Dressed To Impress Once More

February 28, 2022 Leave a Comment

Welcome to the start of a new week and the end of another month.  Today I wanted to create something for my daughter.  She’s an Avon Rep in the UK (@AvonByKaternoster) and I thought she might enjoy a pretty notepad.  There’s one stamp set that would be perfect for her and that’s Dressed To Impress.  Sadly I think this stamp set and the coordinating All Dressed Up Dies might be on the retiring list being revealed in three weeks.  So this may well be my last opportunity to ...

Dressed To Impress With A Lipstick Or Two

August 6, 2021 2 Comments

Today's project was one of those happy accidents that happen from time to time. I was sorting through through some of my older but still available stamp sets and came across Dressed To Impress. This is such a fun set including a shoe, perfume bottle and flower images. But my favourite image is the lipstick. This set hasn't seen ink in a long time, so I decided to take a break from organising and make a quick project instead. COLOURFUL LIPSTICK I began with a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of ... VIEW POST

Dressed To Impress – Paisley Style

January 14, 2021 2 Comments

Right now I'm having lots of fun exploring Stampin' Up!'s Designer Series Paper (DSP). Yesterday I created a fun gift bag in a suit and tie design using the In Good Taste DSP. As I assembled the project I thought about how taste in clothes and other things changes over time. This was never more apparent than when I saw the paisley pattern in the new Well Suited DSP. Once upon a time I really disliked paisley, but this pattern, I love. It made me want to pair it with a sentiment from the ... VIEW POST

Not Sure I’ll Ever Be This Bold

August 11, 2020 Leave a Comment

I love to colour but one thing that I struggle with is highlights. So I was very pleased with myself when I worked out how to make a flat lipstick image look rounded. Sometimes you just have to keep trying, in the certain knowledge that eventually you'll get there. To celebrate today's milestone I went looking for a really bold colour that would match my lipstick to the sentiment. Bold I may be, but probably not THAT bold. QUICK BACKGROUND LAYERS I began with a 3-1/2" x 5-1/2" spiral ... VIEW POST

Being Bold (After A Test Run)

March 9, 2020 Leave a Comment

After many years of papercrafting I've learned a thing or two. While fancy techniques can be impressive, and special gadgets are useful, few crafters mention this one tip. Do a test run. So it was with today's project. I had a project in mind using the Dressed to Impress Stamp Set, with an idea of how it would look when finished. But before putting ink to card I did a test on some scrap paper to decide on a colour combination and colouring technique. I think the the few minutes I took ... VIEW POST

A Decorated Notepad For Every Situation

February 29, 2020 Leave a Comment

It's no secret that I'm a list person and consequently love pretty notebooks and notepads. In fact I have quite a few, each one designed to address a specific need. The other day I realised that the one I use for simple shopping lists was almost gone. So in true papercrafter style I found a plain notepad and turned it into something much nicer. FIRST CAME THE NOTEPAD This project all started with the notepad I found on a recent trip to Dollarama. The pages are 3-1/4" by 5-3/4" ... VIEW POST
