I love using vellum. At it’s most basic, vellum diffuses any colour or pattern behind it. However one of my favourite techniques is to run it through my Cut & Emboss Machine inside an embossing folder. This not only adds texture, but also stresses the vellum so the design appears white. By running it backwards and then forwards through the machine you can even create a shadow effect. That’s how I created the layer behind the Hello, Irresistible 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (DSP) used on ... VIEW POST
Cane Weave
As so often happens when a new catalogue comes out, I’ve been neglecting some of my other toys. While I’m sure no one can blame for having fun with new Stampin’ Up! products, it does make me feel a little guilty. That’s why I’ve been revisiting some older (but still available) items like the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder and Labels Aglow Dies. Of course I couldn’t resist pairing them with a new stamp set. There’s something about the font used for the Layering Leaves sentiments that I simply ... VIEW POST
IDEAS Blog Hop: In Color Me Happy
It’s the first Wednesday of the month and time for another IDEAS blog hop. This month our theme is “Colour Me Happy". It’s no secret that I love the 2023-2025 In Colors and so I decided to create all my projects using three of the five; Boho Blue, Copper Clay and Wild Wheat. For the IDEAS Tutorial bundle I designed two cards and a gift card holder using a simple watermark technique. But not before I painted with In Color inks and did a little embossing to create an eye-catching notebook ... VIEW POST

Cheerful Daisies Dies
Just like that April is over and today is the final day of the Last Chance promotion. Then, from midnight tonight (Mountain Time) customers will finally be able to buy new products from the 2023/2024 Annual Catalogue. As an Independent Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator I was allowed to order a few things early, but I’m excited to be able to choose from the complete catalogue. So today is my final sneak peek project, and I wanted to showcase the new Cheerful Daisies Dies along with some of the new core ... VIEW POST
Basic Open Weave
Oh where did the weekend go? I always seem to run out of weekend before I run out of things I want to get done. Still, I did manage to find some time to craft and already have tomorrow’s final sneak peek project made. But before we get to that I have a birthday card project for you. It combines the Beautifully Happy Stamp Set (only available until the Stampin’ Up! 2023 Sale-A-Bration promotion ends tomorrow), with another of the Basic 3D Embossing Folders available to customers starting on ...
