Two-part gift tag created using the Ornamental Envelopes Stamp Set and coordinating Envelopes Dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Ornamental Swinging Tags Inspiration

December 23, 2020 Leave a Comment

With Christmas right around the corner it's time to get going on wrapping those parcels. For me that inevitably means making more gift tags. Today's swinging gift tag project uses the retiring Ornamental Envelopes Stamp Set and coordinating dies. But if you don't have that bundle to hand, think of it as more of an idea. Perhaps you have bell images, or parcel images. In fact you could use just about anything. ORNAMENTAL ENVELOPES?! With no actual envelopes in sight today you might ... VIEW POST

Embrace The Brick Wall

October 30, 2019 2 Comments

You've probably guessed by now that I'm passionate about papercrafting. I suppose I have to be to design and create a new project every day for my blog. That doesn't mean that I don't experience a creative block every now and again, I do. However when I hit that brick wall I simply sit down and start playing and experimenting with tools and materials. I don't have a finished project in mind, or any kind of plan. I just play for the fun of it and try not to stress about 'making ... VIEW POST

WCMD Challenge Completed, Just

October 6, 2019 Leave a Comment

Oh my goodness am I tired! Yesterday at 5.55 pm, with just 5 minutes to spare I completed my World Card Making Day challenge. I'd decided for WCMD that I'd once again attempt to design and create from scratch, 24 cards in 24 hours. If that wasn't enough I also wrote a blog post and did a load of washing in that time too. No I'm not superwoman, just completely daft. Yesterday I was definitely running on adrenaline and 2 hours sleep, today I'm tired. So instead of making another project I've ... VIEW POST

Alohomora And Other Unique Words

September 23, 2019 Leave a Comment

It's no secret that I'm a book-lover and am quite old-school in that I like printed books rather than e-versions. There's something quite special about settling into a cosy chair with a good book and a hot drink. A love of reading is something that I'm happy to say that other family members have developed too. My late son was a voracious reader, and when he died two years ago I kept a number of his books including his well-loved Harry Potter collection. He regularly told me that even if ... VIEW POST

Bad Puns and #WWYS210

March 11, 2019 4 Comments

Do you ever find yourself dragging out a childhood memory and thinking about those really bad puns and jokes? Well I have to say that's exactly what I found myself doing with the Sale-A-Bration stamp set So Hoppy Together. So when I realised that the What Will You Stamp? challenge #WWYS210 used this set, I couldn't resist any longer. So here's what happened, I saw the frog with the glasses and thought that he looked very studious. Then that made me think of reading, and of course ... VIEW POST

Lots to do today so I have a really quick project for you. I thought about this a while ago, but then the Gingham Gala 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP) went onto backorder. I'm delighted to say that the paper is back in stock now, so here's a quick and easy idea for decorating a simple pocket photo album. GINGHAM GALA It all started with the Gingham Gala DSP.
