Every day it’s getting harder to find retiring products I have, that haven’t yet sold out. Today though I managed to cram a whopping seven of them onto one little project. The Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set and coordinating Birthday Chick Dies have been such fun to play with. Of course it goes without saying I’m sad to lose the four sets of 2020/2022 In Color Stampin’ Blends (although I only used three of them today). I finished off with a retiring punch and ribbon. All will definitely be ... VIEW POST
Prized Peony Project
Hi there. Welcome to my blog and another in my simple Sunday series. This where I show you a quick and easy papercraft project using current Stampin’ Up! products. With the Last Chance sale in full swing I still have a few projects planned that include tools and materials that are retiring but still available. Today is extra special as the products I chose are all discounted too. This includes the Prized Peony Stamp Set with its gorgeous images and sentiments, plus pretty ribbon in my favourite ...

Ta Ta Tag Topper Punches
Although I’ve recovered from the cold symptoms I experienced with my recent COVID infection, I still have some lingering side-effects. Most annoying for me is a foggy brain. It’s improving, however not quickly enough for me. So crafting is my release and I’m enjoying revisiting products and techniques I haven’t used in a while. Today’s project was an experiment using an alcohol ink technique on clear window sheet. I liked the results so much I turned it into a bookmark using the retiring Fancy ... VIEW POST
Paper Scraps And Simple Sentiments
There’s just three more days to go until we find out which products are being retired by Stampin’ Up! Every year they retire most, if not all, their patterned paper to make way for new designs. So my plan today is to review all the Designer Series Paper (DSP) I still have left. My regular readers will know that I hate to throw away even the smallest pieces and I’m definitely not alone. With that in mind this week’s simple Sunday project was designed around a 1” x 4-1/4” scrap. SIMPLY ... VIEW POST
Elegantly Said On Valentine’s Day
Today is Valentine’s Day and Old Man Winter’s gift is another snow storm. Never mind, I wasn't really planning on going out. But instead I have a great excuse for continuing to migrate the contents of my old laptop to my new computer. Of course as I’m in the craft studio anyway I can take a break (or maybe several) to create something. Today I started with a very striking bookmark using the Elegantly Said and Turtle Friends Stamp Sets. It’s quite a simple layout but ... VIEW POST
Taking A Moment To Read And Relax
Thank heavens it's finally Friday! This week has seemed to go on forever, but somehow there's still a lot on my to do list. My plan today is to warm up with a few easy jobs before attacking one of the larger ones. Then as a reward I may take 30 minutes to recharge with a good book. I'm a 'real' book kind of person, and of course that means I need a proper bookmark. Here's one I made a few days ago using the In The Moment Stamp Set. IN THE MOMENT As soon as I saw it I knew I'd have ... VIEW POST
