I don’t know about you but I have a hard time visualising things in the ‘wrong’ colours. Like pink chickens or purple sunflowers. I’ve even found that I get hung up with Designer Series Paper (DSP) and just can’t see the coordinating stamp images in any other colour palette. So I surprised myself during my personal 24 cards in 24 hours challenge and really stepped outside my comfort zone. Using the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set I created this “thinking of you” card with an unusual Night of Navy maple ... VIEW POST
Goodbye Autumn Leaves
Despite the chill in the air, yesterday turned out to be a very lovely day. We made the most of it by driving to Parrsboro for lunch. Then on our way back we visited the Lighthouse Park at Five Islands. What struck me most was that almost all the leaves have now fallen. Of course we still have the evergreen trees but it’s sad to see the autumn colours gone. So to mark this seasonal milestone I created this project full of warm tones using the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set. I began this simple ... VIEW POST
Soft Autumn Thank You
My Facebook memory for today was a couple of photos I’d taken four years ago. They were the same view of maple trees in my front yard taken one day apart. I was actually comparing how different the autumn leaves looked as the sun came up versus when the sun was higher in the sky. This memory gave me the spark of an idea for today’s card project. So after pulling out four ink pads along with the Soft Seedlings and Go To Greetings Stamp Sets I quickly got started. SOFT SEEDLINGS START I ... VIEW POST
Beauty Of Dies
The beauty of papercrafting is that there are so many different ways to create projects. Of course that doesn’t mean every project I make is different. In fact I sometimes feel I can get fixated on one or two techniques and forget about all the other wonderful things I can do with the tools at my disposal. Today was not one of those days as I resurrected an oldie but goodie; the faux letterpress technique. All you need is your standard die-cutting machine, a die and a Silicone Craft ... VIEW POST
Simple Soft Seedlings
How can we be halfway through October already! I’m definitely not prepared for winter but hopefully we can still enjoy milder autumn weather for a while longer. Leaves are definitely top of mind right now, and so for today’s simple Sunday project I wanted to create a quick and easy card using the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set. The maple leaf and seed pod images are gorgeous as this “thinking of you” card shows. SPRING SEEDLINGS It's funny that I always think of trees as bearing fruit in the ... VIEW POST
True Beauty
Sometimes I repeatedly overlook a stamp set because I’m hung up on one particular image that doesn’t appeal to me. I sometimes end up getting the set, but only when I realise that I actually love everything else. This month I experienced a completely different dilemma. I fell in love with one particular die in the Organic Beauty set; the large trellis. But I’ve been hesitant to get it and the coordinating True Beauty Stamp Set as it was more flowers. What was I thinking? This bundle is ... VIEW POST
