Homemade blackcurrant jam in a jar decorated using the First Frost Stamp Set and Frosted Bouquet Dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Blackcurrant Jam and Jars

August 17, 2019 4 Comments

It's getting to that time of year when fruits are ripening and I need to get out my preserving pan. This week I've been busy making 19lbs of blackcurrant jam using fruit picked from our own bushes. I love it spread on dry toast so there's nothing to compete with the rich flavour of the jam. Of course I do gift some jars and for that I like to create special wraps like this one. JAR WRAP AND SEASONAL LABEL To start I cut a 3" wide strip from one of the purplish abstract designs in the ... VIEW POST

Looking For Leaves

March 15, 2019 Leave a Comment

I'm so sorry my blog post is late today. Life and insurance rate hikes got in the way! My project was all ready to go and then the phone calls began. So without any further delay here's a hardback notebook decorated with pretty flowers and leaves. FIRST FROST FLOWERS The project all started with the First Frost Stamp Set that was carried over from the Stampin' Up! 2018 Holiday Catalogue. On Whisper White Card I first stamped one large and two small flower images using Blushing ... VIEW POST

Inked Edges For Contrast

January 8, 2019 Leave a Comment

Sometimes I like to keep things simple and forgo all the mats and layers. That's good in theory, but sometimes I find that everything kind of disappears into the background. That's exactly what happened with my sentiment this morning until I decided to add inked edges for contrast. TIN TILE BACKGROUND This project all started when I thought it was time to bring out the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I dampened a layer of Very Vanilla Card with clean water ... VIEW POST

Simple Stamped Wreath

December 20, 2018 2 Comments

With less than a week to go I'm starting to wind down my Christmas projects. The Stampin' Up! 2018 Holiday Catalogue is coming to an end and I'm ready for a change. But before I do I wanted to remind you of a few Holiday Catalogue items that will be carrying over into 2019. One of them is the First Frost Stamp Set, and today I used it to make a simple stamped wreath. SIMPLE STAMPED WREATH I began with the long foliage image from the First Frost Stamp Set and an Old Olive ink pad. ... VIEW POST

First Frost WWYS196

November 26, 2018 Leave a Comment

It's not yet the end of November but we've had snow on the ground for a few days and it's not melting.  I don't know what happened to autumn, but I must have blinked and missed it.  The long range forecast says Nova Scotia is in for a long cold winter with lots of snow, and I'm already wishing for milder temperatures.  So today I thought I'd turn First Frost into springtime for my What Will You Stamp? Challenge Design Team project. A SOLID BASE When I was looking through my miscellaneous ... VIEW POST
