As soon as I saw the Happy Holly-Days Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! I knew I had to get it. I love the large sentiments but for me it was the bird that really drew me in. Since getting my hands on the set I haven't been disappointed and the ideas keep on coming. Today I wanted to make a simple Christmas card with a difference. So out went the traditional colours and in came a neutral colour scheme. HAPPY HOLLY-DAYS I began my project with the bird image and a Soft Suede ink pad. On ... VIEW POST
Penguin Playmates For A Simple Baby Card
My regular readers will know that I like to get the most from my craft budget, and that means being creative with materials. I love taking products that have a specific theme and finding ways to make something totally different. But when I got my hands on the free Penguin Playmates 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) I didn't have to think too hard. The Penguin Playmates DSP features a selection of cute critters enjoying time in the snow. It coordinates with the Penguin Place Stamp Set ... VIEW POST
Heath & Happiness With Happy Holly-Days
So after yesterday's gorgeous new Designer Series Paper, today I have a sneak peek of a new stamp set for you. After seeing the large bird image, Happy Holly-Days had to be on my wish list and I couldn't wait to ink it up.

I'd decided on neutral tones so chose Soft Suede ink for all my stamping. Taking the ... VIEW POST
Penguin Cuteness To The Rescue
Despite the fact that I design and make projects every day I still sometimes suffer from creative block. If I'm working to a deadline that can be particularly stressful so I try to get my projects done ahead of time. When my creative mojo deserts me my goto solution is to simply walk away. This is what I did with today's tag project. I'd made the tag and got the streamers. I had the die-cut "happy birthday" in Very Vanilla and Basic Black ready, but from there I was stumped. So I put the ... VIEW POST
Peekaboo Horse Makes An Appearance
If you've been following my blog you'll know I love the new Peekaboo Farm Stamp Set. It's full of cute images that are perfect for colouring, but that doesn't mean they can't be left as outlines too. So for today's simple Sunday project using the horse image that's what I set out to do, and I succeeded (almost). HORSE AND BIRD This project really was designed around the horse image and I wanted to make sure he was front and centre on my card. I began by cutting a 4" x 5-1/4" layer ... VIEW POST
Hey Chick It’s Nearly Time To Leave
The Last Chance promotion for the Stampin' Up! January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue officially starts on Tuesday (June 1st). That's when some items will be reduced by up to 50%. However ALL products on that list are now only available while stocks last. So if you don't need to wait until Tuesday to place your order, my advice is, don't. Just in case. What's missing from the Last Chance list though is the Hey Chick Stamp Set and coordinating Chick Dies. I've double checked with Stampin' ... VIEW POST
