Hand-Penned And Other Scraps Get Used

May 18, 2021 Leave a Comment

One of the things that really makes me happy is knowing that I don't waste my crafting products. I don't mean that I never mess up a project, because I do. Sometimes I can 'save' it with a little trimming, or cover up an inky mark with embellishments. Very occasionally I bin it and start again, although I never beat myself up about that. But what I'm talking about is making sure that I get the most out consumables like paper and card. For me it's simple things like keeping small pieces in ... VIEW POST

This Week’s Simple Sunday Tip

April 25, 2021 Leave a Comment

Whether you're leaving a tip for a server, showing appreciation to the healthcare worker giving you your vaccine, or just want to say thank you, today's simple Sunday project may be just what you need. This card came about as I was looking for ways to use up some smaller pieces of patterned paper. I'd made a couple of projects using the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper (DSP) and was concerned about the growing pile of leftovers. So I pulled out a small card and envelope from the ...

Hydrangea Hill Makes A Quick And Easy Card

April 20, 2021 Leave a Comment

I'm going to be honest and say that when I first saw the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper (DSP) it didn't make it to my order wish list. I was definitely attracted by the colour palette that includes Seaside Spray and Highland Heather. I also liked the 'background' patterns too. But what put me off was the large flower images. So how odd then that having bought the paper, it's the large hydrangea patterns that I've used the most. Rather than being difficult to work with I've actually ... VIEW POST

Stamping Over Designer Series Paper

April 16, 2021 Leave a Comment

For the past seven years I've been a volunteer writer for the Stampin' Up! Canadian Demonstrator e-magazine called Inspiration Canada. This monthly magazine is sent to every Canadian Demonstrator and contains a mixture of inspiration and information. This month we celebrate our 100th edition and I worked out I've contributed over 80 articles since I joined the team. Recently I've been focusing on #simplestamping with ideas that encourage new stampers and cardmakers to have a go. Using just ... VIEW POST

"You make me smile" card created using the Hydrangea Haven Stamp Set and Ornate Frames Dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Ornate Frames For A Variety For Sentiments

April 12, 2021 Leave a Comment

One of the surprises of the Stampin' Up! retiring list is that the Ornate Frames Dies were NOT included. These dies have been around for a little while and were originally designed to coordinate with the Spooktacular Bash Stamp Set in the 2019 Holiday Catalogue. Then after that set retired it coordinated with the Perfectly Framed Stamp Set which sadly is also no longer available. Since then, although there is currently no coordinating stamp set, the Ornate Frames Dies has continued to be ... VIEW POST

Strawberry Trellis For Mothering Sunday

March 14, 2021 Leave a Comment

It's Mothering Sunday in the UK and for the first time in over 10 years I'm spending it with my daughter and granddaughters. The sun is shining and it promises to be a lovely day. For today's simple Sunday project I have a quick and easy bookmark idea using the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set. It would be the perfect with a personal handwritten message on the back and slipped into a gifted book. TRELLIS BACKGROUND This project popped into my head as soon as I saw the trellis pattern in the ... VIEW POST
