In a little over three weeks we'll know for sure what Stampin' Up! products are retiring. For some things though there's no doubt. I've already mentioned all the 2019-2021 In Color products will go as they make way for new 2021-2023 In Colors. Also guaranteed to retire are Host stamp sets in the 2020/2021 Annual Catalogue. Host stamp sets never carry over, so your time to earn Stampin' Rewards to get them is running out. Today's unusual bookmark project features one of these exclusive stamp ... VIEW POST
Try Watercolour Pencils With A Blender Pen
I love colouring with a variety of materials, and experimenting with new techniques. Take watercolour pencils for instance. Did you know that you can get different looks with watercolour pencils? The most common way I see people use them is to colour, and then 'activate' the pigment with water. You don't have to of course, you can also use them dry just like normal colouring pencils. But have you tried using watercolour pencils with a Blender Pen? I like this method because it smooths the ... VIEW POST
Relax It’s Only A Server Migration
Today my website is migrating to a new server and thankfully this is being managed by my hosting service SiteGround. While I have no doubt that things will happen smoothly it's still a little nerve-wracking. What's more I've been asked to avoid making changes to my website at all today in order to prevent any potential loss of data. So it was with this in mind that I sat down to create today's project. Relax and chinchilla out just about sums it up. STRIKING ARGYLE BACKGROUND I've ... VIEW POST
Country Club Colouring Sheet
If you find colouring relaxing then don't overlook the Country Club 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) Pack. As well as lots of golf-themed designs there are some great geometric patterns that I know I'll use. One of the designs in the Country Club DSP pack is quite different though. It has 12 line-art scenes (4 each of 3 different scenes - sort of) designed so you can leave them as they are or you can colour them. COUNTRY CLUB BACKGROUND I began my project by cutting and scoring ... VIEW POST
Another Heat Embossing Idea
Yesterday I showed you a card made using the Inspiring Iris Stamp Set my daughter bought me for my birthday. Today I have a project using another birthday gift, the Fanciful Fragrance Stamp Set. I love the vintage feel of the images in this set and was particularly attracted to the flowers. I thought they would make a nice focal point for a bookmark. After I'd finished stamping I decided it needed a little gold heat embossing too, and that was when I had an novel idea. FIRST THE ... VIEW POST
Lovely Is The Day
Lovely is today, well not weather-wise, it's actually grey and wet at the moment. But things will brighten up later when I get my first look at the 2019 Holiday Catalogue from Stampin' Up! While I wait I've been playing with the Lovely Is The Day Stamp Set and coordinating Lovely Leaves Dies. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND I began this project with the abstract background and a technique I don't use nearly enough, ink smooshing. To get this amazing effect I first pressed a Balmy Blue ink pad ...
