Thank you mini card with wraparound scene created using drawn water and the Enjoy Life Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Enjoy Life and playing with ink

July 16, 2018 4 Comments

It's funny how often something I did in school many years ago sparks an experiment in my craft studio. They're not always successful, but earlier in the week I created a really fun background that was just perfect for my Design Team contribution for this week's What Will You Stamp/ Challenge #WWYS177 - Enjoy Life. As luck would have it the Just Us Girls Challenge this week is #JUGS449 - Watercolour Background, and the Global Design Project challenge this week is #GDP147 - Country / Farm Life, ... VIEW POST

Five bookmarks featuring a girl holding a stack of books created using the Hand Delivered Stamp Set and all 50 Stampin Write Marker colours from Stampin' Up!

Stampin’ Up! colours

July 15, 2018 2 Comments

Last month Stampin' Up! revamped their colour offering and we now have 50 different colours sorted into 5 different collections (I'm lumping both sets of current In Colors together here). With the free ink pad offer for anyone who decides to join Stampin' Up! in July I've seen a number of people debating which set they should opt for.  All 5 colour families have great colours, and so for today's simple Sunday project I thought it would be fun to use all 50 Stampin' Write Markers so that you ...

Blue PS I Love You Card created using the Large Letters Framelits and Thoughtful Banners Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

P. S. Large Letters

July 14, 2018 2 Comments

Every now and then I get a bit guilty about some of the Stampin' Up! products I have that haven't seen a great deal of use, and today was one of those days.  As I was looking through my new stamp sets for inspiration I picked up Beautiful Promenade and noticed a little P.S. stamp.  While I didn't end up using that stamp set on today's project it certainly influenced it in a big way. As you can probably imagine I began this project with my Big Shot and Magnetic Platform, using it to cut ... VIEW POST

Thank you card with three single flowers created using the Colorful Seasons Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

What a morning!

July 13, 2018 10 Comments

I suppose being Friday the 13th I shouldn't complain too much, but I've just had a morning where everything was just that little bit more difficult that it should be.  It started with an e-mail from UPS telling me that my latest order from Stampin' Up! which was routed via Richmond, BC (don't ask me why) has spent the past week stuck in customs.  Instead of being delivered to me yesterday it's now not due until next Thursday!  So much for spending the weekend playing with the new limited edition ...

Masculine hugs card created using the Hedgehugs Stamp Set, Wood Textures paper and copper trim from Stampin' Up!

Masculine Hedgehugs

July 12, 2018 2 Comments

Well today's project isn't at all what I thought I'd be showing you.  I had plans for floral panels using images from the Hedgehugs Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!  I'd even decided on the pretty ribbon I'd use, but somehow instead I ended up with a really minimalist masculine card. Not that it's a bad thing, many people including me, find masculine cards challenging to make, so to end up with one by accident is a real bonus. To make this this card I started with a piece of Thick Very ... VIEW POST

Christmas card featuring a heavily embossed Cable Knit background, pretty pines die-cut pieces and a sentiment from the Snowflake Sentiments Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Christmas in July

July 11, 2018 2 Comments

Next week in my regular monthly papercraft class our theme will be Christmas In July and I've been putting together some new designs using old, but still available, Stampin' Up! products. The first set I grabbed was the Snowflake Sentiments Stamp Set, which has some lovely large sentiments as well as smaller sentiments that could be used on the inside of a card.  It also has some great coordinating images. One particular sentiment "Wrapped in the warmth of Christmas' caught my eye and from ... VIEW POST

Kindness card created using the Waterfront Stamp Set and Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

Another tropical escape

July 10, 2018 2 Comments

Like many of you I've been glued to the news about the 12 boys and their soccer coach trapped deep inside a flooded cave system in Thailand.  Over the past two days 8 boys have been rescued, and as I write this post the process of getting the remaining 5 people out is already underway. This drama has captured the attention of the world and there are hundreds of people involved in helping to ensure that this story has a happy ending.  Some have travelled from across the globe to assist the ...

Animal Outing meets Tropical Chic

July 9, 2018 2 Comments

This week the What Will You Stamp? Challenge features the Animal Outing Stamp Set.  I received this stamp set for free at a Stampin' Up! event I attended in April and I've had a lot of fun creating projects with it.  Free and discounted products are one of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, and right now Stampin' Up! has an amazing joining offer.  For more information about joining my team of Crafty Canadians contact me via the 'Get In Touch' link in the bar at the top of the page. ...

Simple black and white thank you card created using the Bee Thankful Stamp from Stampin' Up!

Bee Thankful

July 8, 2018 2 Comments

I've been having a lot of fun experimenting with projects created using a single Stampin' Up! colour (plus a neutral).  Yesterday I focused on Blueberry Bushel, before that it was Blackberry Bliss, and before that it was Shaded Spruce. For today's simple Sunday project though I thought it would be fun to go even simpler and create a thank you card using only black and white. I mounted the Bee Thankful Stamp from Stampin' Up! onto my Stamparatus stamp positioning platform and inked it ... VIEW POST

Thinking of you card created using the Beautiful Promenade Stamp Set and coordinating Beautiful Layers Thinlits Dies from Stampin' Up!

Beautiful Promenade

July 7, 2018 10 Comments

Yesterday I was searching for something entirely different when I came across a box of mini chocolates that I'd purchased last year in Amsterdam.  The colours inspired me in my papercrafting this morning, and as I know I don't have any windmill images I pulled out the Beautiful Promenade Stamp Set instead. I began by looking for an appropriate blue ink.  Blueberry Bushel ink was a bit dark, but Bashful Blue was too light.  To solve my problem I stamped the sentiment and separate blue ... VIEW POST
