{Christmas Stampathon August non Christmas COLOUR challenge}


Welcome to the...

8th Round of the
Christmas Stampathon 2019

Be inspired every month with a Christmas Challenge on the 25th of the month.

The challenge this month is to make at least 4 projects using a "Non Christmas" colour scheme.
Typically I associate the red/green/gold scheme with Chistmas and occasionally the pale blues and silvers.  It was really fun to try out a diffrent colour scheme.

When you have made your creation, please photograph it and add it to the Facebook group here.

I am joined by the 3 other demonstrators from around the world

Denise Kepple Garrison 'Lady Bug Stampin'  from America

Ellen Woodbridge  and Rosalie Desmond from Australia

These are the cards I made



Here is a video tutorial of how I made them


I really enjoyed using this new stamp set, it will be available to customers at the beginning of September.  It's called Snow Front, and it pairs beautifully with Water Front

{Stamping Sunday Blog Hop Holiday Catalogue Favourites 2019}

Hi there, welcome to my blog, today is the day of the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop, I am privileged to be a member of this inspiring group of demonstrators. Do have a look at their blogs (links further down).

Sara asked us to use our favourite product from the new Autumn /Winter Catalogue.

I have a few favourites! These masks were first on my list to get as I think they are great value for money and create lots of different looks with them.


I've used them to make a one sheet wonder using some other techniques and a die cut from the new catalogue.  I made two cards and two notebook covers from one sheet!  I decided not to add any extra embellishments or sentiments as the pattern is so detailed.



Here is the video explaining how it was all done, please contact me if you have any questions about the process.

{One Sheet Wonder - Lots of Florals}

Hi everyone,
I hope you're enjoying the summer holidays.
I'm afraid I haven't been able to film and edit videos and blog as much, so I've been going "live" on YouTube to do some stamping.  Here are the results of a session of stamping with floral stamps.







Here is the LIVE video, be warned it is quite long...


and here is a shorter sped up version.


After I created the sheets I cut them up to make these bookmarks.
