With Christmas almost here it's time to start thinking of saying thanks. Whether its for gifts received or simply to acknowledge someone who helps you, thanks are always appreciated. So today's simple Sunday project is a really simple card layout including a few retiring products. SIMPLE LAYERS My project began with a simple card base. First, using my Paper Trimmer I cut and scored some retiring thick Whisper White Card. Then I folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease ... VIEW POST
Blending Something Old With Something New
With Christmas just ten days away hopefully most people are nearly done with their seasonal crafting and looking ahead. So today I decided to create a Valentine or wedding gift tag. My original plan was to continue to showcase products that are retiring and now only available while stocks last. But somewhere along the way a couple of new products crept into my hands. So today you get to see a new ribbon and a new ink blending tool that will be available from January 5th. FANCY TAG ... VIEW POST
Creating A Gift Tag With Texture
Yesterday afternoon I was in a gift tag kind of mood. I often sit and make a batch of gift tags as a way to develop ideas. I might have a stamp set that lends itself to tag sentiments, or small scraps of card or paper to use up. Or sometimes it's a punch, die or embossing folder that inspires me. This tag was a combination of all three, and I love how it turned out. A LITTLE SOMETHING This tag started with my favourite stamp set, Wrapped In Christmas. The "a little something for ... VIEW POST
Tag Designs Don’t Need To Be Complicated
With all the card making I do I inevitably end up with small scraps of patterned paper and card. For the most part I keep these pieces as I hate to waste anything. So when I find my scrap collection getting out of control I often turn them into a tag or two, or three. TAG BASE For today's tag project I began with a 2" x 3-3/4" piece of Misty Moonlight Card. Using the Fancy Tag Topper Punch I shaped one end and set it aside. Then I punched the top of a 1-3/4" x 3-3/4" piece of ... VIEW POST
No Pumpkin Stamps No Problem
Life has been pretty hectic lately but with so many 'holidays' crammed into the last few months of the year that's not unexpected. I does remind me though that sometimes while you might want something hand-crafted, it has to be quick and easy. When I realised I don't have any pumpkin stamps that could have been an issue for my Thanksgiving preparations. But being the creative type I thought outside the stamp set and found some lovely pumpkins in the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP) ... VIEW POST
Z-Fold cards really aren’t that difficult
Just recently it occurred to me that while I design three or four cards every week all year long, I rarely show you 'fancy folds'. My card bases tend to be the basic piece of card folded in the middle and I've resolved to try and be a little more imaginative. So today I've added an extra scored line to create a simple Z-fold card. Z-FOLD CARD BASE Creating a z-fold card base is really simple and I usually prepare mine so it's the same size as a normal A2 card. Today I started by ... VIEW POST
