Hand-Penned In New Colours

May 12, 2022 Leave a Comment

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

March 5, 2022 Leave a Comment

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

Hand-Penned For A Simple Sunday Card

August 29, 2021 Leave a Comment

One of the first stamp sets I bought from the Stampin' Up! 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue was Hand-Penned Petals. There was something about the line-drawn floral images that I knew would inspire me. Fast forward a few months and I haven't been disappointed. I continue to pull out this set and the ideas keep on coming. To prove my point I've a new Hand-Penned Petals project for you today. In this simple Sunday project I used one of outline images for both the focal point and the ... VIEW POST

Gift Wrap That’s Cheap And Recyclable

August 8, 2021 Leave a Comment

It's so frustrating when you come to wrap a gift only to find you don't have anything suitable. I have blue baby paper. In fact I've had that blue baby paper for quite some time, but it's not what I need. So several years ago I decided that the only way to make sure I have the wrapping paper I want is to make my own. I trotted down to my local U-Haul depot (a moving company here in Canada), and bought a box of wrapping paper. The box I chose had about 100 sheets of clean white newsprint ... VIEW POST

Twice Penned For A Different Look

Right now we're in the middle of a terrific thunderstorm and watching the lightning website it really is all around us. So today's blog post is going to be a quick one. Fortunately the project I have for you is super simple. It all hinges on the large floral image from the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set. SIMPLE GET WELL CARD First though I chose my colour scheme and for what I had in mind black and white was perfect. I began by using my Paper Trimmer to cut and score a piece of Basic ... VIEW POST

Hand-Penned Has Me Hooked

July 16, 2021 Leave a Comment

You know it's funny that like many papercrafters I thought I had enough floral stamp sets. Then I saw the Stampin' Up! 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue and realised another one or two couldn't hurt. Hand-Penned Petals made it to my first order and it hasn't disappointed. There's outline images if I feel like colouring, plus solid images to add artistic blocks of colour if I don't. The outlines also work well with no colour at all making for a very versatile stamp set. For today's project I ... VIEW POST
