A Paper Pumpkin Thing – On My Mind

July 25, 2019 Leave a Comment

Today's blog post is all about the July 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit, On My Mind. First I've two alternate projects for you, then click on the link at the bottom to get lots more alternate project ideas. Enjoy. The July kit coordinated with three suites in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue; Come Sail Away, Garden Lane and Woven Threads. This makes the kit even more useful as the sentiments and images coordinate with the stamp sets in the suites. I love it when the Paper Pumpkin Team does ... VIEW POST

Take Life By The Reins

March 2, 2019 4 Comments

Today's project was a happy accident. I wanted to get that out in the open from the start. I've been having a bit of a sort out and found some scraps of card that had got creased somehow. I used to throw those pieces away, but not any longer. I have a simple 30 second solution for saving those pieces. So I decided to take life by the reins and create a 30 second solution video for you. Ok, so I took a little bit of poetic licence and exaggerated the creases in the Call Me Clover ... VIEW POST

Merry Christmas Pop-Up Card

October 24, 2018 2 Comments

Yesterday I had a fun couple of hours in my craft studio with a very special guest, my granddaughter Alyssa.  She'll be 8 next month and it was such fun to watch her design and create her own pop-up Christmas card. Let me say from the outset that this card was all her idea.  She's been playing with the "pop-up" process at home and wanted to show me how to do it.  All I did was show her how to put the pop-up layer inside another card to hide the mechanism.  Then, apart from some very minor ...

Masculine birthday card using Wood Textures DSP, Basket Weave Dynamic Embossing Folder and Perennial Birthday Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Dynamic Embossing On DSP

September 29, 2018 2 Comments

So this morning I had an idea.  I experimented a few days ago with a double-inking technique on the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder® and was really pleased with the results.  Today I had an idea to try using a different Dynamic embossing folder on DSP to see how that worked.  So I pulled out one I haven't used in ages, Basket Weave, and accidentally made a masculine birthday card.  Not that I'm complaining! BASKET WEAVE DYNAMIC EMBOSSING FOLDER The point about the ... VIEW POST

Good luck card created using the Banners for You and Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up!

Good Luck Banners for You

August 16, 2018 6 Comments

There are so many occasions when it's appropriate to wish someone good luck that I was surprised how rarely I actually make good luck cards.  In fact, even as I sat down in my craft studio this morning I had no plans for that. My vague idea was to create a card featuring a large focal point, with die-cut pieces adding interest and dimension.  I settled on the Bouquet Bunch Framelits, and that lead to the coordinating Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set.  Standing beside it on the shelf was the ...
