Today’s project is another one using the Phrases & Frames Stamp Set and coordinating dies. These items were originally released in the May to September Catalogue but are now part of the Online Exclusives range. The Phrases & Frames Dies were one of the first of the new ‘Impressions’ Dies, designed to give a deeply textured result. To get the best outcome you will need the new Impressions Plate. However the dies still work without it. Using the stamp set and dies together I created this ... VIEW POST

IDEAS Blog Hop: Traditional Labels Again
With lots of new goodies coming from Stampin’ Up! I’ve been doing a bit of sorting out in my craft room. While it can be a bit of a chore I’ve found it does have an upside, like when I rediscover something I really loved but haven’t used in a while. That’s how chose the Traditional Labels Stamp Set for this month’s IDEAS blog hop and PDF Tutorial Bundle. This time I paired it with another very much loved item, the Fern & Flora Dies, for our July theme, “Holidays”. I began by choosing a ... VIEW POST
Moonlit Flora Showcase
While I’m waiting for my next Stampin’ Up! order to arrive I’m still playing with the Moonlit Flora 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP). One of the sheets is very memorable with a single Luna Moth among the other moths on the design. This sheet was proving very hard to chop up, but then I had an idea. What if used it to decorate a larger project, and that way I could keep most of the design intact? That’s when I went looking for this 6’ X 9” notebook. I began by cutting the 12" x 12" ... VIEW POST
Prayers & Promises Again
It’s now just under three weeks until the launch of the Stampin’ Up! May to August 2026 Catalogue. Many retiring products are already out of stock, but it’s still worth taking a look at the Last Chance section. Especially since until the end of Friday you’ll also earn double Stampin’ Rewards if your order is over $25CAD (after any discounts, coupons etc, and before shipping and taxes are added). However for my card project today I used two stamp sets that are not retiring; Prayers & Promises ... VIEW POST
Just Me & You Leaving
April is almost here and that means we’re approaching the end of the Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue and the January to April 2026 Mini. While Demonstrators have been treated to a sneak peek of the new catalogue that starts on May 5th we don’t yet know everything that will be retiring. However a few months ago we were given a heads-up that all red-rubber stamps will go as Stampin’ Up! transitions to all photopolymer stamps. So that means we’ll be saying goodbye to the Just Me & You ... VIEW POST
Hello Again
I find that taking time off from crafting can sometimes create a bit of a creative block. If this happens I just grab a stamp set or pack of patterned paper and simply start creating with no particular finished project in mind. That’s how I ended up flipping through the Beautiful Gallery 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack and came across a tranquil rural scene in lovely muted colours. The design was easily split into three 2” x 6” strips and I chose one to make this “hello” ... VIEW POST
