When I made today's project using the Delivering Cheer Stamp Set I thought I'd come up with a cute Christmas card. But several days later as I looked at the image of the lady carrying a huge pile of gifts I had another idea. The pile of gifts could actually be for any occasion. With a simple change of sentiment you could have a card for a birthday, baby shower, wedding, anything. So now I've added that to my design ideas list for a future blog post. But first, here's my original Christmas ... VIEW POST
Poinsettia Petals Aren’t Really Petals
Did you know that the red petals on a poinsettia aren't really petals at all? They're a special type of leaf called bracts which respond to changing light levels. This causes them to change from green to red (or shades of pink or white) as the plant matures. The true flowers on a poinsettia are the teeny tiny yellow things found in the very middle of the bracts. Of course this doesn't make them any more impressive, but it did influence how I designed today's gift tag project. TAILOR ... VIEW POST
Peaceful Deer Isn’t All Animals
Just recently I received an order containing the Peaceful Deer Stamp Set and coordinating Deer Builder Punch. By adding some adhesive to my order I'd bumped up the total, and earned a free product from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. It made sense to choose the Peaceful Prints 12" x 12" Designer Series paper (DSP) pack as it coordinates with the stamp set. Plus it was free and who wouldn't want free papercrafting stuff? Still, when I got the stamp set it wasn't the deer that excited me, it ... VIEW POST
Tidings & Trimmings First Project
I had to work unexpectedly on Friday and Saturday which was a shame as my latest Stampin' Up! order was due. It was here when I got home Friday but I had no time to play until today. So when I was thinking of a Simple Sunday project I couldn't help but reach for the new stuff. In the end the Tidings & Trimmings Stamp Set and coordinating Tidings of Christmas paper provided the inspiration I needed. TIDINGS OF CHRISTMAS The Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) is a pack ... VIEW POST
Christmas Season Is Coming Soon
It's raining hard right now and set to get progressively worse as the day goes on. Hurricane Larry is going to miss us but will still affect our weather for the next couple of days. I find myself being thankful that it's only water, I'm not ready to shovel the white stuff just yet. Instead I'm happy to stay inside and craft, especially since I realised it's only 15 weeks to Christmas! Given that cards need to be mailed weeks beforehand, it's time to ramp up production. So today I have a ... VIEW POST
Another Happy Holly-Days Idea
As soon as I saw the Happy Holly-Days Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! I knew I had to get it. I love the large sentiments but for me it was the bird that really drew me in. Since getting my hands on the set I haven't been disappointed and the ideas keep on coming. Today I wanted to make a simple Christmas card with a difference. So out went the traditional colours and in came a neutral colour scheme. HAPPY HOLLY-DAYS I began my project with the bird image and a Soft Suede ink pad. On ... VIEW POST
