Christmas card featuring embossed 'comfort & joy' sentiment with holly embellishment and music background created using the Timeless Tidings, Peaceful Poinsettia and Sheet Music Stamp Sets, all from Stampin' Up!

Tidings of Comfort & Joy

November 10, 2018 Leave a Comment

Today’s project was originally created by me back at the beginning of October as part of my personal World Card Making Day challenge to design and create 24 cards in 24 hours.  Unfortunately since making this card the Joyous Noel Designer Series Paper I used for the background has been discontinued.  Now normally I’d not show you a project using retired products, but today I’m going to make an exception as the rest of the products including the comfort & joy sentiment are still available.  I ...

Hot Chocolate Pouch For A Customer

October 31, 2018 Leave a Comment

Some weeks ago I was talking about some of my old projects.  I've been an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator for almost 5 years, and been blogging daily for over 4 of them, so there's a lot out there!  Sadly, many of the products and materials I used in these older projects have now retired.  Certainly not all of them, but enough.  So I asked if there were any old projects that you'd like me to remake using current products and one of my customers came up with a great one.  In fact I've since ...

Joyous Noel Beautiful Pattern

October 19, 2018 2 Comments

For someone who used to say they didn't use much Designer Series Paper (DSP) in their designs, I appear to have changed.  Perhaps it's because my papercrafting skills and interests have evolved over the years.  I suspect however that I simply see a beautiful pattern on almost every sheet that Stampin' Up! sells. Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper is one such pack.  Rich colours, copper foil accents and designs for Christmas and other occasions.  I'm having a hard time NOT reaching ... VIEW POST

Merry Christmas To All

October 3, 2018 3 Comments

Did you know that there's only 59 days until December 1st!  So if you're planning on getting your handmade cards in the mail by then, it's time to get going.  Sending 30 cards?  You'll need to make one every other day.  Somehow pulling out my new Merry Christmas to All Stamp Set this morning doesn't seem so premature after all. Today I fancied making something with a luxurious feel, but without lots of work.  With the help of the Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) I think I ... VIEW POST

Joyous Noel with Copper Foil

September 1, 2018 Leave a Comment

Once upon a time there was a lady who discovered Stampin' Up! and began to make her own cards.  She'd been told she wasn't very artistic, but she persevered, playing every day with her with stamps, ink and paper.  In the beginning her projects were very basic, but as time passed she began to experiment.  She discovered sparkly Glimmer Paper, heat embossing, sequins and ribbon, and began to use them more often.  Now she couldn't imagine not using these pretty things, and when she saw the new ...

'Use your scraps' was in my mind when I designed this masculine birthday card with shadow layered Happy Birthday die-cut from Stampin' Up!

Use your scraps and stay in control

August 21, 2018 6 Comments

Many times in my blog I've tried to help you use your scraps with my project design inspirations.  I've had a few people tell me that finding the right scraps is an issue for them too.  Being organised with how you store and use your scraps is essential if you're to succeed with this.  That's even more important for me as I keep the tiniest pieces. After a few years of trying various solutions I think I've got this down to a fine art.  I have one biscuit tin that contains all my card scraps ... VIEW POST
