Spring Flowers For A Quick Birthday Card

March 21, 2021 Leave a Comment

Sometimes I spend a lot of time on a project, other times I just need something quick and easy. When that happens I rely less on techniques and tools, and more on the products. Today's simple Sunday project is a perfect example of that. The patterns in the Flowers For Every Season 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP) did all the work. All I had to do was cut and layer the pieces and then add my stamped sentiment. COLOURFUL FLOWERS I began this project by choosing a bright and ... VIEW POST

Label Me Lovely With A Border

November 28, 2020 Leave a Comment

Punches are a quick and easy way to add shapes to a project. I have quite a collection and I love punches that can be used for sentiments. Of course when they're a fancy shape it can present challenges if you want to add a layer. So while today's birthday card is simple I have a tip for you... how to create a contrasting mat for the Label Me Lovely Punch. FIRST THE CARD Before getting to the sentiment I first prepared all the pieces for my project. I chose the Forever Greenery 12" x ... VIEW POST

Tis the season for mistakes

August 10, 2020 2 Comments

Ask any experienced papercrafter whether they make mistakes and if they're honest they'll confirm they do. That includes me. My most common issue is rushing when I'm cutting and ending up with a piece that's too small. Why is it that the wrongly cut piece is never too big?? I find that the busier I get, the more distracted I become, and that's when it happens. Today is a case in point. So much on my to do list preparing for a new season and I make one of the most basic errors. I'll tell ... VIEW POST

Beautiful Cards Using Beautiful Friendship

June 7, 2020 2 Comments

I never thought of myself as creative. In fact years ago I was actually told that art wasn't my forte. Then I discovered Stampin' Up! and I was encouraged to forget what I'd been told. I could be creative, I could make pretty things, all I needed was a few basic tools and some guidance. Little did I know when I placed my first order that I had finally found my passion. Papercrafting with Stampin' Up! products has opened up a whole new world for me. I love the freedom and sense of ... VIEW POST

Crackle Paint Bites The Dust

May 7, 2020 Leave a Comment

I'm still working my way through the list of retiring stamp sets and trying to use each of them one last time. Today it's the turn of a background stamp, Crackle Paint. It's one of those background designs that adds a little interest without overwhelming the rest of the project. I have a feeling I'm going to miss this one. BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP Although I'm reminding you about Crackle Paint, this project actually started with the Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set. It's been in the Annual ... VIEW POST
