It's time for another A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop, albeit a bit later than usual. The July 2020 kit was called Summer Nights and was full of wonderful backgrounds. I loved the projects in the kit but had lots of other ideas for alternate projects. Here's just two of them. SIMPLE SUMMER NIGHTS CARD First up I created this simple summer scene using one of the postcard bases in the Summer Nights kit. I began by stamping the adult and child image from the A Good Man Stamp Set onto the ... VIEW POST
Retirement Brings A New Adventure
Today's project has it all. A retiring stamp set, a video showing a couple of techniques, and a new take on a continuing stamp set. At the end there's also a sneak peek from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue that goes live on June 3rd. It all started because I wanted to make one last card using the retiring On To Adventure Stamp Set... OFF CAMERA PREPARATIONS In order to keep my video fairly short I decided to do a few things off camera first. Using my Paper Trimmer I cut some Thick ... VIEW POST
Last Chance In The Clubhouse
Today I thought it was time for another masculine project. It's a simple idea using just Night of Navy and white. The Clubhouse Stamp Set, Golf Club Dies and Country Club Designer Series Paper (DSP) are all retiring, but are still available while stocks last. It's a fairly simple layout but check out the idea for getting extra dimension on delicate die cuts. CLUBHOUSE STAMPING I began with the golfer image from the Clubhouse Stamp Set and stamped him onto Thick Whisper White ... VIEW POST
A Project For The Golf Club
I've been having such fun playing with parts of the new Country Club Suite. On previous projects I've used the Clubhouse Stamp Set and Country Club Designer Series Paper. Today though I've brought it all together with the addition of the coordinating Golf Club Dies. CLUBHOUSE STAMPING I started my project with some stamping using the Clubhouse Stamp Set and Thick Whisper White Card. First I used Night of Navy ink to stamp the sentiment "You're the greatest guy by par" twice. Then ... VIEW POST
First Project In The Clubhouse
Often when I get a new stamp set I like to try out the images by making small projects. It might be a #simplestamping card, or a gift tag. Today however my 'test' project is a quick bookmark using the Clubhouse Stamp Set. GOLF I'm not a golfer but I do like to watch some of the championships on TV and can even name a few golfers. I'm often struck by the bright colours worn by the players and for some reason pink shirts come to mind. So with that in my head, I set to work. First ... VIEW POST
Another Catalogue Collaboration
Today my blog post is two hours later than usual and I have no excuse other than I had a lie in. The morning started slowly and seems to be continuing in the same vein, not that that's a bad thing. When I got up I had in mind a masculine gift tag, and that's what I made. What I hadn't known at the start that I'd end up with a collaboration using products from the Annual and new Mini catalogues. It's a simple Sunday project that makes me smile. ON TO ADVENTURE I began by cutting a ... VIEW POST
