Granmargarets cards-n-stuff

Welcome to my blog

I started this blog in April 2012 so I could join Challenges. I am now on some design teams. I hope you like my cards. I started stamping in 1995 but my cards are still mostly cute.

Thank you to those who have joined as followers and to those who comment.

Unfortunately because of spammers I have had to put moderation on the comments. I will approve them as soon as possible, this also means I don't miss any.

I don't always get a chance to reply to all comments but I read them all when I approve them and I really appreciate you taking the time to give your comment.

The lovely banner was made especially for me by Amanda at Faery Ink Art & Design when I won her first blog challenge. 2025 - Now due to my sore hands and bad eyes I make mostly digital cards and scrapbook pages.

The Paper Shelter 666 - Embossing Wet or Dry

The Paper Shelter 666 - Embossing Wet or Dry
https://thepapershelter.blogspot.com/

I made handmade cards for many years and I have many embossing folders which I used with my Cuttlebug. I also did lots of heat embossing. But unfortunately I can no longer make handmade cards due to my sore hands and bad eyes so I have used embossed papers on my card.

I layered The Paper Shelter precoloured digi stamp from the Ballerina stamp set onto three embossed papers from Digital Artistry Ballerina collection by Silvia Romeo
Added ballet shoes and flowers from same collection
