Elegant bookmark with "All days are beautiful that begin with you" sentiment from the Floral Essence Stamp Set and Perennial Essence DSP paper from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

The Essence of Creativity?

April 24, 2020 Leave a Comment

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Today's project is not what I set out to make. I started with an idea for a card, using the retiring Beautiful You Stamp Set. I chose the image of the lady with an umbrella. Then I chose the sentiment "Wishing you brighter days to come". Then I went looking for some paper to link with the "bright" part of the sentiment. Having looked through a number of packs I once again veered towards the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper (DSP). The very ... VIEW POST

Spring Wreath Decor (Papercraft Style)

March 11, 2020 2 Comments

A few weeks back I was playing with punches and created some 3D daffodils. Then I used one of them on card for St. David's Day. Today I have another daffodil / narcissus project but on a much bigger scale, a spring wreath. ROPE WREATH I found this rope circle in my local Dollarama. It measures 11" across and has what feels like a solid metal core. It certainly is very sturdy and I decided it would make an ideal base for my spring wreath. I began by cutting out the individual ... VIEW POST

Birthday gift tag created using the Floral Essence and Painted Glass Stamp Sets on a background of Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP, all from Stampin' Up!

Mosaic DSP Inspires a Tag

July 18, 2019 4 Comments

Today's project had a very vague beginning, I wanted to make a large gift tag. So with just that in my mind I started to look through my packs of Designer Series Paper (DSP) for a background. I often find that just looking at a DSP design will spark an idea, even if that paper never actually gets used. Today though, in the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP I found a scrap that quite literally became the base for everything else I did this morning. MOSAIC TAG BASE The scrap of Mosaic Mood ... VIEW POST

Simple card with wild rose created using the Floral Essence Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #simplestamping

Waiting for the wild roses

June 9, 2019 Leave a Comment

Last week Stampin' Up! set Demonstrators another #simplestamping challenge. We could make a project for any occasion, but it had to feature a new stamp set and use only stamps, ink and paper. That sounded like the perfect Simple Sunday project to me. So I pulled out the Floral Essence Stamp Set and the wild rose images. WILD ROSES I began with the large solid rose image inking it up with Lovely Lipstick ink. The colour was a little too dark so I first stamped-off onto scrap paper ... VIEW POST

Perennial Essence Suite

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the artists at Stampin' Up! are simply amazing. Today I want to give you a sneak peek of the Perennial Essence Suite, and particularly the Designer Series Paper (DSP). But first, here's my very simple Sunday project. SIMPLE START This card really couldn't be simpler. I started with a large card base from the Memories & More Cards & Envelopes. This card is cut and pre-scored and just needs to be folded. I sharpened the crease with a ... VIEW POST
