For today’s simple Sunday project I have another sneak peek from the new Mini Catalogue. Much of this catalogue is geared to Christmas crafting and one suite of products immediately caught my attention. It’s called the Boughs of Holly suite featuring a stamp set, coordinating dies, wood embellishments and ribbon. As you’d expect there’s also some Designer Series Paper (DSP). And that’s what I noticed first. This Boughs of Holly 12” x 12” DSP is rather unusual though as there’s very little holly ... VIEW POST
Thoughtful In The Moment
Yesterday's birthday gift tag was all about the New Horizons Designer Series Paper (DSP) background. Plus of course, that cute stamped, punched and padded hedgehog. Today I decided to keep things clean and simple with another new stamp set called In The Moment. If you've enjoyed the Beautiful Moments or the (now retired) Beautiful You Stamp Sets, you'll love this one. This set has three large line art scenes with three sentiments. While the images are designed to be coloured, it's not ... VIEW POST
Peaceful Cabin Is Retiring Soon
I'm not sure where the weekend went, but I'm pretty sure it decided to clock out early. We're still awaiting the arrival of a big rain and wind storm. There's still more we want to get done outside before we hunker down to ride out the worst of the weather. On the plus side at least it's not snow that will need shovelling! So while we get on with our preparations you to get to enjoy today's project. It's a simple Christmas card created using the Peaceful Cabin Stamp Set. PEACEFUL ... VIEW POST
Christmas Cards For Friends
Yesterday's blog posed the question of "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Christmas" as a sentiment. But sometimes it's nice to do something completely different. Christmas To Remember is a sentiment only stamp set that offers some alternative options for cards and other Christmas projects. While most of the sentiments are most definitely for Christmas, there are a couple that could be used at other times. Imagine today's sentiment on a hockey or other sports-themed card. In fact there's lots of ... VIEW POST
Label Me A Winter Scene Gift Tag
Last week I created a birthday gift tag with a dancing chicken. I loved how bright and cheerful it was, but it did involve quite a bit of work. So for this week's simple Sunday project I wanted to pare it right back. Today's project is a "Just for you" tag with a winter theme, using a couple of label punches to create the tag base. LABEL TAG Instead of making a rectangular tag using one of Stampin' Tag Topper Punches I thought I'd see what other punches I could use. It was then I ... VIEW POST
Christmas Card Making In Bulk
One of the things I love about making my own cards is that I can make each one unique and as elaborate as I like. This often means spending a lot of time fussing with different tools and materials. If I'm making a card for a special occasion this is a labour of love and I'll keep going until I'm done. With Christmas however things get tricky. There's so many more cards to make that sometimes the amount of time I have for each one is greatly reduced. I still make some extra special ones, but ... VIEW POST
