It’s a glorious Sunday morning here in Nova Scotia. Hubby plans to mow some more of the lawn but skirt around the lupins that are spreading nicely in our flower meadow. Here, lupins are considered by many to be weeds, unlike in the UK where people buy them at the garden centres. One of the reasons for developing a flower meadow is to encourage bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects. This was the inspiration for today’s simple Sunday card created using the retiring Heart & Home ... VIEW POST
IDEAS Blog Hop: Honeybee Home
It’s the first Monday of the month and that means it’s time for another IDEAS blog hop. This month our theme is “cards that move” and fifteen of us have taken part. I decided to create my project using the Honeybee Home Stamp Set and coordinating Honeybee Blooms Dies. In the IDEAS Tutorial Bundle PDF my card has a double pop-up mechanism inside. Here on my blog there's a coordinating standard card. For both projects I opted to use Stampin’ Blends in Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil ... VIEW POST
Here’s A Sweet Honeybee Idea
Stampin’ Up! is great at coordination and often that comes in the form of suites and discounted bundles. But sometimes I see coordination in other parts of the catalogues and it sparks an idea I simply can’t get out of my head. This was the case with the Honeybee Home Stamp Set, Honeybee Blooms Dies and Hive 3D Embossing Folder. It simply had to be paired with the hexagons in the Beautiful Shapes Dies. Today was the day to bring my Idea to life and I really love the ... VIEW POST
Honeybee Home For #SimpleStamping
Ooh it's nippy out! After the snowstorm a couple of days ago it's pretty, but cold. Winter has hardly begun but I'm already counting down the days until spring. I'm looking forward to warmer weather and the return of colour and critters to our yard. For now though I’ll have to content myself by creating spring-like projects in my craft studio. For today's simple Sunday project I was drawn to the Honeybee Home Stamp Set. Designing this card was really easy with the coordinating Heart & ... VIEW POST
Daydream No Longer
At last it's January 4th and the Stampin’ Up! January to June 2022 Mini Catalogue is now live. Today's also the first day of the two-month Sale-A-Bration promotion. This is where you can earn free stuff just for placing a qualifying order. I've had my copies of the catalogue and brochure for a while, and I'm excited that finally you can order from them too. I've now updated all my sneak peek posts with links to all the products used to create each project. In the meantime here's a reminder of ... VIEW POST
Honeybee Home Easel Calendar For 2022
Happy New Year everyone, and welcome to 2022. I'm not quite sure where 2021 went but very thankful it's gone. Somehow last year seemed to fly by and now we get to look forward to better times (hopefully). For the past few years I've created an easel calendar / Post-It® Note holder and this has been a popular project. So I see no reason to change my routine. This year's theme is bees, and for that I needed the new Honeybee Home Stamp Set and coordinating Honeybee Blooms Dies. Instead of a ... VIEW POST
