"Thanks for lending an ear ...and keeping a straight face" - card created using the Lighthearted Lines Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Lighthearted Lines With Thanks

June 29, 2021 Leave a Comment

Have you ever done something completely daft? You know the kind of thing that you hoped no one saw at the time. Then somehow you can't resist telling a special friend or family member about it. Usually the retelling is accompanied by "don't laugh but..." Of course laughter often eventually follows. This was what came to mind with this thank you card using the Lighthearted Lines Stamp Set. "Thanks for lending and ear ... and keeping a straight face." MYSTERY STAMPING This card ... VIEW POST

Two Sides To Hand-Penned Paper

June 13, 2021 Leave a Comment

I love purple and I love daisies, so when I saw the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper (DSP) I knew I had to get it. The only problem I have is deciding which side of the paper to use. All the designs are simply gorgeous, so it's a good job there's two of each 12" x 12" double-sided sheets in the pack. Even so, I have a feeling I'll need to order another pack before too long. For today's simple Sunday project I set myself a challenge. How to showcase both sides of the Hand-Penned paper on ... VIEW POST

The Hand-Penned Suite Has It All

June 8, 2021 Leave a Comment

Have you seen the 2021-2023 In Colors from Stampin' Up!? This is a collection of five new colours added to the Stampin' Up! range for a limited time (2 years). I have to say that this year's new colours have really inspired me, almost to the point of obsession. Right now my absolute favourite of the five has to be Pale Papaya. It's a soft apricot that just seems to go well with everything. Today my hit of Pale Papaya comes in the form of a pretty polka dot pattern from the Hand-Penned ... VIEW POST

With Playful Alphabet Anything Seems Possible

June 7, 2021 Leave a Comment

Not having access to all the tools and materials in my craft studio recently has given me a new appreciation for how fortunate I am as a crafter. It's also forced me to think outside the box to get even more from the tools I do have at my disposal. For today's project it was the Playful Alphabet Dies that came to the rescue once again. I discovered that one half of the equals sign makes a lovely ribbon slot for my bookmark. Yay! HAND-PENNED SUITE My project began with a pretty floral ... VIEW POST

Thankfully Everything Is Figure-outable

June 3, 2021 Leave a Comment

Today has been one of those days when the simplest of projects just kept going wrong. Decorating a boring notebook is something I've done many times and it's not hard really. However, despite the challenges I faced, I'm pretty happy with the result. By the time I got to the end "Everything is figure-outable" seemed to sum it up perfectly. SIMPLEST COVER This notebook happens to be one I've been using for some time. It's 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" with a black binding and was looking rather ... VIEW POST

"Hello little one" baby card created using the Turtle Friends Stamp Set and Hello Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Hello, Bonjour, G’Day And More

May 19, 2021 Leave a Comment

Hello again, and happy Wednesday. A few days ago I showed you a multi-language thank you card using one of the folders in the Thanks & Hello Embossing Folders pack. Today it's the turn of the multi-language "hello" folder for a sweet baby card. This time though, just to show you how amazing it is, there's no special treatment for the embossing folder. I also couldn't resist pulling out the Turtle Friends Stamp Set again. Turtles may be my new favourite creature. HELLO When I ... VIEW POST
