When I'm designing projects for my blog I do try to mix things up a little. That's why you don't see a card project every day. I also try to vary the types of tools and products I use. Today's simple Sunday project was designed to avoid fussy cutting as I know not everyone enjoys that job. So instead I turned to a punch to bring you a new leaf option for the Daisy Lane Stamp Set. PHOTO ALBUM COVER I began with a pocket photo album from the Dollarstore and removed the generic covers. ... VIEW POST
Amazing word play
A little while ago I made a children's birthday card using the Wiggle Worm Stamp Set and coordinating Wiggly Bugs Dies. It's a really fun stamp set with lots of cute bugs and flies, and at first glance definitely designed for children, While I was working though, I wondered if I could make a more grown up project without bringing in any other sets.

Once I'd stamped the sentiment I mounted the layer on some Mossy Meadow Card using Multipurpose Liquid Glue ... VIEW POST
Take A Stroll Down Garden Lane
When I first started papercrafting I didn't use a whole lot of patterned paper. However over the past several years I've begin to use it more and more. Of course Stampin' Up!'s stunning Designer Series Paper (DSP) has been a big factor in that. The quality of the paper (almost lightweight card) and the amazing patterns and images created by the Stampin' Up! designers make it a great option. The other thing I love is that the colours used in the designs are listed on the packaging and in the ... VIEW POST
