"You jump start my heart" card created using the Geared Up Garage Stamp Set and Garage Gears Dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

One For All The Garage Workers

November 10, 2020 Leave a Comment

I often hear papercrafters say that they find making masculine cards a challenge. Flowery stamp sets work well for ladies and there's no shortage of them, but for the guys the choices tend to be a bit more limited. That's why I was so excited to see the Geared Up Garage Stamp Set and Garage Gears Dies. These were released last spring and were carried over into the Annual Catalogue, but sadly the coordinating paper wasn't. That didn't stop me making this masculine card as part of my World ...

When The Technique Gears Start Turning

June 8, 2020 Leave a Comment

Today's blog project is less of a project and more of a technique idea. You see I was playing around with the Geared Up Garage Stamp Set and coordinating Garage Gears Dies. In my head I had a vague idea of creating a box and for some reason started with the embellishment. Before I knew where I was I'd created a large gift tag. GEARS TECHNIQUE IDEA #1 A few years ago Stampin' Up! had a colour called Baked Brown Sugar. It was a warm mid-brown and I used it a lot. I was reminded of ... VIEW POST

Retirement Brings A New Adventure

May 15, 2020 Leave a Comment

Today's project has it all. A retiring stamp set, a video showing a couple of techniques, and a new take on a continuing stamp set. At the end there's also a sneak peek from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue that goes live on June 3rd. It all started because I wanted to make one last card using the retiring On To Adventure Stamp Set... OFF CAMERA PREPARATIONS In order to keep my video fairly short I decided to do a few things off camera first. Using my Paper Trimmer I cut some Thick ... VIEW POST

Mosaic Mood And Geared Up Garage

May 20, 2019 Leave a Comment

Today's What Will You Stamp? Challenge is #WWYS220 - Geared Up Garage. This stamp set is in the 2019 Occasions Catalogue and I was so happy when I it had been carried over into the new catalogue. Also carried over was the coordinating Garage Gears Dies and Classic Garage Metal Elements (silver wrenches / spanners and keys). Sadly though, the Designer Series Paper and black and silver ribbon didn't make the cut. So when I was thinking about my WWYS Design Team project for this week I ... VIEW POST

Geared Up To Go

April 28, 2019 Leave a Comment

Today I will have the pleasure of entertaining some Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from New Brunswick. We'll be spending four fun-filled hours playing with products from the new Catalogue and talking about all the good things to come. So while I'm doing that let me remind you of a few things current items that are retiring. Masculine projects are often challenging, so today's Simple Sunday project includes a couple of retiring items that you might want to get before they're gone for ... VIEW POST

You’re A Classic

February 20, 2019 2 Comments

My son-in-law is a vehicle mechanic and my father was an engineer, so it's no wonder I was drawn to the Classic Garage Suite in the Stampin' Up! 2019 Occasions Catalogue. I've already made some masculine cards and gift tags using products from the suite, but today I decided do something a little different. I thought it would be fun to decorate a picture frame ready for a photo I'm having printed. YOU'RE A CLASSIC I began with some Thick Very Vanilla Card and a Tranquil Tide ink ... VIEW POST
