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
Quiet Meadow Thoughts Of Spring
It’s funny how a little bit of sunshine and blue sky can raise the spirits. While I’m still in COVID self-isolation I’m enjoying the first signs of spring. Today we were treated to the sight of a dozen white-tailed deer in the area behind our house. The birds are out, and so was one of our resident red squirrels. I love living in rural Nova Scotia with all the wildlife that comes to visit. We’re working on creating a flower meadow in the back field and that inspired ... 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
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
Happy Hedgehogs For All Occasions
Today's blog post will be a pretty quick one, but I still have a new product sneak peek for you. This time it's the Happy Hedgehogs Stamp Set. This 9 piece photopolymer stamp set has 7 images that can be combined to make simple scenes. There's also two sentiments to add to your projects. What's particularly exciting about this set is that one of the two hedgehog images coordinates with the new Hedgehog Builder Punch. I have a lot of ideas for using both products, but first I just combined ... VIEW POST
