Teddy scraps

I found this Teddy Bear already stamped on some leftover scrap card after hosting a card making session with friends. So I took the opportunity to have a go at colouring it in and making a card with it, using predominantly spares from my ‘scrap’ box. I am a little bit in love with my Sizzix Tattered Florals die so has to add a flower arrangement myself. I struggled with getting the card size right and finished with an abstract 15x16cm, looks like a custom envelope is next on the agenda! 

Birthday Bundle

A work colleague of mine has just celebrated her 21st Birthday and I wanted to do something a bit special for her and ended up with a complete matching set! (I might have got just a 'bit' carried away) ...

I designed the candle first, with inspiration from 'We Stamp for Lara' (see previous post) and totally fell in love with the colour scheme so felt inspired to keep going.

Of course any gift needs a card so I made one to match.

One of the presents I am giving her is her very own batch of my infamous caramel slice (all to herself!) so naturally there needed to be a tag to go with that.

And finally (although not shown here) is a *secret* recipe card that I made with the 'from the kitchen of' stamp set which goes with a new pan so she can make this herself. Pretty lucky lady to be getting my special recipe (wink).

I loved creating these gifts and hope she loves it as much as I do.




This tag is so appropriate 'Just for you ... so you don't have to share'!!




I love this candle ... I want one now!! haha

I am officially addicted to stamping on candles. I saw a tutorial for this technique on 'We Stamp for Lara' and have had a ball creating a variety of designs. Want to know how to makes these? Click here to be directed to Madonna Dunn's blog.

I made the Season's Greetings candle first then moved on to the Xmas Kangaroo once I realised how easy it was!
