It’s the first Wednesday in the month and time for another IDEAS Blog Hop. This month our theme is “Colour me happy” which gives so much scope to be creative. However while I designed a regular card and gift tag for our Tutorial Bundle I wanted to bring you something different today. On my Pinterest account I ‘pin’ colour inspirations like the panel below, but to be honest I don’t often refer to these. So today my idea is to create a physical resource using scraps of cardstock and DSP. Of ... VIEW POST
IDEAS Blog Hop: Another Cardstock Idea
Lifelong Friends
Happy Groundhog Day! It’s currently minus 15C outside and I don’t care what Shubenacadie Sam says later, I predict another 6 weeks of winter. This week’s simple Sunday project is very a quick one using the new Lifelong Friends Stamp Set. It was actually an afterthought as I was trying out some new ideas using the Color Coach. My plan was test out using the wheel as an aid to choosing colour schemes. I started out with Night of Navy and then simply picked other colours from the Triadic ... VIEW POST
All The 2024-2026 In Colors
Oh my goodness it’s hot and humid! But on the plus side it means I can stay in and read instead of mowing the lawn. So today I decided to create a bright and cheerful bookmark using the 2024-2026 In Colors®. These are Peach Pie, Pretty In Pink, Petunia Pop, Summer Splash and Shy Shamrock. Rather than a complicated floral image I kept things really simple and selected a flower and leaf stamp from the Choose Happy Stamp Set. Then armed with black ink and Stampin’ Blends I set to work. FIVE ... VIEW POST
Daisies & Tom Clancy
My regular readers will know that for the past few years I’ve created ‘simple Sunday’ projects. These are easy ideas that require no expensive tools or special techniques. Today’s project using the Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set has actually been on my mind for a while. Unfortunately the few times I’ve attemped it I’ve always been disappointed with the result. So today I decided to give it one last try. Finally it worked, and all I needed was to seek out a very fat paperback book. Tom Clancy to the ... VIEW POST
A Paper Pumpkin Thing: 10 Years Of Growth
It’s the first Friday in the month and that means it’s time for the A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop. This month we’re celebrating ten years of Paper Pumpkin kits with alternate projects using the March 2023 kit. The colour palette used in the aptly named “10 Years Of Growth” kit is absolutely gorgeous and very spring-like. I’ve even created an image using some of these as inspiration for future projects. For my alternate projects I decided to make a card along with a quick and easy gift card ... VIEW POST
Florets Colour Testing
I love it when Stampin’ Up! creates Designer Series Paper (DSP) with images that coordinate with a stamp set and/or dies. It adds extra versatility, and is especially great if you’re not a fan of colouring or fussy-cutting. However one of the downsides for me is that I can get caught in a rut with the colours. So every time I pick up a stamp set like Framed Florets I can’t visualise anything other than the colours used by the DSP designers. That’s where quick experimental projects can be ... VIEW POST
