Motorcycle themed card with 'You're a Classic' sentiment from the Geared Up Garage Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Geared Up To Go

April 28, 2019 Leave a Comment

Today I will have the pleasure of entertaining some Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from New Brunswick. We'll be spending four fun-filled hours playing with products from the new Catalogue and talking about all the good things to come. So while I'm doing that let me remind you of a few things current items that are retiring. Masculine projects are often challenging, so today's Simple Sunday project includes a couple of retiring items that you might want to get before they're gone for ... VIEW POST

Classic Cars

March 16, 2019 2 Comments

Have you ever thought how much we take for granted and how materialistic we have become? I love the idea of a simpler way of life which is why I enjoy living in rural in Nova Scotia. Being away from the hustle and bustle of the city, watching the changing of the seasons, suits me fine. When I saw the Classic Garage suite in the Stampin' Up! 2019 Occasions Catalogue I was reminded of my childhood. Those were the days when having a car was a luxury, not a necessity. The same went for the ... VIEW POST

You’re A Classic

February 20, 2019 2 Comments

My son-in-law is a vehicle mechanic and my father was an engineer, so it's no wonder I was drawn to the Classic Garage Suite in the Stampin' Up! 2019 Occasions Catalogue. I've already made some masculine cards and gift tags using products from the suite, but today I decided do something a little different. I thought it would be fun to decorate a picture frame ready for a photo I'm having printed. YOU'RE A CLASSIC I began with some Thick Very Vanilla Card and a Tranquil Tide ink ... VIEW POST

When the gears finally engaged

January 26, 2019 2 Comments

One of the things I love about Stampin' Up! products is the coordination. They make it so easy to put projects together. Colours used on Designer Series Paper (DSP) is listed in the catalogue and on the packs. These match with the card , ink, ribbon and other accessories. Sometimes they go even further and match DSP patterns with stamp images and dies or punches. Well yesterday while creating today's project the gears finally engaged and forced me to change my project design. I've already ... VIEW POST

Classic Garage Suite Sneak Peek

January 2, 2019 Leave a Comment

A couple of days ago I showed you a masculine decorated notebook using accessories from the Classic Garage suite in the 2019 Occasions Catalogue. I promised you a proper look at the stamp set and dies, and today's the day. Well sort of. I didn't end up using the Garage Gears Dies on this masculine Valentine's card project, but I'll show them to you anyway. PREPARING THE CARD I began with a piece of Thick Very Vanilla Card that I cut and scored using my Stampin' Trimmer. Then I ... VIEW POST

Classic Garage Accessories Sneak Peek

December 29, 2018 Leave a Comment

Every time Stampin' Up! reveals a new catalogue one of the first things I look for are products suitable for masculine projects. Most papercrafters I know say that the guys in our lives are the most difficult to create for. I tend to agree with them. Imagine my delight when in the 2019 Occasions Catalogue I found the Classic Garage suite of products. There's the Geared Up Garage Stamp Set, Garage Gears Thinlits Dies and Classic Garage accessories including Designer Series Paper, ribbon and ... VIEW POST
