The What Will You Stamp? challenge Design Team decided that this week should be WWYS183 Blended Seasons. This special stamp set is only available during August, while stocks last, and we know it's been a popular set. I immediately loved the large line-art images and have had lots of fun with them. I've made quite a few projects with this set but I think I may well have saved the best until last. For my Design Team project I decided to use the stamp set to create a holly wreath gift ...

Buffalo Check come out to play
Yesterday I showed you a sneak peek from the Stampin' Up! 2018 Holiday Catalogue, the Santa's Workshop Suite. Today I have another sneak peek for you but this is a product you'll want to use all year round. It's a new background stamp called Buffalo Check. I knew as soon as I saw this stamp that I would be on my Demonstrator pre-order. I mean, this bold check is so versatile. I can see it as a pretty gingham and as a background for Christmas cards. Today though I went with a masculine ... VIEW POST
Blended Seasons and copper leaves
I've been having so much fun playing with the new Blended Seasons Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Well when I pulled out the falling leaves image I'd planned to use watercolour pencils to create gorgeous fall colours. However once ... VIEW POST
Christmas Pines and Sheet Music
So after a day or two of slightly less oppressive weather, Nova Scotia is back under a heat warning. It's no wonder I'm thinking ahead to cooler seasons and crafting a few cards for Christmas. While I've already seen the Stampin' Up! 2018 Holiday Catalogue, I'm still waiting for my pre-order to arrive, so I turned to the 2018/2019 Annual Catalogue and the Christmas Pines and Sheet Music Stamp Sets. Add to that the new Blended Seasons Stamp Set and I had everything I needed. THE STAMP ... VIEW POST
Morning glory
Have you ever noticed how generic many flower shapes are? Take the gorgeous line art image in the new Blended Seasons Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!, the other day I created a watercoloured project and thought that they were petunias. Today I was desperately trying not to colour them purple or pink and in colouring them blue seemed to have created morning glory. Whatever they are, you have to admit that these flowers are beautiful. So this project started with the large floral image from ... VIEW POST
