Lights Aglow Coordination

November 3, 2022 Leave a Comment

Well today started off very nicely with a rare lie-in. The sun is shining and although it’s chilly out I’m snug and warm indoors. I’d created today’s Christmas card project using the Brightest Glow Bundle and coordinating Lights Aglow paper and sat down to write my blog. And that’s when things started to go wrong. Somehow my website is hiding some of the key components I use to add images and the product links. After almost an hour I’ve found a work-around so I can finally show you this ... VIEW POST

Holly Leaves At Last

September 16, 2022 Leave a Comment

Did you know that when I post a new project I aim to only use products that you can actually buy? From past experience I know how frustrating it is to fall in love with something only to find it’s no longer available. So I try to never do that to my followers. This makes writing my blog posts challenging as I have to reschedule projects when something is temporarily unavailable. Today though is a good day as the Holly Berry Dies used on this design are back in stock. LEAVES OF HOLLY ... VIEW POST

Celebrate With A Sash

September 11, 2022 Leave a Comment

I've made a few slimline cards but I'm pretty sure I've always taken the easy option of using 12" x 12" paper. However today I decided to try make this simple Sunday project using paper that's pre-cut at 6" x 6". Whenever I design a card I always decorate the inside and the accompanying envelope, and doing all that with one single 6” x 6” sheet of paper would be a challenge. I managed it though and the result was this birthday card using the Celebrate With Tags Stamp Set. 6x6 PAPER ... VIEW POST

Pick A Punch Reminder

July 18, 2022 Leave a Comment

It appears that our rural internet doesn’t like the heat and keeps cutting out. Sadly there’s not a lot we can do about it except keep our online activities short. So with that in mind I’ve changed the project for today’s blog to something quicker. This means I’ve more chance of completing my blog post and getting it to publish. I created today’s card at the end of a marathon die-cutting session when I was exploring different options for sentiments. Then I thought I should look at my punch ... VIEW POST

Bokeh Lights Effect

July 13, 2022 Leave a Comment

On Monday I took part in a “Holidays” blog hop with the IDEAS team. As part of that I contributed designs for a Christmas card and gift box for the 70 page Tutorial PDF bundle. These projects won’t be available anywhere else and therefore for my blog followers I created a coordinating gift tag. One section of that was a bokeh background layer using the Lights Aglow 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. So for today’s project I wanted to give you a closer look at this effect. Bokeh is a ... VIEW POST

IDEAS Blog Hop: Very Best Occasions

July 11, 2022 10 Comments

It’s time for another IDEAS blog hop where this month our theme is “holidays”. While we've just celebrated Canada Day here, I wanted to look towards the end of the year. Christmas is definitely my favourite holiday for crafting projects, and I suspect for many others too. So for my Tutorial Bundle projects I decided to use my go to paper right now, Lights Aglow and the Very Best Occasions Bundle. Meanwhile for my blog followers I used these products to create a striking “love you mean it” gift ... VIEW POST
