Blue & vanilla "for you" gift tag created using the Four Season Floral Stamp Set and Flowers For Every Season paper from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Four Season Floral Reminder

February 5, 2021 Leave a Comment

Every year as the end of the current Stampin' Up! annual catalogue draws near I make an effort to use up my scraps. This year is unusual as Stampin' Up! is changing it's annual catalogue period, and the current one expires in early May not early June. As a result my end of catalogue planning is starting a month earlier too. So today I'm revisiting the Four Season Stamp Set which is current, but not shown in any of the major Stampin' Up! catalogues. I'm also using up a scrap of Flowers For ... VIEW POST

Last Of The Summer Flowers

October 27, 2020 Leave a Comment

Over the past few days the weather has definitely turned colder and the few remaining summer flowers in the garden have gone. I'm not quite ready to say goodbye so I have one large pot plant that we bring into the garage overnight. In the local fields everything has either been harvested or will be soon. Then it's the inevitable wait for the first snow and the change to a less colourful landscape. So with more muted colours in mind I created this simple get well card. FLOWERS FOR ... VIEW POST

Notebook collection grows again

October 8, 2020 Leave a Comment

My regular readers will know that I love a pretty notebook. Well I love any notebook really and have a lot of fun decorating them. Yesterday as I was playing in my studio with nothing specific in mind a notebook caught my eye. In fact it was a stack of notebooks, because why buy one when you can buy six, right? All I needed was some paper, some odd bits of card and a sentiment... PAPER AND CARD First came the poinsettia covered paper from the Flowers For Every Season 6" x 6" Designer ... VIEW POST

Tag Designs Don’t Need To Be Complicated

September 26, 2020 Leave a Comment

With all the card making I do I inevitably end up with small scraps of patterned paper and card. For the most part I keep these pieces as I hate to waste anything. So when I find my scrap collection getting out of control I often turn them into a tag or two, or three. TAG BASE For today's tag project I began with a 2" x 3-3/4" piece of Misty Moonlight Card. Using the Fancy Tag Topper Punch I shaped one end and set it aside. Then I punched the top of a 1-3/4" x 3-3/4" piece of ... VIEW POST

Gift or card, or perhaps it’s both

September 17, 2020 Leave a Comment

Sometimes the simplest of ideas can turn into the prettiest projects. While playing with the Flowers For Every Season 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP) I decided to make a Christmas Card. Of course I couldn't help but pull out the gorgeous poinsettia design for this. However, instead of starting with the card front I assembled the inside and envelope first. Then while looking at what was left of the DSP, an idea popped into my head. I'd turn it into gift wrap, and from there the card ... VIEW POST

Z-Fold cards really aren’t that difficult

September 15, 2020 Leave a Comment

Just recently it occurred to me that while I design three or four cards every week all year long, I rarely show you 'fancy folds'. My card bases tend to be the basic piece of card folded in the middle and I've resolved to try and be a little more imaginative. So today I've added an extra scored line to create a simple Z-fold card. Z-FOLD CARD BASE Creating a z-fold card base is really simple and I usually prepare mine so it's the same size as a normal A2 card. Today I started by ... VIEW POST
