Three Stamp Sets For One Birthday Card

December 16, 2021 Leave a Comment

I must apologise for the late arrival of today's blog post. Today is obviously going to be one of those days where things take that much longer to get done. What's frustrating is that my birthday card project was done and photographed yesterday. But I've not been nearly as efficient this morning. In my defence I've had long video chat with my daughter and twin 9-month old grandbabies, and taken the garbage to the end of the drive in the snow. One very enjoyable distraction and the other, ...

Thanks for your support and encouragement

Thanks to everyone who followed me on Facebook over the weekend. To say that I am tired is a bit of an understatement. For the past 4 years to mark World Cardmaking Day I've set myself a personal challenge. I resolve to design and make from scratch, 24 cards (complete with decorated insides and envelopes) in 24 hours. It's not an easy task, but if it was it wouldn't be a challenge. I often make things harder than they should be, for instance by not finishing a blog post that needs to go ... VIEW POST

Another Ink Pad Background Idea

July 3, 2020 2 Comments

Last week I showed you a fun technique for creating your own backgrounds using the 'ink swipe' technique. Today I have another quick and easy idea, the 'ink pad to paper' technique. As the name suggests the background is made by pressing the ink pad directly onto the paper or card. However unlike the ink swipe technique, this time you use a tapping type of motion. The result that you get depends on how much of the ink pad you allow to touch the paper, and how firmly you press. The result ... VIEW POST

Sending Simple Sunday Thanks

June 28, 2020 Leave a Comment

After struggling to create a project yesterday I was grateful that today is Sunday. That meant that my regular readers would be expecting a 'Simple Sunday' project. I could have pulled out some Designer Series Paper (DSP) for quick and easy background. But instead I decided to look for a stamp image that wouldn't need anything else. In the end I settled on From All Of Us for a very simple "thanks" card. FROM ALL OF US Unsurprisingly this project began with that large image from the ... VIEW POST
