Create this pretty birthday card using the Decorative Borders and Go To Greetings Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Decorative Simplicity

January 10, 2023 Leave a Comment

With pretty sentiments like those in the Go To Greetings Stamp Set designing a card project can be challenging. If I want the sentiment to stand out I tend to go for much simpler backgrounds and layouts. That might involve a subtle paper pattern. Or I’ve used a plain card background layer with an embossed texture for added interest. Today though I decided to pull out my new Decorative Borders Stamp Set. With a tried and tested navy and white colour scheme this elegant birthday card came together ... VIEW POST

Gnomes Announcement

November 23, 2022 Leave a Comment

When I designed this card during my personal “24 cards in 24 hours” challenge I had a feeling that the gnomes' days would be numbered. It’s a great stamp set but typical of those that are only available for a single catalogue. Of course I hoped I was wrong but sadly not., the Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set and Storybook Gnomes paper are both on the retiring list. What isn’t there though is the Gnomes Dies. That’s because there’s a new stamp set with coordinating spring/summer themed gnomes coming very ... VIEW POST

Inspired By Sadness

September 9, 2022 4 Comments

Yesterday was a momentous day as we learned of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. While we were separated by an ocean, my daughter and I watched the news unfold. Having heard that the Royal Family were all converging on Balmoral Castle in Scotland we knew things were not good. However when the news finally broke it still brought with it a sense of shock. We have never known a world without The Queen. Her selfless sense of duty inspired many and her presence will be sorely ... VIEW POST

Daffodil Project For St David’s Day

March 1, 2022 Leave a Comment

Well my day isn't going to plan. I had a very manageable to do list of relatively quick jobs but haven't ticked off much. Now an extra unexpected and more important issue has come up and my day looks very different. So while I get on with that I hope you enjoy the project I created to mark St. David's Day. It's a pretty thank you card using the Daffodil Daydream Stamp Set and coordinating Daffodil Dies from Stampin' Up!  There’s also a quick tip for using watercolour pencils ... VIEW POST

Beautiful Shapes For A Modern Wreath

January 22, 2022 Leave a Comment

With Christmas nearly a month ago you'd think that wreath designs were a thing of the past (at least for a while). Well to be honest so did I. For today's card project I intended to create something spring-like with flowers and leaves, and I did. However when I pulled out the Beautiful Shapes Dies things took on a life of their own. By the time I was finished my card still had the planned flowers and leaves, but the die-cut hexagon shapes had morphed them into a modern-style ... VIEW POST

Peekaboo Farm Animals at Christmas?

December 24, 2021 Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago I was challenged to create a project using layout sketch as my inspiration. This was based on the card in the bottom right-hand corner on page 88 of the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. The original card uses products from the very Christmassy Tidings of Christmas suite so I was determined to make a non-Christmas card. With that in mind I selected the Peekaboo Farm Stamp Set and set to work. It's only now, weeks later, that I'm struck by a certain irony. What could be more ... VIEW POST
