It’s now only 11 days until Stampin’ Up! reveals their 2023/2024 Annual Catalogue. At that time we may not get the actual list of products that will be retiring, but if something is not in the catalogue it’s a pretty safe bet it’s going. One of the stamp sets I’d hate to lose is Elephant Parade. I’ve made lots of projects using this set but I have many more ideas. However it was only this morning I realised all my previous elephants were grey, so today I tried something slightly ... VIEW POST
True Elegance
When I first saw the Basics 3D Embossing Folders I just knew I had to have them. The non-directional patterns on these three folders are great for so many different occasions. While I like the floral and deep dotted designs, my absolute favourite has to be the open-weave / crosshatch one. This morning I remembered another way to use embossing folders so inevitably that was the first one I reached for. Using some vellum, and the True Beauty Stamp Set and coordinating dies this simply elegant card ... VIEW POST
Thanksgiving Goose?
After yesterday’s wildly colourful project I decided to take things down a notch. It began with an idea to show you some more of the amazing Basics 3D Embossing Folders. These are part of the new Online Exclusives range from Stampin’ Up! that was released on March 1st. If you’ve followed my blog over the past couple of weeks you’ll know that I’ve already shown you the three different embossing folders in the pack. However today with the help of a sweet thanks giving goose here’s an entirely ... VIEW POST
Basic Bubble Texture
It’s almost time to say goodbye to the 2023 Sale-A-Bration promotion but I’m really not sad. Now I’m looking forward to the full range of Online Exclusive products being released tomorrow. Some will only be around while stocks last, and some will be available for longer with additional orders being planned. Of the items I purchased in advance my favourite without doubt is the Basics 3D Embossing Folders pack. So for my final sneak peek project I simply had to show you the last of the three ... VIEW POST
Basic Open Weave
Oh where did the weekend go? I always seem to run out of weekend before I run out of things I want to get done. Still, I did manage to find some time to craft and already have tomorrow’s final sneak peek project made. But before we get to that I have a birthday card project for you. It combines the Beautifully Happy Stamp Set (only available until the Stampin’ Up! 2023 Sale-A-Bration promotion ends tomorrow), with another of the Basic 3D Embossing Folders available to customers starting on ...

Daffodil Designs
Finally it’s time to start showing you products that will be available in a new Online Exclusives category appearing in my online store starting March 1st. One of the great things about this new category is that there’s no end date for the sales period! Some products will be reordered when inventory is low, with others only be available while supplies last. This will enable Stampin’ Up! to respond more quickly to relevant trends. Today’s spring daffodil project features one of three designs from ... VIEW POST
