Ta Ta Tag Topper Punches

March 28, 2022 Leave a Comment

Although I’ve recovered from the cold symptoms I experienced with my recent COVID infection, I still have some lingering side-effects. Most annoying for me is a foggy brain. It’s improving, however not quickly enough for me. So crafting is my release and I’m enjoying revisiting products and techniques I haven’t used in a while. Today’s project was an experiment using an alcohol ink technique on clear window sheet. I liked the results so much I turned it into a bookmark using the retiring Fancy ... VIEW POST

Sailing Away On An Alcohol Ink Background

July 21, 2021 2 Comments

Over the past couple of days I've been playing in my craft studio with no particular project in mind. Instead I've been experimenting with different background techniques. Now I have a small collection of prepared backgrounds that I can use on future projects. Among other things I finally tried out the Stampin' Blends alcohol technique on Vellum Cardstock.

Prince & Princess Stamp Set Gets A Turn

July 15, 2021 Leave a Comment

One of the most overlooked parts of Stampin' Up! catalogues has to be the Host section at the back. Lots of people think that you have to host an in-home party to be able to benefit but that's not entirely true. Anyone can earn Stampin' Rewards (Host benefits) if their order meets the $200CAD threshold. Stampin' Rewards are great because you can spend the 'dollars' on anything.

Alcohol, Stampin Blends And A Trip To The Bathroom

July 3, 2021 4 Comments

Have you ever had an idea burst into your head and you simply had to try it out right away? I've been aware of the trend for alcohol ink backgrounds and effects for some time and love the effect. While I was in quarantine I even got hubby to buy some 99% alcohol, but it went unused. I'd seen Stampin' Blends alcohol markers used to create the effect on vellum and I thought I'd give it a try. I just hadn't got around to it. Yesterday as I washed my hands in the bathroom I looked at the ... VIEW POST
