As so often happens when a new catalogue comes out, I’ve been neglecting some of my other toys. While I’m sure no one can blame for having fun with new Stampin’ Up! products, it does make me feel a little guilty. That’s why I’ve been revisiting some older (but still available) items like the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder and Labels Aglow Dies. Of course I couldn’t resist pairing them with a new stamp set. There’s something about the font used for the Layering Leaves sentiments that I simply ... VIEW POST
Delight In Monochrome
Normally I’d be disappointed if it rained at the weekend, but not today. Nova Scotia’s weather is finally giving the personnel fighting the wildfires a break. Hopefully with a full week of rain in the forecast things will be under control soon. Meanwhile I’ve been working on today’s card project. As I sat down my plan was to include dies and maybe an embossing folder, and keep the colour palette very simple. The final result using the Dainty Delight Stamp Set and Dies turned out even better than ... VIEW POST
Back In The Pansy Patch
One of the great things about a colour refresh is the opportunity to rediscover neglected stamp sets. This week I thought it would be fun to pull out the Pansy Patch Stamp Set and coordinating Pansy Dies. I chose two of the four 2023-2025 In Colors and one of the new core colours which I thought would work particularly well together. While I was at it I also thought it was well past time I pulled out my neglected Sponge Daubers too. This pretty happiness card was the final result. SIMPLE ... VIEW POST
Courage & Faith
I don’t know where the time is going but I think I’m going to run out of month before I run out of things I need to get done. Sadly not all of them are fun tasks but I have a strategy… I’ll use the nice ones to reward myself for doing the boring and less enjoyable jobs. Of course it would probably help if I set a timer to stop myself spending all day on a ‘reward’. It’s tough though when I have new stamp sets like Courage & Faith to play with!

Daisies In White
It’s no secret that I love daisies, especially large bright gerberas. But for today’s project I decided to try something altogether different. Instead of colourful flowers on a white background I thought it would be fun to reverse that. So my flowers would be completely white while everything else would provide the colour. One of my favourite colours to pair with white is blue, especially dark blue. This always seems to create an elegant result that never gets old. Then with that basic plan in ... VIEW POST
Time For New Ink Colours
Now that Stampin’ Up! has refreshed its colours I thought it was a good time to let you in on my wish list strategy. Ultimately I want all the new ink colours and would love to order everything at once. However I need to spread my purchases over several months, but where to start? What I do is just create as normal, then as I’m working I make a note of any colours I wished I’d had. These are the ones I’ll prioritise on my next order. For instance, today’s birthday tag project told me I needed a ... VIEW POST
