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
Bragworthy Meets Tasteful Textile Embossing
With the new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue launch and the start of the Sale-A-Bration promotion, yesterday was a very busy day. As promised I’ve updated my blog posts with links to all the products used to make each sneak peek project. I've also added links to yesterday's sneak peek review. So when I sat down yesterday evening to make a card it needed to be quick. In my head I thought I'd simply use a large sentiment and patterned paper. But when I picked up the Bragworthy sentiment suddenly my ... VIEW POST
Peaceful Deer Encircled In Beauty
One week today it will be Christmas Day and the final rush has begun. No matter how well you plan there's always those last minute jobs that simply can't be done earlier. Like buying fresh fruit and vegetables for Christmas dinner. But then there's the jobs that have been on your list since last Christmas, like making sure you have enough gift tags for the gifts. Or some extra cards to give. Today's project is one of my final Christmas cards for the year and uses the Peaceful Deer Stamp Set ... VIEW POST
More From One Happy Family
Once again I've been making non-Christmas projects using some products that are most definitely Christmas themed. It was only after I'd finished that I realised that both the One Happy Family Stamp Set and Christmas Trimmings Dies are from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue and will be around for a while yet. In fact only the the Timber 3D Embossing Folder is from the July to December 2021 Mini Catalogue, and it's not retiring. This is fortunate since it's the first time I've used the Timber 3D ...

Sailing Home On A Simple Sunday
Today is going to be one of 'those' days. I have a stack of things I want to get done and only a limited time to do them in. Add to that our forecast is talking about an 'atmospheric river' that's expected to drop 4" (100+mm) of rain tomorrow and Tuesday. This means that with the high winds that will accompany the rain it's possible we'll lose power, at least for time. So today's project has to be a quick one and I reached for the very apt Sailing Home Stamp Set. SAILING HOME I began ... VIEW POST
Prized Peony For A Thinking Of You Card
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
