We haven't had snow, yet, but I can feel it's coming. I've finally had to give in and get out some warmer clothes, and the heavier quilt's on the bed too. It's now I start thinking that I'd definitely be happier if we could have the beauty of snow without the cold. I'm not good with cold, for me winter is more likely to be spent papercrafting than outdoors. Last week I created a few different projects using the Snowman Season Stamp Set for the November IDEAS Tutorial PDF. This latest ... VIEW POST
Blending Brushes For Simple Colour
My regular readers will know that I love colouring. Just recently I seem to have been obsessed with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. It's hard not to be when it's so easy to get great results, especially over larger areas. But that's not the only way to add colour to a project. Today's idea using a Blending Brush was one of those that just popped into my head. It's a lot less precise than Stampin' Blends but it certainly was worth the try. BLENDING BRUSH BACKGROUND I began with a 2" ... VIEW POST
Forever Blossoms For A Colour Design Challenge
Where do you get your inspiration? Do you actively search for it, or does it creep up on you? Today's project was one of those that happened to me, rather than me deciding what to make. I've signed up with a few design challenge blogs to get their e-mails and that's where it all started. The Paper Players challenge this week is to use three specific colours to create a project. I could also add one more colour of my own choosing. From there I went looking for a leafy stamp set but got ... VIEW POST
Merci Chocolates For A Quick Treat
Sometimes its nice to say thank you with a treat. As a papercrafter I think it's even nicer to say thank you with a treat that's in a pretty package. So when I found a box of Merci chocolate (the stick kind) I couldn't resist. After a bit of trial and error I came up with this quick and easy idea using just a quarter sheet of cardstock. MERCI PACKAGE BASICS I began by using my Paper Trimmer to cut a 2-3/4" x 8-3/8" piece of Soft Succulent Card. Then with the short side at the top I ... VIEW POST
Sweets & Treats For A Simple Project
After my World Card Making Day 24 hour marathon at the weekend I wanted to create something quick and easy to wind down. So what better way to practice my colouring and design ideas than on a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of card. Of course it certainly doesn't hurt that I can turn that strip into a bookmark with a punch and a bit of ribbon. So out came the Sweets & Treats Stamp Set and a bunch of Stampin' Blends alcohol markers... On my strip of Thick Whisper White Card I first needed to stamp ... VIEW POST
Peaceful Winter Scenes Won’t Be Long
So as the weather cools down and then warms up we're obviously heading into autumn. We're not quite into sweater weather yet, but it's coming. I think I'm ready, or am I? I suppose my problem is that the actual weather never quite lives up to the exciting or romanticised scenes I have in my head. The only one that comes close is winter after a fresh snowfall. This is of course until I have to start shovelling. It was for this reason that I couldn't resist the Peaceful Place 12" x 12" ... VIEW POST
