While I’ve made a number of different boxes and have easy tutorials on my YouTube channel, I’m not against buying pre-made ones too. In fact when I was in Dollarama recently I found a really nice box. It’s predominantly white, and quite sturdy, What’s more at 4-3/8” x 6-1/4” x 2-1/4” it’s not a bad size either. But what attracted me was the narrow gold foil border on the lid, and using the Shining Brightly Specialty Paper I had an idea to turn that box into something rather special. SHINING ... VIEW POST
Give It A Whirl
Over the past month or so I’ve been trying out some new ideas with my colour schemes. More specifically, experimenting with using fewer colours on my projects. It was a concept I saw on Instagram, and the notion of less colour being more visually attractive really intrigued me. Overall I’ve been quite pleased with the finished projects that have an elegant simplicity I hadn’t expected. Today’s project features the Give It A Whirl Dies and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder using just Very Vanilla, ... VIEW POST
Florist Congratulations
A few days ago I had great fun jazzing up some Post-It® Notes using some of the Paper Florist Dies. This amazing set doesn’t coordinate with any stamp sets, so it could very easily be overlooked in the Stampin’ Up! 2023/2024 Annual Catalogue. There’s 18 dies in the set and I’m having a lot of fun discovering all the flower shapes I can create with them. Today’s elegant congratulations card project is very different as I set out to make a mainly white card with just a touch of silver. FLAT ... VIEW POST
Missing Dies And More
Whenever there’s a new catalogue I go through my old one and write against each item whether it’s retiring or carrying over (R or c/o). Then I double check any products that have neither marking. So that’s how I discovered 12 items that are not in the new catalogue or on the Last Chance List. My feeling is that they’ll join others in the new ‘Online Exclusives’ section of the website, but we’ll only know for sure on May 2nd. The Mini Pocket Envelope Dies is one of those products. DIES FOR ... VIEW POST
Eden’s Garden Exit
The list of ‘Last Chance’ products that are now sold out continues to grow. Despite this there are still some amazing deals to be had. Today’s project uses four more retiring (but still available) items including cardstock and ink in rich Merry Merlot. But my main focus was the retiring Eden’s Garden Stamp Set and coordinating Eden Dies. These are both now on sale at 60% off, but of course only while stocks last. With the addition of gold accents this gender-neutral gift tag will most ... VIEW POST
Tailor Made
One of the amazing things about papercrafting is the endless possibilities. Even though I may have used a product multiple times simple changes can make it seem fresh and new again. The masculine He’s The Man suite was new in the 2022/2023 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue but it seems like we’ve had it longer. The year before we were treated to the Tailor Made Tags Dies. I love these dies and have used them to tailor make other shaped pieces like the sentiment label on this Father’s Day gift ... VIEW POST
