Eastern Palace Magic Wallet

Hello and welcome to my blog.

It's kind of way-back Wednesday today. I'm revisiting a Magic Wallet - something I first made over a year ago. This time I sized it to fit a gift card and used products from the current catalogue. Here's the front (or the back) -

Here's the inside -

And here's the back (or front)

This sort of gift card holder is lots of fun to play with and as long as you follow the steps carefully it's quite straightforward to make.

Here's the tutorial -

Versamark Resist

Hello bloggers and welcome.

Sometimes, I get excited about little things, like the glossy card in the new Stampin' Up! catalogue. Yes, really, plain, white, shiny card. Let me tell you why!

When I first started rubberstamping, I read everything I could get my hands on to learn techniques and tricks and some of the techniques need a glossy card as your base. I've been refreshing my memory of these techniques and I'm going to be showcasing them over the next few weeks.

One of the first techniques I tried when I began stamping was Versamark resist stamping. It creates a beautiful, subtle effect that's great for creating backgrounds - like in this card in shades of green.

It's very easy to do. Here's how–

So what do you think - are you going to try it? Let me know!

Thank you for visiting- see you again soon...

Tranquil Tulips Notecards & Box

Hello bloggists, and thank you for visiting today.

One of the Stampin'Up! products I make sure I always have handy are the Notecards. You get 20, plus envelopes, in a package so they are very cost-effective. They're ready cut to size - I like to use them for make and takes at workshops because they are quick and easy to decorate. They come in Whisper White and in Very Vanilla (new this season). Package up a few of them in a cute notecase and you've got a quick gift.

Tranquil Tulips is fast becoming one of my favourite sets. It's one of the Host Rewards sets - which means you can only get it if your order value is more than £150 (and qualifies for free products to the value of 10% of your order)

This is a really Tranquil project because I used Tranquil Tide cardstock as well (I love the word tranquil...it sounds like what it means). The DSP is from the Delightful Daisy stack.

Here's the video -
