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

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

Let Me Plant A Seed Of An Idea

July 25, 2020 Leave a Comment

Today's project came about because I wanted to remind you to consider dies even if you don't like the coordinating stamp set. As it happens I did buy the stamps for the dies I used today, but it was the dies that drew me in. That's because as soon as I saw the Forever Flourishing Dies I could see how useful they would be. I have a lot of flower stamps and dies but not nearly as many leaves and branch dies. So adding these dies would expand my design options. To prove my point I decided to ... 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

Just when I thought I had a handle on the 2021/2021 Annual Catalogue another box of new goodies arrived! Most of these are from the new Stampin' Up! August to December Mini Catalogue which goes live on August 4th. While it's still 23 weeks to Christmas I know that time will fly by, but the new Mini Catalogue isn't just about Christmas. There's autumn, and Thanksgiving and Halloween all coming before then and that will keep me busy. Of course I don't keep the new products separate from the ... VIEW POST
