One of the saddest things for me about the end of the 2012-13 Stampin’ Up! catalogue was the retirement of the Two by Two stamp.  I loved that stamp for making baby cards!

There is another gorgeous baby one to replace it though (Fishin’ Around on p58 of the new catalogue).  Stay tuned – I may have to buy that one!

I wanted to show you a couple of the cards I made using Two by Two:

IMG_1400IMG_1399As well as being a super cute stamp, this is a good example of how a single image in a frame can work really well as a feature.

I used my Labels collection framelits to cut the background shapes.   The pink card is a good example of how you can use these framelits to make borders for added depth.

Thanks for reading.

My last post confessed to a slightly unhealthy obsession with the Stampin’ Up! pinwheel die.    I wanted to use this post to show you how I’ve been using up some of my scrap paper with the pinwheel die and the odd toothpick.

photo-3In this card I’ve used some Tangerine Tango card stock, a scrap of paper from some Sycamore Street DSP and Tangerine Tango ribbon from the recent Sale-a-bration promotion, plus an Itty Bitty Banner stamped and cut out with the matching framelit.    The toothpick is stuck on the back of the pinwheel using a Glue Dot and the pinwheel is stuck to the Whisper White card stock using a dimensional.

Here’s a similar card with 3 pinwheels:

And a little 7cm x 7cm matching love note I used to go with the card when I gift wrapped the present for the recipient of the card:

I think I like the ‘single pinwheel’ design best – what do you think?

Thanks for reading 🙂
