Leafy Heart Makes A Simple Layer

August 6, 2020 Leave a Comment

Once upon a time I never fussy cut anything. Then as time went on I'd cut shapes or simple images when I had no punch or die to do it for me. Now I find myself reaching for my Paper Snips more and more often. When I started today's project I fully intended to have my stamped heart on a simple square layer. However, as so often happens, when I began to put the project together another option popped into my head. TEXTURED BACKGROUND I began my project by creating the card base and ... VIEW POST

Seeing Spots And Drawing Lines

August 1, 2020 Leave a Comment

As I continue with my sneak peeks from the August to December 2020 Mini Catalogue I thought is was time to add a little texture. Over the past year or so I think I've really begun to appreciate how embossing folders can enhance a project. From the simple lines of the appropriately named Subtle 3D Embossing Folder to the detail of the Seabed 3D Embossing Folder, each one is a work of art. For today's project I chose one of the two 3-3/8" x 6-1/4" folders in the new Wrapped In Texture pack. ... VIEW POST

Yesterday Tragedy Touched My World

April 20, 2020 6 Comments

Yesterday morning as I sat down to write my blog I said it was an "interesting" morning. On the instructions of the RCMP we were locked in our home and keeping an eye out for strangers on our property. All we knew at the time was that there was an "active shooter" situation 3kms down the road. Living in a rural community we're used to hearing the odd gunshot during hunting season. This however was something entirely different. Little did we know that as the day progressed the eyes of the ... VIEW POST

Layered Effect With A Faux Mat Technique

March 23, 2020 2 Comments

I have a feeling I have a busy day ahead. Yesterday the Nova Scotia Premier announced a state of emergency here in Nova Scotia. You may not know but as well as papercrafting and blogging, I also work as a pharmacy assistant. Pharmacies are an essential service and so this means I'll be going to work my shifts as normal. No staying home and binge-watching Harry Potter for me! Those of you who can stay home, should. Before you head for the front door ask yourself this question... "Do I ... VIEW POST

A Project For The Golf Club

February 1, 2020 2 Comments

I've been having such fun playing with parts of the new Country Club Suite. On previous projects I've used the Clubhouse Stamp Set and Country Club Designer Series Paper. Today though I've brought it all together with the addition of the coordinating Golf Club Dies. CLUBHOUSE STAMPING I started my project with some stamping using the Clubhouse Stamp Set and Thick Whisper White Card. First I used Night of Navy ink to stamp the sentiment "You're the greatest guy by par" twice. Then ... VIEW POST

Taking Subtle To A Whole New Level

December 18, 2019 4 Comments

Playing with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder is always fun, but I think I've taken it to a whole new level. The other day I made a masculine card using the embossing folder to create an ink embossed background. Today I decided to try something new that I've not seen anywhere else and... Well I'll let you decide the result for yourself. SUBTLE BUT AMAZING This project all started with a piece of Crumb Cake Card and a Crumb Cake ink pad. First I wiped the ink pad on the inside of the ... VIEW POST
