Although we’ve had some scorching weather recently it’s obvious that autumn is just around the corner. So as I was looking at the Paper Florist Dies I began to think of ways to use them for the new season. I started by pulling out some ink pads in autumn shades and then remembered the Gold Distressed 12” x 12” Specialty Paper. I love the look of this paper but wondered whether it was possible to give it a hint of autumn colour. There was only one way to find out! DISTRESSED GOLD PAPER I ... VIEW POST
Gold Start For Autumn
Another Cheerful Daisy
Cheerful Daisies is one of those stamp sets that I honestly think I’ll never get tired of. If you’ve followed my blog for a while you’ll know I love daisies. They’re uncomplicated and come in a huge range of colours. Whether it’s the little wild ones that grow in the lawn or the much larger gerberas, they always make me smile. The projects I've made so far have all been spring and summer focused, so I decided to show the year-round versatility of this set with a more autumnal feel. CHEERFUL ... VIEW POST
Soft Seedlings Repurposed
Almost a month ago I showed you a simple thank you card using the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set. I must admit that I was late to the party with this set and my only regret is not getting it sooner. This is a DistINKtive stamp from Stampin’ Up! which means it stamps with varying areas of light and dark all in one go. What I didn’t say when I made that card was that I’d had an issue with the first background. Today I repurposed part of that original piece. NO SEEDLINGS My original card focused ... VIEW POST
Goodbye Autumn Leaves
Despite the chill in the air, yesterday turned out to be a very lovely day. We made the most of it by driving to Parrsboro for lunch. Then on our way back we visited the Lighthouse Park at Five Islands. What struck me most was that almost all the leaves have now fallen. Of course we still have the evergreen trees but it’s sad to see the autumn colours gone. So to mark this seasonal milestone I created this project full of warm tones using the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set. I began this simple ... VIEW POST
Soft Autumn Thank You
My Facebook memory for today was a couple of photos I’d taken four years ago. They were the same view of maple trees in my front yard taken one day apart. I was actually comparing how different the autumn leaves looked as the sun came up versus when the sun was higher in the sky. This memory gave me the spark of an idea for today’s card project. So after pulling out four ink pads along with the Soft Seedlings and Go To Greetings Stamp Sets I quickly got started. SOFT SEEDLINGS START I ... VIEW POST
Leaf Fall Embossing
I must be honest and say that the design of this simple project was only half planned. You see I'd decided to create a "Thinking of you" card and reached for the appropriately named Go To Greetings Stamp Set. However when I opened up the stamp case I found some Basic White Card that had already been stamped with the largest of the Thinking of You sentiments in Tuxedo Black ink. It was obviously meant to be, so with the new Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder I set to work LEAF FALL First I ... VIEW POST
