Create this ragged striped birthday card using the Celebrate With Tags Stamp Set, Something Fancy Dies and Enjoy The Journey paper from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Celebrate A Different Angle

March 2, 2023 2 Comments

Do you have trouble seeing obvious things in other ways? I know I do. For instance I often find that when I know what something is supposed to be I have a hard time accepting it as anything else. Patterned paper is a particular problem, especially with “scene’ type designs. For this reason I always celebrate when my brain manages to see ‘outside the box’. Like this morning when I pulled a sheet of ‘trees’ from a pack, but they were sideways and suddenly all I saw was ragged stripes. ENJOY ... VIEW POST

It’s almost time to say goodbye to the 2023 Sale-A-Bration promotion but I’m really not sad. Now I’m looking forward to the full range of Online Exclusive products being released tomorrow. Some will only be around while stocks last, and some will be available for longer with additional orders being planned. Of the items I purchased in advance my favourite without doubt is the Basics 3D Embossing Folders pack. So for my final sneak peek project I simply had to show you the last of the three ...

Create this card with "my love for you is bigger than the ocean" sentiment using the Whale Done Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Whale Hello Again

February 25, 2023 Leave a Comment

Once upon a time I had patterned paper that paired beautifully with a number of sea-themed stamp sets. Sadly the paper retired and as a result my interest in the stamp sets waned. But I’ve come to realise that crafting is a circle of trends, ideas and inspiration. So when I opened up the new Hello, Irresistible 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (DSP) I was inspired to revisit the Whale Done Stamp Set. The announcement from Stampin’ Up! that the Pretty Peacock colour is returning soon didn’t hurt ... VIEW POST

Owls Leaving the Nest Soon

February 22, 2023 Leave a Comment

Well we’ve made it to the middle of the week. Even though it’s been a busy one so far, I’ve managed to keep on top of everything. Now with the end of the month quickly approaching I wanted to remind you that Sale-A-Bration ends soon. In fact, by this time next week it will all be over. Even though I didn’t love all the free items, there was enough to keep me happy. So today I wanted to give the Adorable Owls Stamp Set one last outing, before it’s gone for good. LAST OF 3 OWLS The ... VIEW POST

Another Timeless Idea

February 18, 2023 Leave a Comment

So yesterday’s storm wasn’t quite as bad as we’d expected. Rain, then freezing rain, followed by tiny ice pellets and finally some snow. Today the forecast is for sun, but the temperature will remain below freezing. In my mind that means Mother Nature wants me to stay indoors, so I’ve decided to spend the day crafting. I have a number of Kits Collection kits I want to explore more, like Timeless Greetings. While I could create projects following the included instructions, it’s fun to experiment ... VIEW POST

Create this masculine car lover's birthday card using the He's All That Stamp Set and Stylish Shapes Dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Stylish Classic Car

February 17, 2023 2 Comments

Yesterday was glorious with temperatures in the double digits and wall-to-wall sunshine. Last week’s snow melted away, and we finally had a little spring sneak peek. Today however is a different day, and as this is Nova Scotia winter hasn’t finished with us quite yet. Today’s forecast includes six hours of ice pellets and freezing rain. That won’t be fun, as thick ice coating the trees and power lines has the potential to knock out the power. So while I finish preparations for that, here’s a ... VIEW POST
