After yesterday's Post-It Note® project I wanted to create something much more colourful today. As luck would have it, over the weekend I received an e-mail from the Paper Players with their latest design challenge. Their Color Challenge PP558 included some of my favourite colours that reminded me of the Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). So with the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set added to my desk I set to work creating this elegant birthday card. BLACKBERRY BEAUTY ... VIEW POST
Sailing And Sweaters Are Made For Each Other
Happy Labour Day! I had a bit of a lie-in this morning but I wasn't idle. I was actually thinking about what I should make for today's blog. I'd decided that it's been too long since I took part in a design challenge and so my project was inspired by the Just Add Ink Colour Challenge #570. The colours I had to use were Night of Navy, Coastal Cabana and White. I could also add black, vanilla or metallics. The blue combination made me think of sailing, and I already had half an idea in my ... VIEW POST
Hand-Penned Petals Called To Me Again
Since I've not had access to my craft room for a while I've been a bit limited in what I have available for my designs. It's a valid excuse, but I'll admit it's not the whole truth. You see I have a feeling that I'd probably keep going back to the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set regardless. I've simply fallen in love with the images and just keep getting more and more ideas. So I hope you'll allow me to indulge myself once again with this pretty thank you card. COLOURS FIRST While I ... VIEW POST
Taking Up A Masculine Card Challenge
After yesterday's very small, colourful project I have something quite different for you. I received an e-mail from The Paper Players announcing their latest design challenge and I knew I'd have to take part. The theme this week is masculine birthdays and who couldn't use more masculine birthday card ideas? So with a brand new pack of Designer Series Paper (DSP) I sat down and set to work. By the time I'd finished I'd created a very dramatic card indeed. NEW MASCULINE DSP I bought ... VIEW POST
Whale Have A Happy Saturday
Today's card began after I received an e-mail from one of the design challenges I follow. CAS(E) this Sketch provided the layout and I immediately know whet I wanted to make. Instead of seeing the circle as a punched layer on top, I saw a hole. From there it all went swimmingly using the new Whale Done Stamp Set. WHALE OF A TIME For me the hardest part of this project was finding just the right background. I wanted it to complement my planned whale image and not distract from it. ... VIEW POST
Magenta Madness On A Cloudy Day
Yesterday evening I had fun time on a Zoom meeting with 40 Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from across Canada. The meeting was organised by our Canadian Manager Dale Hampshire and members of the 2020 Canadian Demonstrator Council. As part of the event we were challenged to create a card using a sketch designed by Julie Tilman as our inspiration. As soon as I saw it I had an idea, and it involved a hot pink gerbera using Magenta Madness Card. SIMPLE LAYERS The sketch from Julie was quite ... VIEW POST
