My process for designing new projects varies. Sometimes I just sit and start creating something with no real idea where I will end up. Other times I have a definite plan and everything comes together just as I had imagined it would. Today’s project however didn’t go quite so smoothly. You see I’d planned to use the Elephant Parade Stamp Set along with the coordinating Elephant Dies. But I ended up ditching the dies in favour of fussy cutting with Paper Snips. All because of the colouring ... VIEW POST
Very Best Trio Punch
Today’s simple project features the cute little kangaroo from the Count On Me Stamp Set. However it was actually just an afterthought following the main purpose of this post. What I really wanted to show you was my hack for using the Very Best Trio Punch. I use this punch at least once a week, if not more, and love the slot option. Punching it in the centre of a strip of card has, to date, involved measuring and marking the centre with a pencil & ruler, but no more! TRIO PUNCH ... VIEW POST
Hoarding Like Squirrels
I love stamp sets and admit I’m a bit of a hoarder. That’s probably not news to you, but I suspect many of you are hoarders too. However even with a stamp set I love I sometimes wish there were other/extra images. This was exactly what happened after I got the Nuts About Squirrels Stamp Set last year. The two squirrels are so cute but something was definitely missing, separate acorn images. So why was it only after I’d finished today’s project that I realised my wish had been granted? NUTS ...

Hippos On Film
When I like a stamp set I always check to see if there’s a coordinating set of dies, especially if they’re offered in a discounted bundle. But when I saw the Blossoming Happiness Dies I knew I’d get them regardless. The draw for me was the two edge dies. One adds a line of small circles in the style of a spiral bound page. The other has a series of small slots like a comb bound page. Today’s project uses that second die to create a filmstrip featuring cute hippos. FILMSTRIP ACTION I ... VIEW POST
A Paper Pumpkin Thing: Sending Good Thoughts
Today is the first Friday of the month and time for another inspirational blog hop. For the past several years I’ve been part of the A Paper Pumpkin Thing team bringing you alternate project ideas using the latest Paper Pumpkin kit. Today we’re showcasing the July kit called “Sending Good Thoughts”. This nautical-themed kit contained lots of fun pieces for layering. So for my alternate projects I decided to pare it right back with a very simple gender-neutral “thinking of you” card. Followed by ... VIEW POST
Best Remedy For Today
Oops, sorry I’m late but I got rather distracted and instead of creating one card for today’s post I made three! I started out with no idea what I was going to make and reached for the nearest thing on my desk. This just happened to be the newest all-inclusive stamping kit from Stampin’ Up! called “Best Remedy”. Although there’s full instructions and all the prepared pieces to make 9 cards with envelopes (3 each of 3 different designs), I decided to improvise, and once I got going I couldn’t ... VIEW POST
