Because the Stampin’ Up! Last Chance List is extensive it takes me a while to get my head around it. After printing the list I go through my current catalogue page by page marking the items that are retiring. This helps me spot things I still want before they’re sold out. After that I compare the old and new catalogues to confirm what’s carrying over. That’s how I noticed the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder wasn’t in either category! In fact it’s still available, but now as an Online ... VIEW POST
Penned and Pressed
Today’s project marks a huge milestone for me and one I never imagined I reach. This congratulations card is my card design number 2,500. In fact I’ve probably made quite a few more than that as I didn’t start numbering them right away. I have to say that my skills have most definitely improved over the 8 years or so that I’ve been papercrafting. I’m still not sure I have a ‘style’, but this card, using the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set and coordinating Penned Flowers Dies, is definitely a ... VIEW POST
Hand Penned Flowers Again
After creating yesterday’s decorated box project I did something that I rarely do, I walked away from my workspace without put everything away. It’s not a difficult or time-consuming task as everything has a place, but I was running late for an appointment and it was a minute I just didn’t have. Of course that meant when I sat down to create today’s card project I had to clear the desk first. However before putting away the pretty Hand Penned Petals Stamp Set I couldn’t resist getting it inky ... VIEW POST
Peek-a-boo Box
While I’ll admit to sometimes making my daily blog project at the very last minute, I do try to work at least a few days ahead. This takes the stress off, but sometimes it adds to it. That’s because I don’t like showing you something that you can’t actually buy right away if you want. So today’s project has been on my mind for a while but hampered by the ribbon being temporarily out of stock. Thankfully it’s back and I can finally show you this pretty decorated gift box. BOX WITH A ... VIEW POST
Hand-Penned In New Colours
One of the fun things about having a new set of In Colors added to the Stampin’ Up! range every year is it encourages me to revisit older (but still available) products. Today I decided it was time to break out the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set again. My original plan was simply to stamp one of the larger images and use the two-step stamping technique. However I simply couldn’t resist adding in a little heat embossing, before turning to the coordinating Penned Petals Dies. I’m very pleased with ... VIEW POST
Doing The Hand-Penned Two-Step
I don’t get ill very often, but when I do it really seems to hit me hard. Right now I’m fighting off a nasty cold and sore throat and it’s given me a really fuzzy brain. Concentrating on anything for more than a few minutes at a time is a real challenge. Even my crafting is taking much longer than normal. Today I’ve made a thank you card using the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set and coordinating Penned Flowers Dies, with another example of an edge die you may have ... VIEW POST
