I've made a few slimline cards but I'm pretty sure I've always taken the easy option of using 12" x 12" paper. However today I decided to try make this simple Sunday project using paper that's pre-cut at 6" x 6". Whenever I design a card I always decorate the inside and the accompanying envelope, and doing all that with one single 6” x 6” sheet of paper would be a challenge. I managed it though and the result was this birthday card using the Celebrate With Tags Stamp Set. 6x6 PAPER ... VIEW POST
Simply Marbleous Satin Paper
Well yesterday was interesting. Hubby was out with the snowblower for more than 5 hours trying to clear our driveway after the snowstorm. While the wind scrubbed some areas, in others we had snowdrifts up to 5 feet deep. The road was just as bad, making for challenging conditions for the snowplow driver. But with the sunshine revealing the patterns carved in the snow by the wind I was reminded of the free Simply Marbleous 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP). So that's what I wanted to ... VIEW POST
So Grateful Today With Ornate Thanks
Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian followers and friends. I hope you're able to celebrate today in some way. While most of us enjoy a welcome day off, not everyone is so lucky. I'm thinking particularly of all the medical and emergency workers who will spend their day doing their job as usual while the rest of us relax. And it's not just those who are officially employed in those roles who deserve our thanks. Living in rural Nova Scotia we look to our volunteer fire department for ... VIEW POST
Peaceful Moments With Blackberry Beauty DSP
After yesterday's Post-It Note® project I wanted to create something much more colourful today. As luck would have it, over the weekend I received an e-mail from the Paper Players with their latest design challenge. Their Color Challenge PP558 included some of my favourite colours that reminded me of the Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). So with the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set added to my desk I set to work creating this elegant birthday card. BLACKBERRY BEAUTY ... VIEW POST
Tidings & Trimmings First Project
I had to work unexpectedly on Friday and Saturday which was a shame as my latest Stampin' Up! order was due. It was here when I got home Friday but I had no time to play until today. So when I was thinking of a Simple Sunday project I couldn't help but reach for the new stuff. In the end the Tidings & Trimmings Stamp Set and coordinating Tidings of Christmas paper provided the inspiration I needed. TIDINGS OF CHRISTMAS The Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) is a pack ... VIEW POST
Christmas Cards Don’t Come Much Easier Than This
It's the last day of August and the seasons are definitely changing in the garden. But while autumn settles in I still need to think ahead if I'm to get all my Christmas plans done. So I wanted to come up with some quick and easy card ideas. These cards will all use no more than a quarter of a 12" x 12" sheet of Designer Series Paper (DSP). Why a quarter? well that means I can get 4 cards from each sheet, or 48 cards from a complete pack of DSP. It also gives me the option of using 6" x 6" ... VIEW POST
