Have you ever wondered about how Stampin’ Up! names their products? Stamp sets are often (but not always) named for one of the sentiments, or at least a close approximation. Dies that coordinate with a stamp set were given a similar name, but that has started to change. Now you’ll find stamp sets and dies have exactly the same name to make the coordination more apparent. Paper pack names are not so obvious and can sometimes be a little misleading. Take the Delicate Desert Designer Series Paper ... VIEW POST
Sneak Peeks No More
At last it’s January 5th and the Stampin’ Up! January to April Mini Catalogue is live for customers. I’ve had lots of fun bringing you sneak peeks of just a few of the products, but I’m excited that you can finally order them for yourselves. Also starting today is the annual Sale-A-Bration promotion where you can earn exclusive free products with every qualifying order. So here I wanted to bring together all my sneak peek projects in one place, and finally include links to the wonderful new ... VIEW POST
IDEAS Blog Hop: Day At The Farm
Today is the day we finally say goodbye to the July to December 2022 Mini Catalogue. Starting tomorrow customers will finally be able to order products from the January to April 2023 Mini Catalogue and also earn free Sale-A-Bration items.

I chose the free Day At The Farm 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP), even though I don’t have the coordinating stamp set and dies from the Mini Catalogue ... VIEW POST
Playing With More New Products
It’s day four of my sneak peek series featuring new products from the January to April 2023 Mini Catalogue. In earlier sneak peeks I’ve done quite a bit of colouring and fussy cutting and I know they’re not everyone’s favourite techniques. Today I resolved to avoid those. So what’s a crafter to do when they want add a cute rabbit to a card front? Well for this card I simply cut an image from the Rain Or Shine Designer Series Specialty Paper (DSP) using the Playing In The Rain Dies. RAIN OR ... VIEW POST
By My Side Thank You
OK I admit it I may be slightly addicted to colouring my stamped images. I’m not an expert by any means but I do find it relaxing. Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers also make it ridiculously easy to get a nice even colour without those horrid lines other markers often leave. One of my favourite styles of focal point is a ‘scene’ and I’ve created a few using the characters from the By My Side Stamp Set. It’s such fun being able to put words into their mouths so to speak. BY MY SIDE ... VIEW POST
Deer Leg Discovery
I’m one of those stampers who don’t mind rubber or photopolymer stamps. What is more important to me is the quality. Both types of stamps have their benefits and shortcomings. I particularly like photopolymer stamps as they make it really easy to get the placement just right. I also like that I can bend or move parts of some stamps to suit my purpose. However this second ability caught me out today. So that meant stamping the deer a second time, but the end result was worth it I ... VIEW POST
