Spirited snowmen.

Here I have combined the  retired holly wheel stamp with the new Spirited Snowman set.

I used Stickles Ruby Slippers glitter glue on the holly berries.

Absolutely nothing difficult  about this one so no need for explanations.

Chameleon Card

I dragged out some old retired S.U. stamp sets for this card... The friendship wheel stamp and white craft ink were used to create the wordy  background strip, which was then stitched to a layer of vanilla card stock using a zigzag stitch.

The card stock used was S.U. Elegant Eggplant, although in this photo it looks more like the retired Concorde Crush and in another photo it looks  like Night of Navy, so I am calling this a my Chameleon  card.
The Sentiment stamp is from the stamp set called  "From my heart" and stamped onto vanilla card stock in Elegant  Eggplant  ink.

Here's a blast from the past.

The stamp I used on this card is one of the  long since retired Stampin' round wheel stamps.
I can't remember the name of this one,  it's been and awful long time since I've used it.
I used Copic markers to colour the eggs.



If you've never seen the wheel stamps here is a photo on the one I used.

You buy the wheel and handles separately, the wheel stamp clicks into the handle and out again so you can change the wheels easily.

You can also buy ink cartridges that slot into the handles, which  means you can roll that wheel around your whole house without running out ink if you desire.  I personally don't recommend you do that though.
It is quite handy to have an ink cartridge or two for larger projects.


I used an ink pad for this project as I only needed small  pieces for these cards.

Stippled Blossoms

I never tire of this stamp set,  it 's so  versatile, it's  suitable for many occasions, makes great backgrounds as well as great focal poinst and looks so very different when stamped in different colours.  That's why it's my all time favourite stamp set.  

It's still available from Stampin' up so if you love this set, buy before the new catalogue comes out in the summer. I am certainly NOT  saying this set will be retired. but I cannot say it won't be either.  I'd hate for anyone to miss out on this set.

inks used on this card

The background paper was created with a  stampin' round wheel stamp,  think it's called vine leaf but wouldn't swear to that.  It's retired now so it will be pretty hard to get hold of now.
