It's time for another Design Team project for the What Will You Stamp? challenge. This week the challenge is #WWYS219 - All That You Are and I have a really pretty thank you card for you. But first an apology. I have a policy of not showing you projects using products you can no longer buy, that's my own personal decision, and one many of my readers have come to expect. Every year around this time however there comes a point where certain retiring Stampin' Up! products sell out and I ... VIEW POST
Sampler Project Finally Finished
Last month I showed you part of something I was working on, but there was much more to do before I was ready to show you the finished project. Well today's the day. I've been putting together a sampler using a number of stamp sets and here's what I ended up with. SECTION BY SECTION If I'd left this project to the end to explain it to you, this would have been the longest post I've ever written. Instead, I'll link back to earlier posts where I've already shown you how I made ... VIEW POST
Say It Isn’t Snow!
Oh yes, at 7.00 am this morning it started snowing. Thankfully it's supposed to change over to rain later, but even so... What's more, we have potentially six inches of the white stuff coming our way later next week! Look, I'm bored with this now. All I want is to be able to look out the window and see green grass and colourful flowers. Not a blanket of snow, however pretty it might appear. Is that too much to hope for? I guess I'll simply have to make my own spring indoors ... VIEW POST
Turning the Corner
A couple of days ago I was working with the Detailed Trio Punch to create a gift tag. While I was filming the short video tutorial I was reminded that it's called a trio punch for a reason. As well as the oval hole that I used for my tag, there are two other punch elements. One adds a little floral style motif in the corner, while the other rounds the corner itself. So for today's quick and easy project design I decided to put the corner rounder to work. POSITIVELY PURPLE It's no ... VIEW POST
#SimpleStamping Birthday
Have you ever heard the phrase 'less is more'? Sometimes as papercrafters we find that a difficult concept to grasp. I remember when I first started making cards wondering why people bothered to add layers, or ribbon and other embellishments. We are definitely influenced by what we see others doing, and tools or materials they're using. Before long we're doing it too. While there's nothing wrong in that, it is good to get back to basics now and again. So today I have another #SimpleStamping ... VIEW POST
