Sailing Away On An Alcohol Ink Background

July 21, 2021 2 Comments

Over the past couple of days I've been playing in my craft studio with no particular project in mind. Instead I've been experimenting with different background techniques. Now I have a small collection of prepared backgrounds that I can use on future projects. Among other things I finally tried out the Stampin' Blends alcohol technique on Vellum Cardstock. I have to say I wasn't disappointed by the results and I decided to turn a blue version into a seascape. With the addition of the ... VIEW POST

Mini Paper Pumpkin Box with image and "I got you a cake... ... but I ate it" sentiment from the Way To Goat Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Way To Goat With The Puns

Cold like the North Pole

Mini pizza box embellished with a laser-cut panel and dotted tulle ribbon from Stampin' Up!

Fancy that

May 25, 2018 2 Comments

Every now and then you just want something really fancy to jazz up an otherwise plain gift and in the new Stampin' Up! 2018/2019 Annual Catalogue there's a doozy.  Of course as so often happens with these things the photo really doesn't do it justice and you could very easily overlook it entirely. So for today's sneak peek project I want to introduce you to the new Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper. This project is so simple to make.  I took a Mini Pizza Box and used ...
