Masculine birthday card created using the inked embossing folder technique with the Seabed 3D Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Seabed Texture For A Masculine Birthday

February 24, 2021 Leave a Comment

Way back in early October I set myself a challenge to mark World Card Making Day. I would try to design and make from scratch 24 cards and coordinating envelopes in 24 hours. It was a tough challenge as always but one I really enjoy. If you followed my Facebook page at the time you'd have seen ... VIEW POST

Poppy gift tag created using "thanks" from the Well Written Dies and True Love paper from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Thanks Well Written On A Tag

February 23, 2021 Leave a Comment

Isn't it funny how you can get really excited about a set of dies but then don't make the most of them. This has happened many times and I'm determined to revisit each and every set. Yesterday while I was making a batch of gift tags I was trying to make each one different. Different images, ... VIEW POST

Many Messages So Choose What You Want

There's less than a week left to take advantage of Sale-A-Bration and get free products. I think of all the free products offered, my favourite has to be the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper (DSP). I love the bold flowers and bright colours that seem so cheerful, and I know I'm not alone. ... VIEW POST

Simple jam jar wrap and top created using the free Berry Delightful paper from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Too Early For Berry Jam Making?

February 21, 2021 Leave a Comment

It's still very much winter here in Nova Scotia with a couple of fresh inches of snow on the ground. It looks so pretty now that the sun is out with very few clouds in the blue sky. It is chilly though. But today I'm feeling positive, thinking ahead to when things start growing in the garden ... VIEW POST

Thank You Snow Much Alyssa

February 20, 2021 Leave a Comment

Whatever else I have to do, I still manage to have a daily chat with my daughter and granddaughter in the UK. Although she's only 10 Alyssa loves papercrafting and takes a keen interest in my creations. Yesterday we were taking about the recent freezing rain, and the snow that's forecast for ... VIEW POST

"Always be yourself" bookmark created using the Hey Girlfriend Stamp Set and Watercolor Pencils from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Try Watercolour Pencils With A Blender Pen

February 19, 2021 Leave a Comment

I love colouring with a variety of materials, and experimenting with new techniques. Take watercolour pencils for instance. Did you know that you can get different looks with watercolour pencils? The most common way I see people use them is to colour, and then 'activate' the pigment with water. ... VIEW POST

Rediscovering Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder

It won't be long before the Stampin' Up! 2020/2021 Annual Catalogue comes to an end. I really don't mind as the 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue is bound to be full of amazing new things. But it does mean I also have to accept the inevitable list of products that are to be retired. So now I've started ... VIEW POST

"Just for you" tag with undersea scene and fishing hook inspired sentiment, created using the Whale Of A Time paper from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Fishing For Another Fun Tag Idea

February 17, 2021 Leave a Comment

Today's fun fishing-themed "just for you" tag comes courtesy of a customer's comment. I made a card a couple of days ago featuring an umbrella where the handle was punched from silver foil sheet. She commented that at first glance she thought I'd used a paper clip and it got me thinking... What ... VIEW POST

Hello From A Mystery Stamping Project

February 16, 2021 2 Comments

Last week I experienced a new crafting concept, "mystery stamping', with my friend Cathy Miller. This is where you are given a list of materials and tools, plus measurements to cut the various pieces. But what you're not given at this stage is a photo or sketch of the finished project. Then, over ... VIEW POST

Whale This Could Get Me In Trouble

February 15, 2021 Leave a Comment

Today has been one of those frustrating mornings. Due to our very slow rural internet service I set a video to upload to YouTube overnight. Unfortunately when I came down this morning it had crashed and I had to start all over again. Then as I was trying to upload today's Whale Done! project the ... VIEW POST
