Create this masculine / gender neutral card using the retiring Encircled in Friendship Stamp Set and Stitched Triangles Dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Triangles For A Sketch Challenge

March 31, 2022 6 Comments

Today was another one of those days when I really had no idea what I was going to make. While I was waiting for the kettle to boil I checked my e-mails and found the inspiration I needed. The Paper Players have a sketch challenge this week and I immediately wanted to join in. However instead of using three rectangles as the dominant feature, I decided to switch things up using the retiring Stitched Triangles Dies. With some retiring Designer Series Paper (DSP) close at hand I set to ... VIEW POST

Daisy Punch And Daisy Lane

March 24, 2022 Leave a Comment

Oh my what a busy day it was yesterday. The Retiring List of products being discontinued by Stampin’ Up! was revealed, and there’s a lot on there! What’s more there’s discounts of up to 50% on many of them. Popular items will sell out quickly, and I’ve noticed that the 2020/2022 In Color refills are already showing as low inventory. Today’s project uses five retiring items including the Daisy Lane Stamp Set. This is temporarily not-orderable, but the final batch of stamps should be in the ... VIEW POST

Create this "I'm so proud of you" card using pieces from the January 2022 Paper Pumpkin kit "Kisses & Hugs" and the One Happy Family Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Family Pride With Kisses & Hugs

January 28, 2022 Leave a Comment

Just a couple of days ago I received the latest Paper Pumpkin kit called Kisses & Hugs. It contained enough supplies to make 10 heart-shaped tri-fold cards, along with an exclusive stamp set and Gray Granite ink spot. As usual I made one of each design and then decided to bring in the One Happy Family Stamp Set. In no time at all I was able to create lots more alternate projects celebrating my amazing family. Here's just one example adding in some coordinating card and an envelope from ... VIEW POST

Create this card with "life is better with you" sentiment using the Peekaboo Farm Stamp Set and Tasteful Labels Dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Peekaboo Farm Animals at Christmas?

December 24, 2021 Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago I was challenged to create a project using layout sketch as my inspiration. This was based on the card in the bottom right-hand corner on page 88 of the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. The original card uses products from the very Christmassy Tidings of Christmas suite so I was determined to make a non-Christmas card. With that in mind I selected the Peekaboo Farm Stamp Set and set to work. It's only now, weeks later, that I'm struck by a certain irony. What could be more ... VIEW POST

Sailing And Sweaters Are Made For Each Other

September 6, 2021 4 Comments

Happy Labour Day! I had a bit of a lie-in this morning but I wasn't idle. I was actually thinking about what I should make for today's blog. I'd decided that it's been too long since I took part in a design challenge and so my project was inspired by the Just Add Ink Colour Challenge #570. The colours I had to use were Night of Navy, Coastal Cabana and White. I could also add black, vanilla or metallics. The blue combination made me think of sailing, and I already had half an idea in my ... VIEW POST

Campology For A Masculine Birthday Card

December 27, 2020 Leave a Comment

Now that Christmas is 362 days away I feel confident in turning my attention to other important occasions. So it's time to start rebuilding my stash of birthday cards. Today's project is quite simple to make with a couple of punches and a bit of fussy cutting. But it all began with the simple coffee pot image from the Campology Stamp Set. CAMPOLOGY The Campology Stamp Set is from the Stampin' Up! 2020/21 Annual Catalogue and is great for masculine or gender-neutral projects. Although ... VIEW POST
