My regular readers will know that I love finding new and interesting sentiments to use on my projects. Sometimes they're part of a stamp set with both images and sentiments. Other times they're part of a sentiment only set like the new Lighthearted Lines. This set of eight stamps has somewhat larger sentiments, although they're certainly not huge. Some of them could also be 'edited' with the first part stamped on the front of a card and the second part on the inside. Today though I kept ... VIEW POST
Beauty Of The Earth For Tree Lovers
After yesterday's sneak peek of the Tailor Made Tags Dies, I have some new Designer Series Paper to show you. The Beauty Of The Earth 12" x 12" DSP features a twelve tree and leaf designs and is stunning. It's not hard to imagine these colours and styles being useful for every season. Today I chose one of the more abstract patterns as a background for my card project. BACK ON YOUR FEET Before getting to the Beauty Of The Earth DSP I first needed to create the focal point of the card. ... VIEW POST
Just Put Your Feet Up And Relax
Today is going to be one of those relaxing days with nothing important on my to do list. It is Sunday after all. We have quick and easy meals planned, and the only 'chore' is a load of washing. As I have machines that do most of the work, I can hardly call that difficult. In fact, so long as I fold it straight from the dryer I'll not even have to iron it. So my plan is essentially to put my feet up, read a book and maybe do a little colouring. What about you? REST & RELAX When ... VIEW POST
I’m Planning To Put My Feet Up, Eventually
Just when I thought I had a handle on the 2021/2021 Annual Catalogue another box of new goodies arrived! Most of these are from the new Stampin' Up! August to December Mini Catalogue which goes live on August 4th. While it's still 23 weeks to Christmas I know that time will fly by, but the new Mini Catalogue isn't just about Christmas. There's autumn, and Thanksgiving and Halloween all coming before then and that will keep me busy. Of course I don't keep the new products separate from the ... VIEW POST
And Now For A Giraffe Project
If you've been following my blog for a while you'll know I love a good pun. So it should come as no surprise when I say I love the Back On Your Feet Stamp Set. At first glance you might think this set is just for get well cards. However, I think the giraffe image and "This is knot good" sentiment could suit lots of different circumstances. GIRAFFE TIMES FOUR My project began with the giraffe image and an Early Espresso ink pad. First I stamped the giraffe on the front of a Very ... VIEW POST
Spending Time With A Sloth
What is it about the sloth that seems to have captured people's imaginations? I seem to be seeing them everywhere right now. I must admit that there's something cute about their faces, and how they're not in a hurry to do anything. It appears to quite an idyllic life, although I couldn't cope with the really long fingernails. Still those claws are perfectly adapted for their life in the trees. When I first saw the Back On Your Feet Stamp Set I knew I'd have to add it to my collection. ... VIEW POST
