Create this anniversary card using the Celebrating You Stamp Set with Ornate Frames and Encircled In Beauty Dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Celebrating You For An Anniversary

March 15, 2022 Leave a Comment

Every card maker needs a good set of basic sentiments.  Over the years I’ve collected a lot of them.  Mostly they’ve come as part of a set with images, but not all.  My current favourite sentiment-only stamp set is Celebrating You.  This set of 16 sentiments covers most celebrations, and the fonts used are simply gorgeous.  They’re crisp and clear and neat (I'm not keen on many of the ‘looser’ script styles).  Today I decided it was time to make an anniversary card, and Celebrating You was there ...

Forever Fern and Forever Flourishing

March 3, 2022 Leave a Comment

Sometimes when you have a very sore throat you just have to go with the flow... Like right now as I am fighting off a cold kindly given to me by my hubby. It's my granddaughters' first birthday today and twins were definitely on my mind. In fact this project is a collaboration with some additional input from my daughter, the twins’ Mummy. So with the cuddling koalas from the Count On Me Stamp Set and the Forever Fern and Forever Flourishing Dies close at hand, I set to work. COUNT ON ME ... VIEW POST

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 ...

Sentimental Swirls For A Simple Card

February 27, 2022 2 Comments

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… I love the new Sentimental Swirls Stamp Set.  There’s something really satisfying about stamping those bold outlines.  They look good just as they are, or coloured in using a variety of techniques.  What’s more, the flowers and one of the leaves coordinate with two punches although they’re certainly not essential.  However for today’s simple Sunday project I wanted to concentrate on the largest of the swirls.  With some patterned paper and a little ...

Wildflower Path With Bamboo

February 21, 2022 Leave a Comment

Why is it that so many papercrafters say they find making masculine cards the most difficult?  I have to admit I used to feel that way too until I developed a sort of blueprint. I’ll often look for a non-flowery paper (or embossing folder), and then stick to simple shapes.  But that doesn’t mean it has to be boring.  Today’s masculine / gender-neutral card is a perfect example of that.  After choosing a simple bamboo patterned paper and the Wildflower Path Stamp Set for my ...

Simply Elegant Sympathy Card

February 15, 2022 Leave a Comment

After yesterday’s Valentine’s Day project I decided to tone it down today.  As I was going through my stock of cards I realised I have very few sympathy and get well cards.  After birthday cards these seem to be the ones that I sell the most.  So with that in mind I decided to create a simple sympathy card.  For that I wanted a suitable patterned paper with muted colours in a design that wasn’t too busy.  I found it in the Simply Elegant Specialty Designer Series Paper ...
