Having twin granddaughters is so interesting. They’re not identical, but sometimes it’s still hard to tell them apart. One appears to be right-handed and one left-handed (they even propel their scooters with opposite legs!). This week we discovered it’s common for twins to get chicken pox 14 days apart, and for the second twin to be much worse. The poor thing, is completely covered in blisters. I’ll video chat with her later but first here’s a “thinking of you” card using the Fresh As A Daisy ... VIEW POST
Another Cheerful Daisy
Cheerful Daisies is one of those stamp sets that I honestly think I’ll never get tired of. If you’ve followed my blog for a while you’ll know I love daisies. They’re uncomplicated and come in a huge range of colours. Whether it’s the little wild ones that grow in the lawn or the much larger gerberas, they always make me smile. The projects I've made so far have all been spring and summer focused, so I decided to show the year-round versatility of this set with a more autumnal feel. CHEERFUL ... VIEW POST
Daisies In The Dark
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.

These came courtesy of the new Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set and coordinating dies (another ... VIEW POST
Daisies And More
At last the Stampin’ Up! 2023/2024 Annual Catalogue is live and products are available for customers to buy. Over the past week I’ve brought you sneak peeks of just a few of the items I was able to buy in advance. Now, like you I’m able to choose from the entire catalogue. But with a limited budget it’s hard to know what to prioritise first. In the end I settled on some additional cardstock in some of my favourite new colours along with some ink pads and Stampin’ Blends. Then I added in a few ... VIEW POST
Cheerful Daisies Dies
Just like that April is over and today is the final day of the Last Chance promotion. Then, from midnight tonight (Mountain Time) customers will finally be able to buy new products from the 2023/2024 Annual Catalogue. As an Independent Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator I was allowed to order a few things early, but I’m excited to be able to choose from the complete catalogue.

Cheerful Daisies
Daisies make me smile. Whether that’s big cultivated Gerberas or small wild daisies in the lawn, seeing them simply brightens my day. So I was excited to discover the new, and aptly named, Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set in the Stampin’ Up! 2023/2024 Annual Catalogue. While there are four sentiments in the set, it was versatility of the three main daisies that caught my eye. I decided to use the two full flower images, along with a stem and the leaf to create today’s sneak peek project, a colourful ... VIEW POST
