Grey peace to your heart card created using the Feathers & Frost Stamp Set from the Stampin' Up! 2019 Retiring List.

Christmas friendship card with background stamping using the Feathers & Frost Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Background Stamping

November 3, 2018 Leave a Comment

Sometimes when I look at a stamp set I look for background stamping possibilities.  While I love using Designer Series Paper or embossing folders, background stamping can add a whole new dimension to a project. This was exactly what I was thinking of when I created today's project using the Feathers & Frost Stamp Set. BACKGROUND STAMPING VERSION 1 I began with a layer of Whisper White Card and the square foliage image from the Feathers & Frost Stamp Set.  Using Old Olive ink I ... VIEW POST

The finished 'Merry Christmas' pop-up card designed and made by Alyssa (aged almost 8) using products from the Santa's Workshop suite from Stampin' Up!

Merry Christmas Pop-Up Card

October 24, 2018 2 Comments

Yesterday I had a fun couple of hours in my craft studio with a very special guest, my granddaughter Alyssa.  She'll be 8 next month and it was such fun to watch her design and create her own pop-up Christmas card. Let me say from the outset that this card was all her idea.  She's been playing with the "pop-up" process at home and wanted to show me how to do it.  All I did was show her how to put the pop-up layer inside another card to hide the mechanism.  Then, apart from some very minor ...

Christmas friendship card with sentiment from Feathers & Frost Stamp Set over patterned paper from the Joyous Noel Designer Series Paper Pack from Stampin' Up!

Joyous Noel Beautiful Pattern

October 19, 2018 2 Comments

For someone who used to say they didn't use much Designer Series Paper (DSP) in their designs, I appear to have changed.  Perhaps it's because my papercrafting skills and interests have evolved over the years.  I suspect however that I simply see a beautiful pattern on almost every sheet that Stampin' Up! sells. Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper is one such pack.  Rich colours, copper foil accents and designs for Christmas and other occasions.  I'm having a hard time NOT reaching ... VIEW POST

Simple card for friends in green and purple with gift of your friendship sentiment from the Feathers & Frost Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Friends Feathers & Frost

October 5, 2018 4 Comments

When I got up to create today's project my mind was a blank.  Often I'll go to bed thinking about what I'll make and by the time I wake an idea has popped into my head.  So having been let down by my subconscious mind, I turned to a design challenge, the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge in fact.  In no time at all I'd made a very simple card for friends. SIMPLE BORDER BACKGROUND I began with a layer of Very Vanilla Card and Soft Sea Foam ink.  Using one side of the large leafy image from the ... VIEW POST

Square wreath tag with arched congratulations sentiment created using the Feathers & Frost and Balloon Celebration Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up!

Square Wreath Tag

September 16, 2018 2 Comments

I'm sure I've already mentioned that that there's a definite autumnal feel here in Nova Scotia.  Yes there have been some very warm days, but cool, almost chilly, mornings are a regular feature now.  As if to prove my point the landscape has started to change too.  Gone are the brash colours, and the palette is now more muted, warmer tones.  It was this that inspired today's simple Sunday project, a square wreath tag. SQUARE WREATH TAG I began with a 3" x 3" piece of Thick Whisper White ... VIEW POST
