Create this masculine birthday card using the Celebrate With Tags Stamp Set and Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Metal Plate Texture

September 14, 2023 Leave a Comment

One of the lessons I’ve learned over the years with my card designs is to mix it up. Some of my projects are really simple and require no special tools or techniques. However today’s birthday card doesn’t fall into that category. Instead I combined patterned paper, dies and embellishments. I also took a plain Very Vanilla top layer and added tons of interest using the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder. The result is a layout that could be adapted for many different occasions, simply change out the ... VIEW POST

Metal Plate

And still it rains! An abundance of water and warm temperatures has us in a cycle of foggy mornings and humid days. It’s great to see the plants flourishing, but it would be nice to be able to enjoy the garden from the other side of the window! Meanwhile it’s the perfect excuse for me to stay in and craft. Today’s project is a gender-neutral card with texture courtesy of the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder. However using the ‘debossed’ side gives a 'fish scale' look to this simple ... VIEW POST

Missing Dies And More

April 24, 2023 Leave a Comment

Whenever there’s a new catalogue I go through my old one and write against each item whether it’s retiring or carrying over (R or c/o). Then I double check any products that have neither marking. So that’s how I discovered 12 items that are not in the new catalogue or on the Last Chance List. My feeling is that they’ll join others in the new ‘Online Exclusives’ section of the website, but we’ll only know for sure on May 2nd. The Mini Pocket Envelope Dies is one of those products. DIES FOR ... 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

Cottage Rose Revisited

February 9, 2023 Leave a Comment

Usually when I sit down to make a new project I begin with dies or a stamp set that inspires me. However today was quite different as all I had in my mind was a colour, Pale Papaya. This is one of the Stampin’ Up! 2021-2023 In Colors that are due to be retired at the end of April. So with the colour in my head I went looking for something to use it on. That’s when I rediscovered the pretty Cottage Rose Stamp Set and coordinating Cottage Flowers Dies. DELICATE COTTAGE ROSE I began with ... VIEW POST

Timeless Planner

Well yesterday’s forecast snow arrived and is lying thick on the ground. I thought it would have stopped by now but as I look outside I can see it’s started up again. I have to admit it’s very pretty, and eerily quiet as the snow seems to muffle every sound. Perhaps it’s the perfect day to stay in and get organised. So here’s a decorated diary idea to get you started, easily created with the help of the Timeless Greetings (card) kit and the new Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder. TIMELESS ... VIEW POST
