I must be honest and say that the design of this simple project was only half planned. You see I'd decided to create a "Thinking of you" card and reached for the appropriately named Go To Greetings Stamp Set. However when I opened up the stamp case I found some Basic White Card that had already been stamped with the largest of the Thinking of You sentiments in Tuxedo Black ink. It was obviously meant to be, so with the new Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder I set to work LEAF FALL First I ... VIEW POST
Penned and Pressed
Today’s project marks a huge milestone for me and one I never imagined I reach. This congratulations card is my card design number 2,500. In fact I’ve probably made quite a few more than that as I didn’t start numbering them right away. I have to say that my skills have most definitely improved over the 8 years or so that I’ve been papercrafting. I’m still not sure I have a ‘style’, but this card, using the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set and coordinating Penned Flowers Dies, is definitely a ... VIEW POST
Highlighting The Fern
Sometimes I just need to start the day a little later. I’ve noticed as I get older that I can only push myself so far, then I need to reset by sleeping a little longer and taking the day at a much slower pace. That’s not always easy with several calls/meetings planned. You’ve probably guessed that today is one of those days. Still, I managed to create today’s card project between scheduled appointments. It’s a masculine / gender neutral “thinking of you” card with a bold fern embossed background ... VIEW POST
Painted Christmas Revisited
While the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue gives us products for a full year, the same is not true of their Mini Catalogues. I love that these ‘Minis’ give me additional seasonal goodies but sometimes I feel that 6 months is not enough. Admittedly some items get carried over, however that rarely happens for the paper packs. This year though I get a second chance with the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP). I especially love this pine cones pattern and couldn’t wait to use it again on a ... VIEW POST
Treat Someone Today
Today is Father’s Day and it looks like the weather is going to cooperate. Like many people when it’s nice I like to get outside and enjoy it. That means less time indoors to craft, although I never stop entirely. This time of year also sees lots of celebrations with graduations, weddings, births etc. So for today’s simple Sunday post I designed a quick box project using the Scalloped Kraft Treat Box, a little paper and the Celebrating You Stamp Set. It’s food-safe too and perfect for a homemade ... VIEW POST
Box Clever When In A Hurry
So this is going to be a super quick blog post. We have a severe winter storm that's just started to ramp up and I'm not sure how long the internet and power will stay on. With that in mind I decided that decorating a gift box would be a speedy option. The sentiment is quite generic, but makes this a box that can be used for any occasion. Making up the box is really simple as it comes ready assembled as a base with separate lid. All I had to do was fold in the side flaps on each piece, ... VIEW POST
