All this hot and sunny weather makes me glad I live overlooking the bay. There's a nice cooling breeze coming off the water and I can see for miles. This was the excuse I needed to finally get to work on a seaside-themed frame that I've been thinking about. Mostly I've used products from the Come Sail Away suite, but there's some other seaside extras too. BASIC BACKGROUND The display area of the frame is a little under 12" x 12", so I could simply trim some 12" x 12" Designer Series ... VIEW POST
Putting Away The Punch Board
Once again I've found myself designing a project with a retiring product and wondering why on earth I didn't use it more. Today's revelation came with the Gift Bag Punch Board. I made myself feel a little better however by including a tiny sneak peek from the Stampin' Up! 2019/2020 Annual Catalogue. GIFT BAG PUNCH BOARD Before we get to the new stuff, let's start with the bag I created using the retiring Gift Bag Punch Board. For this I decided to use two sheets of dotted Call Me ... VIEW POST
Happy (whatever) Anniversary
I've made a lot of gift tags over the years. Probably most of them were for Christmas, closely followed by birthdays. What I don't think I've made very often is a tag for an anniversary. Of course when you think of anniversary you probably think of wedding anniversary, but there are others too. Anniversary of when you met, or got a new job, or moved house. The anniversary list could be endless. So here's my gift tag for a million different occasions. THE TAG BASE I began with a ... VIEW POST
Banners For You For Ever
Sometimes I buy a stamp set or dies not because I have an immediate need for them but because I can see their long-term potential. Banners for You was one of those stamp sets, and of course I had to get the coordinating Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies too. Although there are a number of words and phrases in the set, what drew me in were the four different banner outlines. These simple stamps would allow me to create an infinite number of custom banner sentiments. Fast forward to the ... VIEW POST
What a morning!
I suppose being Friday the 13th I shouldn't complain too much, but I've just had a morning where everything was just that little bit more difficult that it should be. It started with an e-mail from UPS telling me that my latest order from Stampin' Up! which was routed via Richmond, BC (don't ask me why) has spent the past week stuck in customs. Instead of being delivered to me yesterday it's now not due until next Thursday! So much for spending the weekend playing with the new limited edition ... VIEW POST
Tropical Chic
A couple of years back Stampin' Up! had a stamp set called Botanical Blooms. I loved it and was so sad when it retired. Stampin' Up! must have taken pity on me because now we have a stamp set with a similar feel that excites me just as much, Tropical Chic, and I couldn't wait to get it inky for this week's simple Sunday project. I began with a 2" x 5-1/2" piece of Thick Whisper White Card shaped at the top using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. This is my basic bookmark blank. Then I ... VIEW POST
