So this is going to be a super quick blog post. We have a severe winter storm that's just started to ramp up and I'm not sure how long the internet and power will stay on. With that in mind I decided that decorating a gift box would be a speedy option. The sentiment is quite generic, but makes this a box that can be used for any occasion. Making up the box is really simple as it comes ready assembled as a base with separate lid. All I had to do was fold in the side flaps on each piece, ... VIEW POST
Beautiful Shapes For A Modern Wreath
With Christmas nearly a month ago you'd think that wreath designs were a thing of the past (at least for a while). Well to be honest so did I. For today's card project I intended to create something spring-like with flowers and leaves, and I did. However when I pulled out the Beautiful Shapes Dies things took on a life of their own. By the time I was finished my card still had the planned flowers and leaves, but the die-cut hexagon shapes had morphed them into a modern-style ... VIEW POST
Pillowbox For Valentine’s & Weddings
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
