Pop Up Stage Card

One of my lovely stamp class ladies loaned me this cute polar bear die and straight away I thought of Kim Scores pop up stage technique here. The trees are from a retired set and the greeting is from Heard From The Heart. So much fun to make, everyone who sees it loves it...

For teh front of the card I used one of the trees from Lovely as a Tree to make the branches and the baubles are from Tree Trimmings

Christmas in July with Tree Trimmings

I have mixed both traditional and non traditional colours for this Xmas card... Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler and Marina Mist. The tree branch is from a retired set, baubles are from Tree Trimmings, the greeting is from Snow swirled and the ribbon is from my stash...I have about 30 metres of this blue organza I am trying to use up!

Love You Much

Happy New Year everyone, I for one was so happy to see the end of 2010...it was a shocking year for us and I am hoping and praying 2011 will bring better things!!

My first card for the year is a nice easy one suitable for Valentines Day. I have used two of the bugs from Bugs and Kisses stamped in Early Expresso and the Heart is from I Heart hearts. The greeting is one of the lovely swirly words from Well Scripted. I have used Baja Breeze, Crumbcake, Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White as my colour combo.
I was just looking through some of my posts and realised how plain my cards are...so if I was to describe my style I would have to say plain and simple...and do you want to know why??? ha!
A. I am a tight wad and hate using too many supplies on my cards...I buy nice things and save them "for good"...and do you know what happens when you do that???They go out of fashion.. so that when you DO get around to using them they look out dated and daggy
B. I hate clutter..it makes me feel claustrophobic
C. I can't afford lots of new things so I have to make do with what I have
D. I am bone lazy! I don't like doing things that take too long
So there you go, I have bared my soul....so what is YOUR style and why?

Tree Trimmings Card

Hi all, I have just spent most of the day cutting up for my upcoming stamp a stack classes...enough for 270 cards...sheesh!! Thankfully one of my lovely class ladies came to lend me a hand...thankyou Christine. This is one of the cards we will be making. I have used Holly Jolly designer paper and the stamp sets are Tree Trimmings (great set for just $24.95!) , sentiment from contempo Christmas and the swirl from Boroque Motifs...which is my most used stamp of all time. Will share the other two when my camera battery is charged.
