It’s been forever (well 10 days) since I last posted a project for you, thanks to Hurricane Fiona. She barrelled through overnight on Friday September 23rd and having lost power it was October 2nd before we were finally reconnected. We learned some lessons that we’ll put in place for next time, but we are lucky. Over 21,000 properties in Nova Scotia continue to wait for their power to return. So today I made a simple card using the Go To Greetings Stamp Set just to say I’m thinking of ... VIEW POST
Leaf Fall Embossing
I must be honest and say that the design of this simple project was only half planned. You see I'd decided to create a "Thinking of you" card and reached for the appropriately named Go To Greetings Stamp Set. However when I opened up the stamp case I found some Basic White Card that had already been stamped with the largest of the Thinking of You sentiments in Tuxedo Black ink. It was obviously meant to be, so with the new Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder I set to work LEAF FALL First I ... VIEW POST
Texture Chic Is Back
Despite the well reported “global shipping crisis” I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how Stampin’ Up! has managed to maintain supplies of their products. That’s not say some things don’t go out of stock occasionally, but it really is only a very small percentage of items. The Texture Chic 12” x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) was briefly on that list. Thankfully it’s back and I can now show you this simple masculine / gender-neutral “Thinking of You” card. I think the design would work ... VIEW POST
Highlighting The Fern
Sometimes I just need to start the day a little later. I’ve noticed as I get older that I can only push myself so far, then I need to reset by sleeping a little longer and taking the day at a much slower pace. That’s not always easy with several calls/meetings planned. You’ve probably guessed that today is one of those days. Still, I managed to create today’s card project between scheduled appointments. It’s a masculine / gender neutral “thinking of you” card with a bold fern embossed background ... VIEW POST
Wonderful Customers
Did you know that you don’t have to live close to me to select me as your Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator? So long as you live in Canada I can be that person. While I love meeting my wonderful customers that’s not always possible. So it does make me a little sad when a customer places an order but chooses “no contact”. This means I can’t even send them a “thank you”. It happened again last week, and I made this card hoping they’ll see it here. Thank you so much! GO TO GREETINGS As this project ... VIEW POST
First Idea For Lights Aglow
I’m sure I’m not alone in finding that when I buy a pack of patterned paper there’s designs I can’t see myself using. It’s not that they’re awful, but rather just not my style, or don’t inspire me. Well I have to say I’ve finally found a pack where I love every single one of the patterns. So much so that I’m already thinking I need to order more. It’s called Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the 24 different patterns are all stunning, even when chopped up! LIGHTS AGLOW ... VIEW POST
