Today's the day! At 4pm Atlantic Time Stampin' Up! will reveal the list of products being retired from the 2020/2021 Annual Catalogue. Anything on that list will then only be available while stocks last. Traditionally retiring InColor products will be the first to go. They're rarely, if ever, reduced in price, but even so some years InColor inks and card has sold out within hours. So if you already have the retiring InColor ink pads make sure you have an ink refill for each one. If you're ... VIEW POST

Simple technique for a different paper look
Today's project is very simple really. Take a box, wrap it in pretty paper and add a sentiment. Nothing special about that you might think. Well no, except when you add a simple technique for altering the paper it takes on a whole new look... DRAWER BOX MAGIC I began by making up the drawer-style box which wasn't difficult at all. It's one of the new Love Always Treat Boxes from Stampin' Up! They come in two parts; the drawer and the sleeve, and assemble without any cutting or ... VIEW POST
Many Messages So Choose What You Want
There's less than a week left to take advantage of Sale-A-Bration and get free products. I think of all the free products offered, my favourite has to be the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper (DSP). I love the bold flowers and bright colours that seem so cheerful, and I know I'm not alone. But what I haven't seen a lot of are projects featuring the patterns on the reverse. These make great backgrounds and are a nice change from the florals. So today I decided to remedy that with ... VIEW POST
Fishing For Another Fun Tag Idea
Today's fun fishing-themed "just for you" tag comes courtesy of a customer's comment. I made a card a couple of days ago featuring an umbrella where the handle was punched from silver foil sheet.

Well later that day I was playing with the Whale Of A Time Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. and as they say, the rest is history... SEA ... VIEW POST
Way To Goat With The Scraps
Today was another one of those morning were I had just a vague idea of what I wanted to make. Quite simply I wanted a birthday gift tag using an older, but still available stamp set. Recently I've been having fun with Darling Donkeys, Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick, so another animal set appealed. I reached for Way To Goat, and with a surprising variety of scraps ended up with this fun tag. SO MANY SCRAPS After choosing my image from the Way To Goat Stamp Set I began looking for ... VIEW POST
Many Messages For Every Occasion
Well the winter storm is still raging outside and a huge snowdrift means we won't be using the front door anytime soon. Still at least the power stayed on (so far) and I was able to complete my blog post for you. Today I have a vintage inspired card showing off the Rococo Rose Card and ink that will be retired on May 3rd. The sentiment is one of 19 (plus 4 tiny images) in the new Many Messages Stamp Set. I set 'set' but in reality it's just one large stamp. It coordinates with the Messages Die ... VIEW POST
