This week we survived a major snowstorm that fizzled out before it actually got to us, although I fear winter isn’t quite done yet. Still, I’ve a spring craft fair coming up in a couple of weeks so I don’t need any other excuse to stay in and craft. Notebooks and notepads are always a popular item and at a Christmas craft fair one customer bought NINE of them! To restock I decided to pull out the Happy Labels Stamp Set and coordinating Happy Labels Pick A Punch and set to work. PRETTY ... VIEW POST
Back To Bamboo
Two weeks from today we’ll find out which Stampin’ Up! products will be retiring from the 2022-2023 Annual and January to April 2023 Mini Catalogues. Every year at this time I’m sad at the thought of seeing favourite items go, but at the same time excited for all the new products that will replace them. I've a horrible feeling that the Bamboo Beauty Stamp Set won’t make the cut as it’s coming up on two years old. So that was the set I chose for today’s simple caring card project. EASY ... VIEW POST
Delicate Inspiration
As we quickly approach the announcement of which products will be retiring I’m keeping a close eye on items showing ‘low inventory’. That’s because there’s a real chance once the current stock has gone there will be no more. One pack of Designer Series Paper (DSP) that’s not at risk (yet) is the Delicate Desert 12” x 12” paper. I bought it even though the Desert Details Stamp Set and coordinating dies didn’t appeal to me. I haven’t been disappointed by this paper which inspired me to create ... VIEW POST
Simple Shapes
So it happened. Overnight someone stole an hour and I’m now playing catch-up. Thankfully my #simplestamping project was already made but I still had the blog post to write. I shouldn’t complain as I much prefer the lighter evenings we’ll now have in Nova Scotia. However it would have been nice if ‘summer time’ brought with it summer weather, but I suppose that will come eventually. For now though I’ll stay in and continue to create one last project using stamp sets I think may retire soon, like ... VIEW POST
Starry Sky
Yesterday’s gift tag was a fun exploration of a new die set, but all those little pieces for the floral decoration were quite fiddly. So for today’s card I decided it might be a good idea to keep things much simpler. In the Enjoy The Journey 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack I’d noticed a beautiful starry sky scene and kept being drawn back to it. This would be the coordinating feature for my project, all I needed was the Hope & Prayer Stamp Set and some ribbon. STARRY ... VIEW POST
Delicate Layers
If you’ve been making cards for years like me you’ll know nothing is really new. While I do try different ideas and techniques many of the trends go in cycles. I’ve also found that, at least in my studio, I revisit the same card layouts. One that I don’t think I’ve used in a while invokes the power of three. Three matted layers, three colours, three embellishments, and today, even three words in the sympathy sentiment. It all started with the Delicate Desert 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper ... VIEW POST
