Stamping Bella - Petunia Pig Is Excited To See You Digi Stamp Set

 Hello everyone!

I have a fun card to share today made with a super stamp 


You might wonder what this card has to do with Petunia Pig but I have used the chicken from the digs stamp set - and that is the beauty of digis! - I was able to use the chicks separately and resize them.

This set is just excellent value as it has 10 individual digi stamps!  - hours of creative fun right there!


Ingredients from Stamping Bella


Other Ingredients
Lavinia Stamps - Multifarious Card 
Taylored Expressions Ink pads - Confetti Cake, Potato Chip, Cilantro

Copic Markers
Chicks - YR24, Y38, Y13, Y11, R05, YR18, C2
Specs - BG000, B00, R46, B97, R05

...just incase this is useful...
I use PowerPoint to create my digital card designs,
I have a fairly basic HP printer and I set my ink settings on draft to print, the image comes out beautifully and there isn't so much ink that it smudges or is affected by pencils/alcohol markers.

Thank you for popping along today,
Happy crafting

Stamping Bella - Irish Chicks Digi Stamp & Exciting News...

Hello friends!

I bet you didn't expect to see me back so soon! (:

Well - I'm here today to show you a card I've made with a digital stamp from wonderful Stamping Bella! 

Stamping Bella have started releasing some of their retired images as digis, it is almost too exciting!

...almost as exciting as being asked by lovely Elaine to join their new Digital Design Team. 

I am over the moon - if you have followed me for a while you will know how much I adore Stamping Bella and how thrilled I have been over the years to occasionally Guest Design for them.

Being part of their exciting new venture is amazing - I might just combust! (:

Stamping Bella Uptown Girl Loves to Perform & Spellbinders Shine Bright

 Hello everyone,

Well - I am rather late to the 2026 party with my first card of the year!

I have been making cards, just not sharing them here!

I have also very excitedly joined Bonny Snowdon's Academy which is an amazing Pencil Drawing Course.  I am really enjoying it!  You may see more of that from me as the year progresses.

Anyways - here I am today to show you two cards.

I must say a MASSIVE thank you though to my lovely friend Elaine (Marker Geek).

I was inspired to make these cards after I saw one Elaine had made.  I just fell more than a little in love with it. - and what's more, the card style is perfect for two lovely girls - my friend Lyn's Grandaughters!

So with Elaine's approval, I made two cards which I am sharing with you today! - and oh my, I had the best card making fun I'd had in ages!
