Create this cute "season's greetings" card using the Penguin Place Stamp Set and coordinating Penguin Builder Punch from Stampin' Up!

Penguin Weather

November 19, 2022 Leave a Comment

This time last week I was preparing for my first craft show of the season. I love talking to everyone who visits my table and get feedback on my designs. It’s funny how many people are drawn to projects that include images of animals and thankfully I had lots to show them. I do need to stock up though, so during my personal “24 cards in 24 hours” challenge animals did feature on many of the cards. Number 6 of the 24 was this one with a custom-coloured embossed penguin. EMBOSSED ... VIEW POST

After The Storm But No Deer In Sight

December 2, 2021 Leave a Comment

Well following yesterday's confusion over the blog hop which isn't actually until next week, thankfully my day improved. If you can overlook the fact that my blog was 5 hours late being published, it was quite productive really. Today I need to double-check all the entries in my diary for December just to make sure I haven't made any other silly errors. Once that's done I want to plan out how I'm going to make it to the end of my to do list before running out of month. For today's project I ... VIEW POST

Fancy floral birthday gift card holder created using the Perennial Essence patterned paper and other products from the Stampin' Up! 2019 Annual Catalogue. #papercraftwithme

Don’t Forget The Annual Catalogue

September 18, 2019 2 Comments

Today's project is a gift for a friend. I started out with plain card but quickly abandoned that idea in favour of the Perennial Essence 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. Before too long I had a really pretty gift card holder, and most of what I used was from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. It reminded me that with the focus on the new Holiday Catalogue it's easy to forget about all the other great products available. Do you do that too? PRETTY PERENNIAL ESSENCE I ... VIEW POST

Birthday gift tag created using the Floral Essence and Painted Glass Stamp Sets on a background of Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP, all from Stampin' Up!

Mosaic DSP Inspires a Tag

July 18, 2019 4 Comments

Today's project had a very vague beginning, I wanted to make a large gift tag. So with just that in my mind I started to look through my packs of Designer Series Paper (DSP) for a background. I often find that just looking at a DSP design will spark an idea, even if that paper never actually gets used. Today though, in the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP I found a scrap that quite literally became the base for everything else I did this morning. MOSAIC TAG BASE The scrap of Mosaic Mood ... VIEW POST

Noble Peacock Colours

June 25, 2019 Leave a Comment

I love the way that Stampin' Up! have created 'suites' in their catalogues. Each suite is a collection of products that are all designed to complement each other, and make coordination effortless. One of these suites is Noble Peacock. As with all suites there is a stamp set (Royal Peacock), plus there's also dies, Designer Series Paper, ribbon and embellishments. I have to be honest and say while I like the Royal Peacock Stamp Set and some of the other products, it might not make it into ... VIEW POST

Happy Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2019 2 Comments

We're already halfway through February and today is Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day in North America is celebrated very differently to the UK where I grew up. Over there a Valentine's card is sent to your significant other or, anonymously to someone you'd like to be your significant other. Here Valentine's cards and gifts are given more widely, even by young children to all their classmates. I've no doubt you'll see lots of red and/or hearts today so I thought I'd do something a little ... VIEW POST
