Happiness Is Not Always Blue

May 6, 2022 2 Comments

I have to admit that since I got my hands on the 2022-2024 In Colors I’ve been a bit obsessed with the new blue, Starry Sky. But who can blame me, it’s simply gorgeous. However I decided today it was time to do something completely different. So instead of bold blues I went with soft colours for a more romantic feel. The pretty florals of the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set was perfect for what I had in mind. In no time at all I had exactly what I had planned. HAPPINESS ABOUNDS I began this ... VIEW POST

Sneak Peek Recap And More!

May 3, 2022 2 Comments

At last it’s here! After lots of anticipation the Stampin’ Up! 2022/2023 Annual Catalogue is now live for customers. It’s been fun playing with the products I was able to get during the Demonstrator pre-order period. However starting today I now have the whole catalogue to choose from, and it’s hard to decide what to get first. I’ll probably order a couple of stamp sets, some stand-alone dies and maybe some more paper. But while I wrestle with that dilemma, here’s a quick recap of my recent ... VIEW POST

Celebrating With Painted Poppies

April 24, 2022 Leave a Comment

Did you know that this month marks 20 years since Stampin’ Up! came to Canada. I was still in the UK then and it would be another 8 years before I moved here and discovered papercrafting. Since becoming an independent demonstrator I’ve had the privilege of writing for Inspiration Canada, the Canadian demonstrators’ monthly newsletter. This month my editor challenged me to design a project using only colours that were available in 2002, So I chose Night of Navy and Real Red and created this ... VIEW POST

Create this striking black and white thank you card using the Artfully Layered Stamp Set and retiring Basic Pattern Decorative Masks from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Putting Away The Masks

April 16, 2022 2 Comments

Yesterday’s project was a bookmark created with the help of a custom mask cut from a Post-It Note®. Today I decided to use a pre-made mask to create a very striking design with black ink on white card. Sadly Stampin’ Up! is retiring the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks, along with the embellishments and punch used today. However this weeks TGIF Challenge gave me the excuse to use them one last time. The result is this gender neutral thank you card that’s perfect for when someone really goes above ... VIEW POST

A Paper Pumpkin Thing: Beyond The Horizon

April 8, 2022 2 Comments

Welcome to another A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop. Our hop is a little later than normal due to the delay some of the team experienced in getting their kits. Despite the frustration, we all agree that the Beyond the Horizon Paper Pumpkin kit was definitely worth the wait. MOUNTAIN HORIZON My first project is a really simple "Thinking of you" card. I have to be honest and say that the design was a bit of an accident. You see I'd just finished another alternate project for my blog post ... VIEW POST

Beautiful Moments Finale

March 27, 2022 Leave a Comment

Today is Mother’s Day in the UK. It’s much earlier than here in Canada but their daffodils are already blooming. Ours will be a while yet given the rollercoaster temperatures we’re getting. Later today I’ll get to video chat with my daughter and three granddaughters. Meanwhile I shall enjoy my morning coffee from the new “grandma” mug they sent me earlier this week. Today’s simple Sunday project is a “thinking of you” card using three more retiring products including the gorgeous Beautiful ... VIEW POST
