Today's project is another one that came about because I have been reorganising my craft studio. Once again I came across a stamp set I haven't used in ages, this time it was Prized Peony. The large floral images and beautifully scripted sentiments work well with simple cards, but today I went with something a little more involved. PEONY IMAGE My project began when I stamped the peony and bud image onto Thick Basic White Card using Smoky Slate ink. Choosing this rather than black ... VIEW POST
A Paper Pumpkin Thing – The Adventure Begins
It may be August but today's A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop features the July kit called The Adventure Begins, and what an adventure it's been. With everything included to make twelve tri-fold cards it was hard to know where to start. There were so many possibilities. The scenic backgrounds lend themselves to lots of occasions so for today's alternate projects I decided to go with Christmas. Well why not? And just to make the kit stretch even further my two cards used just one card base ... VIEW POST
Simply Elegant Is, Well, Elegant
There is something quite wonderful about the Simply Elegant 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). It has some lovely gender neutral patterns and I love the Basic Black, Basic Gray and Very Vanilla colour palette. But the star of the pack has to be the amazing foiled designs on the reverse of each sheet. The combination of gold, silver and copper may sound a bit over the top, but it works. And as I discovered today you don't need a lot to create a simply elegant gift ... VIEW POST
Hello, Bonjour, G’Day And More
Hello again, and happy Wednesday. A few days ago I showed you a multi-language thank you card using one of the folders in the Thanks & Hello Embossing Folders pack. Today it's the turn of the multi-language "hello" folder for a sweet baby card. This time though, just to show you how amazing it is, there's no special treatment for the embossing folder. I also couldn't resist pulling out the Turtle Friends Stamp Set again. Turtles may be my new favourite creature. HELLO When I ... VIEW POST
Scripty 3D Embossing Folder’s Last Chapter
Today's project uses two more retiring products, plus one that is being reconfigured. My regular followers will know that I like to use up every scrap of paper. This is especially true when it's being retired like the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (DSP). When it's a really small piece, I often like to add extra detail to the background. That's how I ended up with this striking card design using the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder. PEONY GARDEN This project began with the 2" x 2" ... VIEW POST
Tone-On-Tone Embossing Technique
Every now and then I'm reminded of an old technique and sometimes a stamp set prompts that memory. This was what happened when I pulled out the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set. I realised that the butterfly images would be perfect for a tone-on-tone background technique using clear embossing powder. Clear Embossing Technique I began this project with one of the dual butterfly images from the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set and a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" layer of Merry Merlot Card. Using VersaMark ink I ...
