One of the sad parts of the catalogue change-over period is feeling I haven't shown you all the projects I'd planned. I have always had a policy of not showing you things you can no longer buy which means watching the Demonstrator reports quite closely. Today though I have some good news regarding the Blackberry Beauty 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP). Although it's retiring one last delivery has been received by Stampin' Up! So while it's still in stock I wanted to show you this idea ... VIEW POST
Delivering Cheer For A Little Longer
It may be nearly Christmas but that's not the only reason I'm crafting. In my family there's quite a few birthdays in December and several of them are right around the 25th. As the years have gone on I've discovered more and more people for whom the same is true. So it seemed only right that I intersperse my Christmas projects with birthday ones. That doesn't mean I have to put away my 'Christmas' stamp sets though. Today's project was created using the retiring Delivering Cheer Stamp Set ... VIEW POST
Delivering Cheer And A Christmas Tree
One of my favourite types of stamp sets is one that allows me to mix and match pieces to create new images. Delivering Cheer is one of those sets and it's a lot of fun. With two sets of legs and three different images with arms it's really quite versatile. Today I decided it was time to show you the Christmas card I made with this set. DELIVERING THE TREE I'd already used the images with the bouquet of flowers and pile of gifts, so that left the tree to use today. For the bottom ... VIEW POST
Penned Flowers For A Pretty Accent
Today's project was the result of another one of my "using up scraps" afternoons. It actually started with the pretty background piece that was left over after I decorated a small treat box. From there I didn't really have a plan other than to find some coordinating colours and pretty shapes. Once I'd decided to use the Penned Flowers Dies for the main accent it all came together very quickly. BACKGROUND LAYERS Taking my cue from the 1-1/2" x 3-1/4" scrap from the Blackberry Beauty ...

Delivering Another Simple Card Idea
When I made today's project using the Delivering Cheer Stamp Set I thought I'd come up with a cute Christmas card. But several days later as I looked at the image of the lady carrying a huge pile of gifts I had another idea. The pile of gifts could actually be for any occasion. With a simple change of sentiment you could have a card for a birthday, baby shower, wedding, anything. So now I've added that to my design ideas list for a future blog post. But first, here's my original Christmas ... VIEW POST
Delivering Cheer With A Large Bouquet
Have you heard of two-step stamping? Most often it's where you stamp an outline image using one stamp and then fill in with colour or extra detail using a different stamp. Sometimes however the two (or more) involve stamping parts to create a complete image. This is the process used with the Delivering Cheer Stamp Set which comes with a couple of bodies complete with legs and feet. After stamping the body, you then add one of three images featuring hands that are holding a large item so no ... VIEW POST
