IDEAS Blog Hop: Day At The Farm

January 4, 2023 12 Comments

Today is the day we finally say goodbye to the July to December 2022 Mini Catalogue. Starting tomorrow customers will finally be able to order products from the January to April 2023 Mini Catalogue and also earn free Sale-A-Bration items. So for this month’s IDEAS blog hop we decided to focus on what we love from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. I chose the free Day At The Farm 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP), even though I don’t have the coordinating stamp set and dies from the Mini Catalogue ... VIEW POST

Brick Texture Adds Interest

April 20, 2022 12 Comments

Today’s card project comes to you courtesy of another design challenge. This time it was the Hand Stamped Sentiment Color Challenge that inspired me with a combination of three blues. Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point would normally result a sea-themed project, and I have to admit it did cross my mind. However in the end I decided to go with something much more geometric. It was only later that I thought of embossing the background. So that’s when the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing ... VIEW POST

Prized Peony For A Thinking Of You Card

August 7, 2021 Leave a Comment

Today's project is another one that came about because I have been reorganising my craft studio. Once again I came across a stamp set I haven't used in ages, this time it was Prized Peony. The large floral images and beautifully scripted sentiments work well with simple cards, but today I went with something a little more involved. PEONY IMAGE My project began when I stamped the peony and bud image onto Thick Basic White Card using Smoky Slate ink. Choosing this rather than black ... 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 ...

Embrace The Brick Wall

October 30, 2019 2 Comments

You've probably guessed by now that I'm passionate about papercrafting. I suppose I have to be to design and create a new project every day for my blog. That doesn't mean that I don't experience a creative block every now and again, I do. However when I hit that brick wall I simply sit down and start playing and experimenting with tools and materials. I don't have a finished project in mind, or any kind of plan. I just play for the fun of it and try not to stress about 'making ... VIEW POST
