Envelopes Have An Inside Too

December 18, 2020 Leave a Comment

Today my project features another retiring product, the Envelopes Dies. I was hoping that these dies would be carried over but sadly that was not to be. So I was determined to use them to show you what you might be missing, with a gentle reminder that envelopes have an inside too. FANCY PHRASES FLORALS My project actually began with the Fancy Phrases Stamp Set from the Stampin' Up! 2020/2021 Annual Catalogue. Using Tuxedo Black ink I first stamped the large floral image across the ... VIEW POST

Let Me Plant A Seed Of An Idea

July 25, 2020 Leave a Comment

Today's project came about because I wanted to remind you to consider dies even if you don't like the coordinating stamp set. As it happens I did buy the stamps for the dies I used today, but it was the dies that drew me in. That's because as soon as I saw the Forever Flourishing Dies I could see how useful they would be. I have a lot of flower stamps and dies but not nearly as many leaves and branch dies. So adding these dies would expand my design options. To prove my point I decided to ... VIEW POST

Stampin’ Blends Scribbles For Shading

July 4, 2020 Leave a Comment

I'm always looking for shortcuts and quick tips to make crafting quicker and easier. Then when I feel comfortable with a new product or technique I can experiment a bit more. None of us started out being expert or even good at something, we all had to start somewhere. So for those of you intimidated by all those amazing alcohol marker coloured images, this ones for you. With four sets of Stampin' Blends and a pretty floral image I came up with this birthday card. No real blending ... VIEW POST

Finding The Perfect Phrases

June 19, 2020 2 Comments

Yesterday my 9 year old granddaughter was having a hard time coping with the loss of her much-loved Uncle Russell. It's been a little over 3 years since our son died and every now and then it still affects us all. As a family we've found that we go through waves of emotions. Fortunately when one of us is 'down', another of us is up and able to be supportive. After a video chat last night with Grandma and Grampy, Alyssa was feeling much better. Then this morning when I was searching for ... VIEW POST

Something Simple Just For You

June 14, 2020 Leave a Comment

Today's simple Sunday project could have a dual purpose. With the sentiment "A little something just for you" it could be a gift tag. But unlike many of the tags I've made recently this one is folded, so it could be a mini card too. Either way these were quick and easy to make. FIRST CUT YOUR CARD I began by cutting the card for the tags. Using my Paper Trimmer I cut some Whisper White Card 3" x 6". Then with the long side at the top I scored it at 3", folded it along the scored ... VIEW POST
