Lovely Simple Stamped Gift Tag

August 22, 2021 2 Comments

I have no idea how it can be Sunday again. The days are flying by far too fast for my liking, if only my list of chores would disappear as fast. I'm determined to make a dent in them today so my blog will be short and sweet. I've gone back to an older but still available stamp set Lovely You for this quick folded gift tag. It's the perfect project for a little simple Sunday crafting. BLOCK STAMPED BACKGROUND My project began with a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" piece of Very Vanilla Card and an ... VIEW POST

Block Stamped Background Rediscovered

July 6, 2021 Leave a Comment

During my craft room reorganisation one of the things I love is rediscovering old projects. That's especially true when it reminds me of a technique or design that I haven't used in ages. Today's card came about as a result of one of those discoveries, and it's all about the block stamping technique. SIMPLE BLOCK STAMPING I began my project with a 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" piece of Shimmery White Card that I found among my scraps. Shimmery White Card takes water nicely so is a good choice for ...

Block Stamped Background Revisited

April 18, 2020 Leave a Comment

This morning I had absolutely no idea what to make for my blog project so you have my daughter to thank for this. She suggested a few things including a card with a supportive message. So from a pile of older but still available stamp sets I pulled out Let It Ride. Then seeing my 'failed' block stamped background from the other day I set to work. BLOCK STAMP FAIL AND SUCCESS As I said, the background for today's card was actually a 'failed' attempt at block stamping from a few days ... VIEW POST

Playing With A Block Stamped Background

April 12, 2020 Leave a Comment

I must admit when I got up this morning I had no idea what I was going to make. In fact I started one project and didn't like the way it was going so started something completely different instead. I still have no idea why I decided to do a block stamped background, but I'm glad I did. I'll be honest and say although it's a simple enough technique I've sometimes been less than impressed with my efforts. Today I persevered and think I've finally cracked it! THE BLOCK STAMPED ...
