Create this navy "thinking of you" card using the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set and Cane Weave Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Wonderful Strangers

August 19, 2023 Leave a Comment

The past few days have been both frustrating and amazing. I didn’t publish a blog post yesterday which is very unusual for me. On Thursday I'd booked to go whale watching in the Bay of Fundy with my granddaughter who’s visiting from the UK. Unfortunately we broke down before we made it to Brier Island causing us to miss our trip. However due to some wonderful people we met on Long Island, NS, we made onto a later sailing. As a result, we had to stay the night in a hotel before making the long ... VIEW POST

Create this prayer journal using the Hope & Prayer Stamp Set and Fresh As A Daisy paper from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

The Power Of Prayer

July 25, 2023 Leave a Comment

In the Fresh As A Daisy 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack there are a couple of sheets made up of small panels. I know I’ve mentioned it before and used a number of the panels on various projects. My favourite is definitely the small summer scene. However I’ve been determined to make the most of this and I’m not afraid to chop it up. So today I decided to make this prayer journal for a very special friend using the two small sky scraps I had left. I began with a spiral bound ... VIEW POST

Create this Moody Mauve coloured "thinking of you" card using the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set and Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Mostly Mauve

July 20, 2023 Leave a Comment

Every now and then I get an idea in my head and I can’t shake it. A few months back I was struck by a design comment I saw somewhere. In it the writer suggested using fewer colours in a design, limiting it to just two or three. Yesterday’s sunflower sticky notes project definitely didn’t follow that ‘limited colour palette’ idea. So today I decided to make a ‘thinking of you’ card using just Moody Mauve and Very Vanilla. The interest and detail would come from the use of texture. MOODY ... VIEW POST

Cane Weave

June 9, 2023 Leave a Comment

As so often happens when a new catalogue comes out, I’ve been neglecting some of my other toys. While I’m sure no one can blame for having fun with new Stampin’ Up! products, it does make me feel a little guilty. That’s why I’ve been revisiting some older (but still available) items like the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder and Labels Aglow Dies. Of course I couldn’t resist pairing them with a new stamp set. There’s something about the font used for the Layering Leaves sentiments that I simply ... VIEW POST

Create this cane weave birthday card using the Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set and coordinating Dies, and Dainty Delight Dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Daisies In The Dark

May 5, 2023 2 Comments

Back last December when I first saw the Dainty Delight Dies I knew that I needed them in my collection. What originally attracted my attention were the small daisy-shaped dies, but then I saw the gorgeous curved stem and I was smitten. Fast forward six months and I definitely don’t regret that purchase. The leafy stem is useful in so many ways, but today it was different daisy images that inspired me. These came courtesy of the new Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set and coordinating dies (another ... VIEW POST
