We're now at the point where retiring products are selling out and others are showing as low inventory. So that makes it harder for me to create projects using items are still available to buy. Today I managed it using my favourite but retiring Wrapped in Christmas Stamp Set. I paired it with the tree-scape die from the retiring Home Together Dies. Then I overlaid that onto a stunning design from the retiring Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper (DSP). BRIGHTLY GLEAMING ... VIEW POST
Add A Star For A Special Thanks
Did you realise that one month from today Christmas will be a thing of the past? I know we'd all like 2020 to be over but this is getting ridiculous. So after the rush of getting Christmas cards done and in the mail, what comes next? For me what I need most are thank you cards, and lots of them. I love designing cards that are easy to make in bulk and today's project is a real star. BRIGHTLY GLEAMING This project all started with the star design from the Brightly Gleaming 12" x 12" ...

Thanks For Lots Of Reasons
Thanks or thank you cards are so useful. Whether it's in response to a single event, or a combination of things, sending a card through the mail can really show your appreciation.

Season’s Greetings Getting Closer
Don't look now but two months from today will be Christmas Day! That means that I've already wasted most of the past four months as far as my Christmas crafting is concerned.

But I no longer have that excuse, and if I'm to get everything done in time for Christmas 2020 I really should stop procrastinating. So for today's simple ... VIEW POST
Brightly Gleaming Is Simply Stunning
For today's simple Sunday project I have another card that I made as part of my 24 cards in 24 hours challenge. While this is really simple to make, it's also stunning. With rich colours and copper foil accents the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper (DSP) does all the work for me. BRIGHTLY GLEAMING This project is pretty much all about he Brightly Gleaming DSP. Although the paper is a Christmas pack, there are a number of designs that work for any occasion. I chose one with a ... VIEW POST
Sharing Some Little Treat Box Tips
While I can and do make my own boxes and bags, sometimes it's nice to have the work done for me. So I was easily drawn to the Little Treat Box Dies in the Stampin' Up! August To December 2020 Mini Catalogue. The set consists of one main die that cuts and scores the actual treat box plus nine more dies for various embellishments and labels. So now I've had the chance to play with the Little Treat Box Dies I thought I'd share a few tips and tricks. TIPS FOR DIRECTIONAL PATTERNS You can ... VIEW POST
