With all the focus now on Christmas (and Thanksgiving in the US) it's easy to forget that other reasons to send cards doesn't stop. People are still getting engaged and married, having babies and celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, retirement and more. So today I decided to bring you a floral birthday card using pretty Hand-Penned paper. PRETTY PENNED FLOWERS I actually created this card as part of my 24 cards in 24 hours challenge marking World Card Making Day last month. If you ... VIEW POST
Pine Cone Paper Used At Last
I've been looking through the Stampin' Up! inventory and was pleased to see a lot of retiring products are still available. So that meant I could pull out the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper (DSP) for today's card project. As I sorted through the various scraps of paper I had left I realised that one design in particular needed no cutting. It seems that at some point I'd planned to use the pine cone pattern for a card but never did. Today would be the day the pine cone paper finally ... VIEW POST
Stone 3D Embossing Folder Sneak Peek
Today I have another sneak peek from the new Sale-A-Bration Brochure. Well it's more like part two of a previous sneak peek.

Taking Subtle To A Whole New Level
Playing with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder is always fun, but I think I've taken it to a whole new level. The other day I made a masculine card using the embossing folder to create an ink embossed background. Today I decided to try something new that I've not seen anywhere else and... Well I'll let you decide the result for yourself. SUBTLE BUT AMAZING This project all started with a piece of Crumb Cake Card and a Crumb Cake ink pad. First I wiped the ink pad on the inside of the ... VIEW POST
Punch, Then Punch Again To Be Sure
For today's Simple Sunday project I thought it would be fun to decorate another pocket photo album. These have been really popular at the craft fairs I've attended over the past couple of weeks. Many people commented what great gifts photo albums can make. They are meaningful and not difficult to put together, and not too expensive to mail either. Today's project is a case in point, pretty paper a stamp set and punch and you're good to go. SMILES & LOVE I began with a pocket ... VIEW POST
Perennial Essence Is Pretty Paper
I love the Perennial Essence 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. It's so pretty and makes creating stunning cards really easy. Stampin' Up! product designer Julie Alusa was inspired by French painter Claude Monet's work and decided to paint her own masterpiece. The painting she created was then used to create the amazing DSP. And while I can't paint like Julie, her work allows me to add a little perennial essence to my projects. PERENNIAL ESSENCE FLORALS I began this project ... VIEW POST
