Yesterday was an exciting day as I unpacked my latest customer orders. It’s always really interesting to see what other people are getting, and to inspect the products up close. I have to say that sometimes my own orders have been influenced by what my customers get. This parcel was especially welcome though because it also included a brand new bundle for me from the January to June 2023 Mini Catalogue. This will be one of the bundles used in Stampin’ Up!’s World Card Making Day event on October ... VIEW POST
Take One Elephant
Today’s the day to get free shipping on your Stampin’ Up! order. Reaching the minimum $100CAD requirement wasn’t hard for me as I have an extensive wish-list.

This month's A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop is all about the February 2022 kit called Kisses & Hugs. Unfortunately global shipping issues caused kits to arrive late at Stampin' Up! and domestic mailing delays have compounded the problem. So instead of Valentines I thought it would be useful to show this kit's year-round versatility. HUGS FOR A BABY For my first project I thought the hearts and XOXO motif would make a great baby card. In addition, by avoiding the pink parts of ... VIEW POST
Pregnancy – 10 Minute Card Idea
One card theme I don't visit a great deal is babies, and even less frequently, pregnancy. I found that I didn't have sentiments that I liked, so I was excited to see the One Happy Family Stamp Set in the 2021/22 Annual Catalogue. "You made a little human!" is probably one of my favourite sentiments, but "the happiest reason for feeling rotten" also caught my eye. So when I was working through my recent 24 cards in 24 hours marathon I was determined to use the One Happy Family Stamp Set. This ... VIEW POST
Penguin Playmates For A Simple Baby Card
My regular readers will know that I like to get the most from my craft budget, and that means being creative with materials. I love taking products that have a specific theme and finding ways to make something totally different. But when I got my hands on the free Penguin Playmates 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) I didn't have to think too hard. The Penguin Playmates DSP features a selection of cute critters enjoying time in the snow. It coordinates with the Penguin Place Stamp Set ... VIEW POST
