Make these two alternate projects with the May 2022 Paper Pumpkin kit "Celebrating in Color" and Elephant Parade Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing: Celebrating In Color

May 26, 2022 Leave a Comment

It's the last Thursday of the month and time for another A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop. To be honest I thought I'd have to miss this one as my Celebrating In Color kit arrived quite late. Even so, I managed to create two alternate projects in the short time I had available. While I loved the bright 'as designed' projects I thought it would be fun to try something focusing on the foiled sentiments. So with the kit and few extras from my craft studio I set to work... I love the card ... VIEW POST

Encircled In Beauty Retires

April 1, 2022 Leave a Comment

When a product is retired by Stampin' Up! I stop using it on my blog projects. This is because I'd hate you to fall in love with something you can no longer buy. Many of these products are then sold off to make room for new things. But there are always exceptions for products that will definitely stay for my own private use. The Encircled In Beauty Dies fall into that latter category. I love being able to create doilies in any colour I want, and in multiple sizes too. ENCIRCLED IN ... VIEW POST

Romance Was Top Of Mind

March 22, 2022 Leave a Comment

You know it’s funny the things that come to mind as I’m considering new projects to make for my blog. Take the other night... I was thinking about bookmarks and the kinds of books people read. I’m a fan of medical thrillers especially by Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs, but I do like other genres too. And then it occurred to me, what about having a different bookmark tailored to each genre! So to kick off that idea I designed this pretty bookmark that’s perfect for all those romance ... VIEW POST

Create this sea themed card with "you are turtle-y loved" sentiment using the Whale Done and Turtle Friends Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Whale Done Turtle Friends

March 19, 2022 Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago I designed a gift tag using two different stamp sets that were made for each other, Seas the Day and Whale Done. At the end of the post I mentioned there was another stamp set that went perfectly with Whale Done. I promised to bring you a project showing what I meant, and today’s the day. I can’t believe I never noticed the link between Turtle Friends and Whale Done before, but here it is. Maybe I should look more closely at my other stamp sets... LOOK WHAT I FOUND! When ...

Positive Thoughts And A Positive Test

March 9, 2022 4 Comments

Oh my goodness I just cannot get myself into gear today!  Hubby and I had PCR tests done yesterday which confirmed the positive COVID results from the rapid tests on Monday.  We’re both doing OK, lots of nose blowing mostly, although I have a sore throat that comes and goes.  Self-isolation consists of watching the TV, reading, and a bit of crafting for me (although I’m easily distracted).  Still, I did manage to design this “Hugs Prayers Love” card using the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set and ...

Sunflowers Bundle Is Back

March 4, 2022 Leave a Comment

Right now you’ve probably noticed lots of sunflower images on social media.  That’s because they’re national flower of Ukraine.  People everywhere are adopting them and displaying them as a symbol of solidarity with the Ukrainian people.  After creating a card featuring the colours of the Ukrainian flag earlier in the week, today I wanted to create something with sunflowers.  That was an easy option using the Celebrating Sunflowers Stamp Set.  So with a vague idea in my ...
