Create this pretty birthday card using the Decorative Borders and Go To Greetings Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Decorative Simplicity

January 10, 2023 Leave a Comment

With pretty sentiments like those in the Go To Greetings Stamp Set designing a card project can be challenging. If I want the sentiment to stand out I tend to go for much simpler backgrounds and layouts. That might involve a subtle paper pattern. Or I’ve used a plain card background layer with an embossed texture for added interest. Today though I decided to pull out my new Decorative Borders Stamp Set. With a tried and tested navy and white colour scheme this elegant birthday card came together ... VIEW POST

Adorable Owls

January 7, 2023 Leave a Comment

Every time I think the Stampin’ Up! artists can’t get any better they prove me wrong. Today’s project features two new products that I absolutely love. The first is the Rain Or Shine 12” x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). I’ve used various patterns from this pack but it was time to finally cut up that large meadow scene. With that amazing background already done for me all I needed was a focal point. That came courtesy of the Adorable Owls Stamp Set that’s available for FREE during ... VIEW POST

IDEAS Blog Hop: Day At The Farm

January 4, 2023 10 Comments

Today is the day we finally say goodbye to the July to December 2022 Mini Catalogue. Starting tomorrow customers will finally be able to order products from the January to April 2023 Mini Catalogue and also earn free Sale-A-Bration items. So for this month’s IDEAS blog hop we decided to focus on what we love from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. I chose the free Day At The Farm 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP), even though I don’t have the coordinating stamp set and dies from the Mini Catalogue ... VIEW POST

Sneak Peeks Beside Me

December 28, 2022 Leave a Comment

With Christmas out of the way I think it’s time I started bringing you some sneaks peeks from the Stampin’ Up! January to April 2023 Mini Catalogue. This 92 page catalogue goes live to customers on January 5th and is chock full of new products. Also starting on January 5th is the annual Sale-A-Bration promotion where you can earn exclusive free items with a qualifying order. So to kick off my sneak peeks I wanted to create a really simple project using a new masculine stamp set called Beside ... VIEW POST

Create this simple card with "Thank you for being a part of my life" sentiment using the By My Side Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

By My Side Thank You

December 21, 2022 Leave a Comment

OK I admit it I may be slightly addicted to colouring my stamped images. I’m not an expert by any means but I do find it relaxing. Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers also make it ridiculously easy to get a nice even colour without those horrid lines other markers often leave. One of my favourite styles of focal point is a ‘scene’ and I’ve created a few using the characters from the By My Side Stamp Set. It’s such fun being able to put words into their mouths so to speak. BY MY SIDE ... VIEW POST

Florets Of Fancy

December 15, 2022 Leave a Comment

After yesterday’s very dramatic black gift tag I thought I should bring you a complete contrast for today’s project. So from my collection of cards created during my personal “24 cards in 24 hours” challenge I chose this birthday card. The design is really easy to do and uses no special techniques or tools. The fun part here was creating my own background design using the Framed Florets Stamp Set and three Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. The colours are a favourite combination of Old Olive, ...
