DSP Retiring While The Stamps And Dies Are Not

April 21, 2021 Leave a Comment

One of the things I like to remind my customers about is that almost all Designer Series Paper (DSP) retires at the end of the catalogue period in which they appear. This year, of all the DSP in the 2020/2021 Annual Catalogue only the In Good Taste 12" x 12" DSP is being carried over. For the most part I look forward to seeing new paper designs but there's one particular issue I want to highlight. This is that when a particular paper pack that's retiring coordinates with a stamp set, dies or ... VIEW POST

Hey Chick Rerun For Groundhog Day

February 2, 2021 Leave a Comment

Have you seen the movie Groundhog Day? It's the tale of a weatherman who gets to relive February 2nd (Groundhog Day) over and over again. Well today is Groundhog Day and we have a big winter storm coming through just like in the movie. So when thinking about today's project I decided to remake an old one. Not just any project mind you, one from almost 4 years ago when the stamp set Hey, Chick! was originally released. My old Stampin' Up! blog is no longer active so I've also decided to ... VIEW POST

Label Me Lovely With A Border

November 28, 2020 Leave a Comment

Punches are a quick and easy way to add shapes to a project. I have quite a collection and I love punches that can be used for sentiments. Of course when they're a fancy shape it can present challenges if you want to add a layer. So while today's birthday card is simple I have a tip for you... how to create a contrasting mat for the Label Me Lovely Punch. FIRST THE CARD Before getting to the sentiment I first prepared all the pieces for my project. I chose the Forever Greenery 12" x ... VIEW POST

"You can do this" card created using the Forever Fern Stamp Set, Forever Greenery paper and Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Another Inked Embossing Folder

August 20, 2020 Leave a Comment

I'd like to be able to tell you what inspired today's card, but I can't. It was one of those occasions where I just pulled out a piece of pattered paper and started playing. I remember noticing the very dark pine needle branch and liking the contrast with the other greens. So that lead me to the black card base. I had absolutely no intention of using the inked-embossing folder technique when I started, but that happened too. Sometimes you just have to stop thinking too hard and go with the ... VIEW POST

I Wonder Why This Surprised Me

August 14, 2020 2 Comments

No matter how long I've been papercrafting there's always something new to learn or discover. Yesterday afternoon I sat down to make a gift tag but that's not where I ended up. In fact after stamping the "... magic & wonder..." sentiment decided to make a card instead. But then I started to think that my poinsettia flower would be pressed flat in the mail. It was only after the card was "finished" that I decided to add more and more pieces of Stampin' Dimensionals. Before long I'd ... VIEW POST

Masculine thank you card with leaf print design using products from the Ornate Garden Suite from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Let’s Leaf It For The Guys

July 18, 2020 2 Comments

In yesterday's blog post I talked about how I manage my scraps. My bookmark project used tiny scraps of patterned paper to add colour and interest to the image. Today once again I'm using scraps, but this time narrow strips of card caught my eye. With the addition of a leaf print paper it took no time at all to create this masculine thank you card. LEAF COORDINATION From the outset I'd decided that on this project a leaf pattern would feature prominently. So I made a beeline for the ... VIEW POST
