This weekend has been a busy one with lots to do and sadly not much time for crafting. However it did remind me that I needed a new To-Do List pad. So with that as an excuse I managed to squeeze in a quick half-hour session in my craft room. I already had a 3-1/2” x 7” pad I'd purchased a couple of weeks ago from Dollarama. While they’re useful (and inexpensive) there’s no attempt to make them look pretty, but with stamps, ink, card and some embellishments I quickly put that right. I began ... VIEW POST
Simple Sunday Joy
Neutral Without the Noel
Back at the beginning of September I was part of the IDEAS blog hop when our theme was inspirations. For that I used a colour combination inspired by a card I’d seen on Facebook. Today’s project also draws on a colour combination I’d come across, but this time it’s the October 2026 Paper Pumpkin kit called Noel Greetings. That kit coordinates with the Neutral Noel Suite on pages 16 and 17 of the current catalogue. So, using the Neutral Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP), I created this ... VIEW POST
Faux Quilted Frames
Today’s project is another one using the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set and coordinating dies. These items were originally released in the May to September Catalogue but are now part of the Online Exclusives range. The Phrases & Frames Dies were one of the first of the new ‘Impressions’ Dies, designed to give a deeply textured result. To get the best outcome you will need the new Impressions Plate. However the dies still work without it. Using the stamp set and dies together I created this ... VIEW POST
IDEAS Blog Hop: Relaxing Inspiration
This month the IDEAS team has a theme we've not used before. It's called Inspiration and we're sharing how we find inspiration for our projects. It's a question I'm asked quite regularly and the simple answer is it can come from all sorts of places, not just from other people's cards. However that's exactly where I got my inspiration this time, and while the layers on the original card are gorgeous, it was actually the colour scheme that caught my eye. In fact it was over a year ago that I ... VIEW POST
Waterside Thoughts
Today I have a lot of things to get done. In recent weeks and months it’s become clear to me that I could probably medal at the procrastination Olympics. So I’m using a combination of ‘brain dumping’ and ‘time blocking’ techniques to try to get myself back on track. First on today's list was to create a quick and easy card using the Waterside Retreat 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP). Two different but coordinating patterns, two colours of coordinating card and this is what I came up ... VIEW POST
Glow Of Harvest
So yesterday was a both exciting and frustrating. Exciting because I received an order from Stampin’ Up! including August’s Product of the Month; the Glow of Harvest 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP) Pack. But frustrating because after making a project my internet and/or computer refused to cooperate and I was unable to complete my blog post. So despite being a full day late, here it is… a friendship thank you card. Of course you’ll know it’s for a very good friend because I included two ... VIEW POST
