Simple Hope & Prayer

October 16, 2023 Leave a Comment

It’s Monday again, and raining. Two of my least favourite things. The weekend flew by as I was at a craft fair in Debert, Nova Scotia. It’s nice to be able to talk to people about my papercraft passion and also get their feedback on the cards and other things I had for sale. Sadly the most requested items were ‘sympathy’ and ‘thinking of you’ cards. So for today’s blog post here’s a card created using the Hope & Prayer Stamp Set during my recent World Card Making Day marathon. HELLO, ... VIEW POST

Playing While It Rains

September 16, 2023 Leave a Comment

Hurricane Lee has begun to impact Nova Scotia, although it’s now been downgraded to a ‘post-tropical storm’. We’re still going to get strong winds, heavy rain and tidal surge, but over a much wider area. By 8.20 am over 90,000 properties were without power, and the situation will get worse before it gets better. So I need to get my post typed quickly, just in case. When I sat down to design this notecard project I couldn’t help but reach for the Playing In The Rain Stamp Set and Dies. CUTE ... VIEW POST

Irresistible Colour Pairing

August 15, 2023 Leave a Comment

Over the past week or so I’ve brought you projects using a limited range of colours. Today’s card project is another of these. This time I’ve taken my inspiration from the Hello, Irresistible 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. The deep greeny-blue of Pretty Peacock pairs beautifully with the very pale green that is Soft Sea Foam. While it’s a simple layout, I decided to try something new with the arrangement of the layers. For my sentiment I pulled out another Online Exclusive product, ... VIEW POST

Irresistible Idea

July 8, 2023 Leave a Comment

Have you ever just looked at a piece of patterned paper and had an idea pop into your head? That’s what happened yesterday as I was looking through the Hello, Irresistible 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. I love the combination of colours used in this pack, especially since Pretty Peacock is one of them. In fact I was torn between two designs on the same sheet. On one side was an elegant plaid pattern, while on the other, a moody watercolour wash. Moody won in the end. IRRESISTIBLE ... VIEW POST

Irresistible Vellum

June 10, 2023 Leave a Comment

I love using vellum. At it’s most basic, vellum diffuses any colour or pattern behind it. However one of my favourite techniques is to run it through my Cut & Emboss Machine inside an embossing folder. This not only adds texture, but also stresses the vellum so the design appears white. By running it backwards and then forwards through the machine you can even create a shadow effect. That’s how I created the layer behind the Hello, Irresistible 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (DSP) used on ... VIEW POST

By My Side Once More

May 13, 2023 Leave a Comment

It’s the weekend. Yay! Despite having lots to do I’m looking forward to being productive at home. I’ve made my list and it’s here at the side of my computer to remind me what I want to achieve. As well as some decluttering and reorganising in my craft studio, I’ve allowed myself time to ‘play’ as I want to revisit some older, but still available, stamp sets and dies before my new catalogue order arrives next week. So today’s "thinking of you card" features the By My Side Stamp Set. BLENDS ... VIEW POST
