Today is May 25th and that means it’s only 7 months to Christmas. Just sayin’… But more importantly though it's also the day when Stampin’ Up! reveals the list of products being retired from the January to June 2022 Mini Catalogue. I’m still hoping that the New Horizons suite will be reprieved and we’ll get to play with it for a while longer. But just in case it isn’t I simply had to use that gorgeous paper, along with the definitely retiring Mischievous Mice (Host) Stamp Set, one last ... VIEW POST
Black On White And Reversed
Since starting my paper crafting journey almost 10 years ago I’ve developed a new appreciation for colour. I’ve discovered colour combinations I’d never have put together previously, and fallen back on old favourites too. What’s more, I've learned that something doesn’t have to contain every colour of the rainbow all at once. So for today’s project I went right back to basics with a simple black and white scheme. After having made one I wondered what it would have been like if I’d reversed the ... 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
Happiness Is Not Always Blue
I have to admit that since I got my hands on the 2022-2024 In Colors I’ve been a bit obsessed with the new blue, Starry Sky. But who can blame me, it’s simply gorgeous. However I decided today it was time to do something completely different. So instead of bold blues I went with soft colours for a more romantic feel. The pretty florals of the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set was perfect for what I had in mind. In no time at all I had exactly what I had planned. HAPPINESS ABOUNDS I began this ... VIEW POST
Sneak Peek Recap And More!
At last it’s here! After lots of anticipation the Stampin’ Up! 2022/2023 Annual Catalogue is now live for customers. It’s been fun playing with the products I was able to get during the Demonstrator pre-order period. However starting today I now have the whole catalogue to choose from, and it’s hard to decide what to get first. I’ll probably order a couple of stamp sets, some stand-alone dies and maybe some more paper. But while I wrestle with that dilemma, here’s a quick recap of my recent ... VIEW POST
Simply Stunning Sun Prints
A couple of days ago I showed you a sneak peek of the new Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (DSP). That DSP was full of brightly coloured flowers and completely different from today’s botanical project. When I first saw the Sun Prints 12” x 12” DSP I was immediately drawn to the striking white foliage on a dark blue background. While some sheets have an ‘all-over’ pattern, it was a full-sheet design that caught my eye and it deserved a special place as the cover of my new journal. SUN ... VIEW POST
