Have you seen the movie Groundhog Day? It's the tale of a weatherman who gets to relive February 2nd (Groundhog Day) over and over again. Well today is Groundhog Day and we have a big winter storm coming through just like in the movie. So when thinking about today's project I decided to remake an old one. Not just any project mind you, one from almost 4 years ago when the stamp set Hey, Chick! was originally released. My old Stampin' Up! blog is no longer active so I've also decided to ... VIEW POST
Simply Playing With A Touch Of Ink
Waking up to fresh snow in the ground and with flurries in the forecast I was in the mood for something bright. After the sun came up, little footprints on the deck confirmed we'd had a visitor. We have three little red squirrels that come to help themselves to seeds and pieces of nuts that we leave out for the birds. We certainly don't mind, and our cat Houdini seems fascinated as he watches through the window not 12 inches from where they sit. The squirrels don't care either, they seem to ... VIEW POST
Don’t Overlook Those Darling Donkeys
Today's project comes to you courtesy of my daughter after I told her I wanted to make a gift tag. She suggested a cute lamb, but I don't have a stamp image of a lamb. So instead I chose the Darling Donkeys Stamp Set which you can currently get for free as part of Stampin' Up!'s Sale-A-Bration promotion. A TAIL OF SEVERAL DONKEYS My project began with small scraps of card (some VERY small) and a Tuxedo Black ink pad. From the Darling Donkeys Stamp Set I chose the donkey with the rose ... VIEW POST
Seaside Spray Soon To Be Gone
I mentioned the other day that all 2019-2021 In Color products will be retiring soon. So before it's gone for good today I wanted to showcase Seaside Spray Card and metallic ribbon. All I had in my head was to make a gift tag that wasn't floral and this was the result. SEASIDE SPRAY START I began my project by pulling out some Seaside Spray Card to use for my tag base. The last few tags I've made have either been folded or created using one of Stampin' Up!'s tag topper punches, so ... VIEW POST
Treasures From Grandparent To Grandchild
Yesterday my granddaughter Alyssa decided to spend some of her birthday money. So with Mummy's help she ordered a whole set of books online. I wasn't surprised as she's a voracious reader and has quite the collection already. So as I sat down to make today's project I couldn't help but make her a bookmark. The new Treasures Of Life Stamp Set had the perfect image for this simple but special gift. SIMPLE TREASURES This was such a quick and easy gift to make and I began with a 2" x ... VIEW POST
Old Chick, New Chick, Excitement
Usually I don't show sneak peeks of new products that customers can't buy for several weeks. But today I want to make an exception. That's because one of the new products I want to show isn't really new. Do you remember the cute Hey Chick Stamp Set from the 2017 Sale-A-Bration Brochure? It was incredibly popular and I immediately thought of it when I saw the Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set in the new Mini Catalogue. Well it seems that this was no accident as Stampin' Up! have announced that ... VIEW POST
