my stash for the other two colours. I wasn't sure whether to edge the main image with the Plum or Kraft - I settled for the Plum as I think it makes the flowers "pop" more.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
