It’s the first Wednesday of the month and time for another IDEAS blog hop. This month our theme is “Colour Me Happy". It’s no secret that I love the 2023-2025 In Colors and so I decided to create all my projects using three of the five; Boho Blue, Copper Clay and Wild Wheat. For the IDEAS Tutorial bundle I designed two cards and a gift card holder using a simple watermark technique. But not before I painted with In Color inks and did a little embossing to create an eye-catching notebook ... VIEW POST
Zany Colouring Idea
One of the reasons I love stamping is because it makes me feel artistic, even though my drawing skills are childlike to say the least. It’s also why I love Stampin’ Up!’s pretty Designer Series Paper (DSP). So when I get to combine the two I’m in heaven. Another reason I love their DSP is it gives me ideas. Take the Zoo Crew paper. The minimal colouring of the various critters inspired me to try the same thing with images from the Zany Zoo Stamp Set, and this birthday card was the ... VIEW POST
Zany Singing Tortoise
Have you ever bought a stamp set or dies and forgotten to use them? It’s not something that happens to me very often as I keep new things stacked on my desk. Then once they’ve been used I move them to their permanent spot with the rest of my current products. However I obviously got distracted when it came to the Zany Zoo Stamp Set and Dies. That’s why I was completely shocked to find that today’s project is the first time I’ve used the dies, and the stamps remain un-inked! MERRY ... VIEW POST
Zoo Crew Sloth
It’s Sunday and day two of the long weekend here in Nova Scotia. Three day weekends are great as I get a bonus day to play in my craft studio. That’s especially exciting as my latest Stampin’ Up! order was delivered last Thursday and I still have lots of goodies to explore. Meanwhile I’m having fun mixing and matching things I’ve had a bit longer. So for today’s simple Sunday project I created this card using a sloth from the Zoo Crew 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. ZOO CREW ... VIEW POST
Zoo Crew Inspiration
I’m not entirely sure lions like toasted marshmallows, however that’s one of the fun scenes included in the Zoo Crew 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. Like most of the individual animal images on the various sheets there’s only a little bit of colour, but for me that’s one of the big attractions. You see it means that I have the option to add more colour if I want. In fact it’s something I’ve done a few times using Stampin’ Blends and I simply love the final effect. CAMPING AT THE ...

Bunny News And More
Now that things have settled down after the Stampin’ Up! 2023/2024 Annual Catalogue launch it’s time to bring you some updates. First I’m excited that the Easter Bunny Punch which has been unavailable for a while is now back in stock. Mine is on order, and to celebrate I used the coordinating Easter Bunny Stamp Set to create today’s project. Also a quick reminder to check out the Online Exclusives section of my online store as all 12 products ‘missing’ from the Last Chance List did indeed end up ... VIEW POST
