Phoenix Inspirations

  It's been a while since I last posted: my health is not all I'd like it to be and looking after mum has meant somethings have been neglected. However when I have had the chance to craft - I have! Sometimes it's been early in the morning and sometimes it's been late at night but I have crafted! So here are a few cards I recently made So this started out as a sheet of A4 Daffodil Delight card stock. Various flowers were stamped in White Craft Ink and then the details over stamped with pink inks. green leaves were added along with ribbon and sentiments. It's good to be back - J xx

 So, after I had made my cards yesterday I finished them off by stamping on the inside. This is something I have neglected to do for a while so I am making a conscious effort to do so now. Just a sentiment and a bit of floral stamping is all that's needed Don't forget your envelopes either - just think how excited someone would be recieving an envelope in the post that's been hand stamped And then on the back of your card you could stamp (or write) who the card has been hand stamped by. Don't forget that if you are selling a handmade card that has used Stampin' Up products it should also carry the Stampin' Up logo These are just extra little touches you can add to your cards to make them more professional which is great if you sell them at craft fairs - also means that if they love your work they can find you again to order more! Thanks for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx

 Hello - how are you? I do hope you are feeling safe and well. Today's post is all about my Facebook Live from yesterday. I did a one sheet wonder using a sheet of A4 card stock. This was cut up to make four A6 cards. I used my new set Art Gallery and the not so new All Things Fabulous - here are my cards The one sheet wonder is created by stamping multiple images on to the A4 card stock - mine started like this I had great fun stamping this as you can see in the video and if you take a look at the last card with the ribbon you will see how this was nearly a disaster - I was quite pleased with the way I managed to save it! Art Gallery is part of the Fine Art Floral suite in the Mini Catalogue and All Things Fabulous is in the Annual Catalogue - both can be found in my side tab.
