Yesterday’s project was a bookmark created with the help of a custom mask cut from a Post-It Note®. Today I decided to use a pre-made mask to create a very striking design with black ink on white card. Sadly Stampin’ Up! is retiring the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks, along with the embellishments and punch used today. However this weeks TGIF Challenge gave me the excuse to use them one last time. The result is this gender neutral thank you card that’s perfect for when someone really goes above ... VIEW POST
Symbols Of Fortune For A Pretty Birthday
After making the decision many years ago to blog with a new project every day I've made thousands! Since I started counting I've designed 391 bookmarks, 100 boxes/bags, 224 gift card holders, 248 gift tags plus lots of other projects. Today's card is number 2365. The inspiration, as so often happens, came from patterned paper. This pretty floral design with tiny butterflies is another from the Symbols of Fortune 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. For the birthday ... VIEW POST
Hand-Penned Birthday Reminder
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.

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. One of the free items you can choose with a $120 order is the Power of Hope Bundle. This bundle consists of the Power of Hope Stamp Set and the Stone 3D Embossing Folder. I gave you a sneak peek of the stamp set a few days ago, so today I'm focusing on the embossing folder... WONDERFUL MOMENTS For my sentiment I went to the Wonderful Moments Stamp Set. At ...

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
