If you're a regular follower of my blog you may remember a Christmas favour I created using the Pretty Pillow Box Dies. I was very late to the party with these dies and have been kicking myself for not getting them sooner. My Christmas pillowbox featured a simple poinsettia embellishment using just dies from the set. Today however I decided to create a treat / favour box for Valentine's day or a wedding. For the heart embellishments I needed to grab some dies from a second set, Give It A ... VIEW POST
Bragworthy Meets Tasteful Textile Embossing
With the new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue launch and the start of the Sale-A-Bration promotion, yesterday was a very busy day. As promised I’ve updated my blog posts with links to all the products used to make each sneak peek project. I've also added links to yesterday's sneak peek review. So when I sat down yesterday evening to make a card it needed to be quick. In my head I thought I'd simply use a large sentiment and patterned paper. But when I picked up the Bragworthy sentiment suddenly my ... VIEW POST
More From One Happy Family
Once again I've been making non-Christmas projects using some products that are most definitely Christmas themed. It was only after I'd finished that I realised that both the One Happy Family Stamp Set and Christmas Trimmings Dies are from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue and will be around for a while yet. In fact only the the Timber 3D Embossing Folder is from the July to December 2021 Mini Catalogue, and it's not retiring. This is fortunate since it's the first time I've used the Timber 3D ...

Happy Christmas Or Merry Christmas?
When I was growing up we always said "Merry Christmas and a happy New Year". So ever since, even without the new year bit, I've stuck with "Merry Christmas". It never occurred to me that this might seem odd to some, but it was a question raised by one of my customers recently. It came about when she ordered the Happy Holly-Days Stamp Set and said how grateful she was that it included her preferred "Happy Christmas" greeting. So to acknowledge this difference I've created today's project with ... VIEW POST
Rounding Up The Sheep Again
It's almost the end of September and there's only two more days until the Sale-A-Bration promotion finishes. My regular readers will know I have a soft spot for cute animal stamps and so this will probably be one I'll keep. So I decided to give the free Counting Sheep Stamp Set one last outing and paired it with the coordinating free Sheep Dies. Today's project uses some products I haven't used in a while, the new Kraft Paper and a Stampin' Chalk Marker. All-in-all I'm quite happy with the ... VIEW POST
Poinsettia Flower? Yes And No.
While I'm waiting for my next order to arrive I'm trying to be good and continue reorganising my craft studio. Yesterday I went through my dies and made sure only the current ones were in my immediate work area. All the retired dies and stamp sets are kept elsewhere in case I want them for personal projects. Anyway, while tidying I came across the Poinsettia Dies and I wasn't totally sure if they retired or not. I was delighted to find that they're still in the 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue ... VIEW POST
