Looking For A Smaller Lily

January 17, 2020 Leave a Comment

Have you seen the free waterlily stamp set, dies and Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper (DSP) in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure? I must admit have the paper but haven't got my hands on the stamp set or dies. Yet. But what I do have is the Lilypad Lake Stamp Set and coordinating Lakeside Dies that are in the Annual Catalogue. These have been around for a year or two and I haven't used them in a while. So when I saw the Lily Impressions DSP I knew I had a smaller lily stamp that would be ... VIEW POST

Faith card featuring an image and sentiment from the Lilypad Lake and Ribbon of Courage Stamp Sets. The water background is from the Graceful Glass Designer Vellum from Stampin' Up!

The Simplest Water Background

September 8, 2018 4 Comments

Often I know where the inspiration for my projects comes from, or at least have a vague idea.  Today is not one of those days.  I'm not even sure what made me pull out the Graceful Glass Designer Vellum.  But once I'd created the water background, the rest of the project seemed to happen all by itself. WATER BACKGROUND This water background was so easy to do.  I began with the Graceful Glass Designer Vellum with the embossed side up and I used a Dark Pool Party Stampin' ... VIEW POST

Wink of Stella is simply beautiful

Confession time.  I was very late to the party when it came to Wink of Stella Glitter Brushes.  I'd come across them in some craft stores but never actually bought one.  I suppose at the time I must have thought they were a bit like glitter glue which I had no use for.  Of course once a friend let me try her Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, I was hooked. Today is Monday and that means it's time for another What Will You Stamp? Challenge.  This week the challenge is WWYS181 Lilypad Lake, ... VIEW POST

Faux canvas

July 6, 2018 Leave a Comment

Some years ago Stampin' Up! sold a product that had an art canvas type of texture.  It's no longer available but I've discovered a quick and easy way to get that canvas effect, all courtesy of my new favourite Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder called Subtle. This project actually started with the Lilypad Lake Stamp Set and Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I stamped the sailboat image onto a scrap of Whisper White Card and then coloured the pair of boats using Coastal Cabana and ...

Going far

The other day my hubby called me to the window as there was a large bird in our garden that he didn't recognise.  Well very much true to form, the minute I got to the window the said bird flew off, but I did manage to get a bit of a look and suspect it was a heron. We see all kinds of wildlife around our little patch of Nova Scotia and the views from our home often inspire me to create projects like this simple picture. I started with a piece of card in my new favourite background ... VIEW POST

Sailing away

June 5, 2018 Leave a Comment

Living on a hill overlooking the Cobequid Bay here in Nova Scotia it stands to reason that I'd be attracted to stamp sets that feature water images.  Lilypad Lake is one such stamp set and the fact that it can be purchased as a bundle at a 10% discount was even better. With today's project I have to say from the outset that while it might be small in size, it's chock full of new products from the Stampin' Up! 2018/2019 Annual Catalogue that went live on June 1st. It all started with a ... VIEW POST
