I was attracted to the five new 2023-2025 In Colors from Stampin’ Up! as soon as I saw them. There’s something about these earth tones that just captured my imagination, and I was immediately sad that they’d only be around for two years. The first one that really caught my eye was Moody Mauve. I’ve always thought of mauve as a purple but this has more of a pink tone. Regardless of the name I love it and decided to create a card using nothing else (except white and gold). MAUVE HEARTS I ... VIEW POST
A Paper Pumpkin Thing: 10 Years Of Growth
It’s the first Friday in the month and that means it’s time for the A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop. This month we’re celebrating ten years of Paper Pumpkin kits with alternate projects using the March 2023 kit. The colour palette used in the aptly named “10 Years Of Growth” kit is absolutely gorgeous and very spring-like. I’ve even created an image using some of these as inspiration for future projects. For my alternate projects I decided to make a card along with a quick and easy gift card ... VIEW POST
Whale Hello Again
Once upon a time I had patterned paper that paired beautifully with a number of sea-themed stamp sets. Sadly the paper retired and as a result my interest in the stamp sets waned. But I’ve come to realise that crafting is a circle of trends, ideas and inspiration. So when I opened up the new Hello, Irresistible 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (DSP) I was inspired to revisit the Whale Done Stamp Set. The announcement from Stampin’ Up! that the Pretty Peacock colour is returning soon didn’t hurt ... VIEW POST
Valentine Treat
We’re halfway through February and it’s Valentine’s Day. Of course in Nova Scotia that means I’m currently listening to the wind and wondering how much more snow we’ll get. My plan is to stay indoors and sort out some things in my craft studio until I’m inevitably distracted and end up crafting instead. That’s exactly what happened yesterday when I found some Simply Classic Treat Boxes and made this project. These boxes are retired, BUT are still available in the Clearance Rack at 40% off, ...

Not A Christmas Gift Tag
Did you know as well as their Annual and Mini (seasonal) catalogues Stampin Up! has ‘online only’ products too? For the past year or so we’ve been treated to the Kits Collection. As the name suggests this is a collection of kits that contain all the prepared pieces to create specific projects. I love these as they’re great for crafting on the go. Of course you don’t have to follow the instructions exactly and I enjoy making alternate projects, like this Valentine's "with love" gift tag using the ... VIEW POST
Delicate Desert Wrap
It’s Groundhog Day and blooming freezing outside! I’ve just checked Shubenacadie Sam’s Facebook page and she ventured out just long enough to predict six more weeks of winter. Not that I mind, that means six more weeks of keeping warm and entertained in my craft studio. When I was shopping recently I came across a little box of Lindor chocolates that gave me an idea for a Valentine’s Day project. So this morning, having found some coordinating paper in the Delicate Desert Designer Series Paper ... VIEW POST
