Large congratulations gift tag created using the Colorful Seasons Stamp Set and coordinating Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies from Stampin' Up!

Colorful Seasons Colourful Tag

January 21, 2019 2 Comments

This week the What Will You Stamp? challenge is WWYS203 Colorful Seasons. This is a stamp set I haven't used in a little while and it was nice to revisit it. It also gave me an excuse to use the Grapefruit Grove Foil Sheet that I chose as my free Sale-A-Bration product with my last order. COLORFUL SEASONS As we're battening down the hatches for a big winter storm, I dream of warmer weather. Well less stormy at least. So I decided to create a large gift tag with pretty florals in ...

Simple bookmark with Celebrate Every Tiny Victory sentiment from the Vibrant Vases Stamp Set and vase and flowers from the Varied Vases Stamp Sets, both from Stampin' Up!

Every Tiny Victory

January 20, 2019 Leave a Comment

As I mentioned yesterday we are expecting a powerful storm to hit us sometime today. In fact as you're reading this we might be in the thick of it. So I thought it would be prudent to try to get a few projects made ahead of time. With that done, I'm hoping to get the blog posts written just in case we lose power. If I can get today and tomorrow done before that happens I will consider that a victory. So for today I have a Simple Sunday project for you, this pretty bookmark. A SIMPLE ... VIEW POST

Get well card with 'Sending healing thoughts your way' sentiment from the Well Said Stamp Set and roses from Tea Together from Stampin' Up!

Roses and Lace

January 19, 2019 2 Comments

Today I had planned a fun day in my craft studio, creating more projects to inspire you. Unfortunately before I can do that we need to prepare for a big winter storm that is heading our way. We may not get a whole lot of snow but an ice storm is a distinct possibility. That means we could lose power at some point. So while I get myself organised, here's a quick get well card with pretty roses for you. TEA ROSES I've no idea why there's a group of roses called tea roses, but I do ... VIEW POST

Simple sepia thinking of you card created using the Wonderful Romance Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Wonderful New Stamp Set

January 18, 2019 8 Comments

I'm slowly working my way through my new stamp sets and having so much fun. When I first saw the Wonderful Romance Stamp Set I knew it was destined to be mine. The simple line art images are just begging to be coloured and I will certainly do that. In fact I've already seen lots of beautifully coloured samples on Pinterest. For my first project I thought I'd avoid the colours and keep it quite simple. So I chose two colours of card and one colour of ink. The result was a quiet, thinking ... VIEW POST

Fishing themed bookmark with The Best Catch Ever sentiment created using the Best Catch Stamp Set and coordinating Catch of the Day Thinlits Dies from Stampin' Up!

What A Catch

January 17, 2019 2 Comments

I'm always on the lookout for stamp sets and other products with a masculine feel. That's not to say they can't be used on projects for the ladies but they're less fussy and flowery. I am also drawn to products that reflect the area in which I live, Nova Scotia, Canada. So I'm more into fishing and woods than cactus and tropical beaches. So you can imagine my delight when I saw the new Best Catch Stamp Set. TESTING THE WATERS When I get a new stamp set I often start with a sort of ... VIEW POST

Just A Note card featuring a watercoloured rooster from the free Home to Roost Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Home To Roost

January 16, 2019 Leave a Comment

There are so many wonderful free products in the 2019 Sale-A-Bration Brochure that it's taking me a while to get to them. This morning I decided to ink up the Home To Roost Stamp Set. It's a 6 piece cling mount set with four useful sentiments plus great rooster and grass images. I have a few different ideas for this set but for my first project I thought I'd keep it fairly simple. HOME TO ROOST Obviously I had to start with that rooster. Using Cajun Craze ink I stamped him onto a ... VIEW POST

Just for you card with adaptation of the black magic technique using Delightfully Detailed Laser-cut Paper coloured using Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.

Adapted Black Magic Technique

January 15, 2019 2 Comments

My regular blog readers will probably know that I love playing with my Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. I'm not an artist by any means, but I've found them easy to use and achieve nice results. Over the past year I've been collecting Stampin' Blends and finally have all the colours currently available. So to celebrate I decided to use an adaptation of the black magic technique to create a card just for you. BLACK MAGIC TECHNIQUE The usual way I've seen the black magic technique used ... VIEW POST

Beautiful Promenade for #WWYS202

January 14, 2019 2 Comments

After taking a week off, the What Will You Stamp? Challenge is back with a new challenge today. This week we've gone back to the Annual Catalogue for WWYS202 - Beautiful Promenade. I've had this set for quite a while and to be honest haven't used it nearly enough. So while I check out the other ideas over on the What Will You Stamp? blog, here's my contribution to the Design Team gallery. SHADES OF GREEN I began my project with a search for some pretty but calming paper for the ... VIEW POST

#SimpleStamping Valentine (2 versions)

January 13, 2019 Leave a Comment

At a recent Stampin' Up! event Demonstrators were challenged to go back to basics. To consciously create projects that were easy for casual crafters to do using minimal supplies. It's something that I've been trying to do every week with my Simple Sunday projects. Throughout 2019 Stampin' Up! will set a monthly challenge and in February it's #simplestamping Valentine. As well as stamps, ink and paper, this month we could also include a punch. I took up the challenge and is what I ... VIEW POST

For you card with horse head image and trees from the Let it Ride Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Let It Ride – My First Horse

January 12, 2019 Leave a Comment

Yesterday I had three parcels in transit from Stampin' Up! Two had a single item in and one was my big order from the 2019 Occasions Catalogue. Two parcels got held up at the border, but not the big one!! So I've got lots of new goodies to play with starting with Let It Ride. THE HORSE I'm not an artist by any stretch of the imagination, which is why I love stamping. I chose to start with the horse head image stamped with the help of my Stamparatus onto Very Vanilla Card using Crumb ... VIEW POST
