Greetings! It’s the first Monday of the month and time for another IDEAS blog hop where this month our theme is “color me happy”. When crafting, all colours make me happy, especially when Stampin’ Up! produces coordinating card, ink etc in all of their 50 colours. So for my Tutorial Bundle projects I decided to use pairs of colours from the Regals and Subtles families and the Go To Greetings Stamp Set. Meanwhile for my blog followers I used the same stamp set to create a “Thinking of you” ... VIEW POST
Man, It’s A No Stamp Sunday!
As an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and passionate paper crafter I craft every day. To be honest even if I wasn’t blogging every day too I’d probably still be creating something. My projects always involve card, and most days stamps and ink. But for today’s simple Sunday project all I needed was the He’s the Man Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). With the recent retirement of the Playful Alphabet Dies I thought my bookmark genre series was done, that was until I realised I had the ... VIEW POST
Texture Chic Surprise
Did you know that in 206 days it will be Christmas? That's almost 30 weeks I hear you say. True, but think about how many cards you’ll want to send, and divide that by 30. That’s what you’ll need to make this week, and every week until Christmas. Of course the cards are actually sent ahead of time, which means we don’t have 30 weeks at all. So when I came across the snowflake pattern in the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper pack, I knew what I had to do. SEASONAL TEXTURE CHIC I have to ... VIEW POST
Slimline Birthday Greetings
If you’re looking to make something other than a standard A2 (4-1/4” x 5-1/2”) card why not try a slimline? I’ve seen a number of different sizes of slimline cards with different names such as ‘mini slimline’, ‘short slimline’ etc. But the one I prefer starts with a piece of card 7” x 8-1/2”, scored on the short side at 3-1/2”. I like this because it makes great use of 8-1/2” x 11” sheets of card for the base and layers. Plus it fits the Slimline Envelopes from Stampin’ Up! SLIMLINE ... VIEW POST
Classic Man Card
After a run of flowers, animals and birds I decided that it was time for something a little more masculine. Other papercrafters often tell me that making cards and gifts for the man in their life is incredibly challenging. I’m not immune to this either. Some projects are easier than others and I specifically look out for products that will help me. So buying the stamp set, dies, paper and embellishments in the He’s The Man Suite Collection was a bit of a no-brainer. This birthday card uses it ... VIEW POST
Songbirds Maiden Flight
It’s the weekend, the sun is shining and it’s due to warm up too. This morning there were 9 white-tailed deer vising the all-you-can-eat buffet that is my front lawn. Also more obvious now are the various birds that visit when our black cat Houdini is not in a playful mood. We even saw our first blue jay this year. These brightly coloured birds always make me smile when I see them, so blue was the colour I reached for when designing today’s project using the Sweet Songbirds Stamp Set. SWEET ... VIEW POST
