I must be honest and say that the design of this simple project was only half planned. You see I'd decided to create a "Thinking of you" card and reached for the appropriately named Go To Greetings Stamp Set. However when I opened up the stamp case I found some Basic White Card that had already been stamped with the largest of the Thinking of You sentiments in Tuxedo Black ink. It was obviously meant to be, so with the new Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder I set to work LEAF FALL First I ... VIEW POST
Celebrate With A Sash
I've made a few slimline cards but I'm pretty sure I've always taken the easy option of using 12" x 12" paper. However today I decided to try make this simple Sunday project using paper that's pre-cut at 6" x 6". Whenever I design a card I always decorate the inside and the accompanying envelope, and doing all that with one single 6” x 6” sheet of paper would be a challenge. I managed it though and the result was this birthday card using the Celebrate With Tags Stamp Set. 6x6 PAPER ... VIEW POST
Fern Changing Colours
As I sat down to create today’s project I had just a very vague idea of what I was doing. All I knew was that I wanted to experiment a little more with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. In previous experiments I’d simply embossed coloured card, which turned out remarkably well. After that I'd inked up some card before embossing the fern design into it, and adding other ink colours afterwards. Today I wanted to see what would happen if I started by embossing Basic White Card before inking ... VIEW POST
Brushstroke Paper Is Lightweight
If you saw yesterday’s blog post you’ll know that project happened as a follow-on from something else I’d made. Then it was the ink colour used on a bookmark that inspired the subsequent card. Well obviously there must be something in the air as today’s project follows on from that! This time it was the He’s All That Stamp Set I used yesterday that inspired today’s project. So with the coordinating All That Dies and gorgeous Brushstroke 12” x 12” Specialty Paper this is what I finally came up ... VIEW POST
Starry Sky Monochrome
Do you make one project and walk away, or do you create several in one sitting? For me it often comes down to inspiration. I often think of new project ideas while I’m still working on something else. For this reason I generally keep a notebook handy so I can write things down before I forget. Other times it’s not a specific project that I think of, but rather a desire to keep using a particular product. That’s how I ended up with this birthday card in monochrome Starry Sky. DECORATIVE ...

Texture Chic Is Back
Despite the well reported “global shipping crisis” I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how Stampin’ Up! has managed to maintain supplies of their products. That’s not say some things don’t go out of stock occasionally, but it really is only a very small percentage of items. The Texture Chic 12” x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) was briefly on that list. Thankfully it’s back and I can now show you this simple masculine / gender-neutral “Thinking of You” card. I think the design would work ... VIEW POST
