Simple card with "hope" sentiment created using the His Love Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #simplestamping #papercraftwithme

What Do You Hope Will Be Carried Over?

November 6, 2020 Leave a Comment

Over the next couple of days Stampin' Up! will be revealing new products from the January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue to Demonstrators. It's always an exciting time especially since we'll be able to order them starting in December. Between the reveal and then we just have to make our lists and endlessly check and adjust them. What we probably won't find out until next week though is the list of products that are retiring from the August to December 2020 Mini Catalogue. There are a number of ... VIEW POST

Tasteful Textile For A Unique Pine Cone

October 21, 2020 2 Comments

My regular readers will know that I love getting more from my crafting supplies. Today's project features an experiment using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder to give my pine cone a very unique look. TEXTILE BACKGROUND Before getting to the pine cone though I first needed to prepare the other parts of the project. For this I chose a woven textile design from the In Good Taste 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. I began by using my Paper Trimmer to cut and score some ... VIEW POST

I Love A Can Do Attitude

October 14, 2020 Leave a Comment

Last week I decorated a notebook with a pretty poinsettia patterned paper. As I finished the project I realised that my hubby could do with a notebook to keep track of all those little jobs that need doing around the house. So now he's had his vacation time approved I decided it was time to make that notebook. In fact I opted for a notepad with plain pages. That way he can include his little sketches and measurements for each job. Anything I can do to make his tasks easier is a bonus ... VIEW POST

Spider Season Is Almost Here

August 29, 2020 Leave a Comment

While I love autumn for it's glorious colours, I'm not so keen on some of the other things it brings. It always seems like there's more spiders around as the weather starts to turn cooler. So although I'm not really scared of them, if I do see a spider I will give it a wide berth. That said, I don't mind adding a cute spider to a Halloween project. Today's treat package is a case in point. STONE WALL BACKDROP When I was thinking about making a Halloween treat package my options were ... VIEW POST

"Be as bold as your lipstick" notebook decorated using the Dressed To Impress Stamp Set and coordinating All Dressed Up Dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Not Sure I’ll Ever Be This Bold

August 11, 2020 Leave a Comment

I love to colour but one thing that I struggle with is highlights. So I was very pleased with myself when I worked out how to make a flat lipstick image look rounded. Sometimes you just have to keep trying, in the certain knowledge that eventually you'll get there. To celebrate today's milestone I went looking for a really bold colour that would match my lipstick to the sentiment. Bold I may be, but probably not THAT bold. QUICK BACKGROUND LAYERS I began with a 3-1/2" x 5-1/2" spiral ... VIEW POST

"Let's celebrate you" with this gift card holder featuring a gold embossed and painted flower from the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set by Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Celebrate With A Sunflower And Lace

July 27, 2020 Leave a Comment

It occurred to me yesterday that it's been ages since I last made a gift card holder. In fact what reminded me was seeing how many of my gift card holders I have sold recently. So what better way to celebrate than to make more... PAINTED SUNFLOWER I began my project with the pretty small sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set. Using VersaMark ink I stamped the image onto some Shimmery White Card. Next I sprinkled the sticky ink with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder ... VIEW POST
