Today's Simple Sunday project uses quite a few retiring products. I hadn't planned it that way, but sometimes it's just what happens. I chose the Special Celebrations Stamp Set for a sentiment, and by the time my tag was done I'd used a retiring paper, card, twine, punch and embellishment too! THREE PUNCHES Before I did anything else I wanted to first make my tag base. I cut two 2" x 4-1/4" strips, one from Whisper White Card and the other from the retiring Mosaic Mood Specialty ...

You’re Part Of A Bigger Mosaic Picture
While you're sitting at home, frustrated at the new norm that is social distancing, remember you are still playing an important role in the fight against COVID19. By staying away from others outside your household you are slowing the spread of the virus. Even though sometimes it may not feel that way, you are making a difference. You are also helping to minimise the strain on our essential services. You may be one small piece of this mosaic but without your contribution nothing else makes ... VIEW POST
Punch Happy Morning
I've no idea where this morning went. I've been up since before 6 but somehow the day has taken on a life of its own. My project today is a basic gift card holder with simple Balloon Bouquet Punch embellishments. BASIC GIFT CARD HOLDER With the retirement of the Envelope Punch Board last May, this is my new gift card holder shape. It's a simple pouch made from a 3" x 7" piece of card or Designer Series Paper (DSP). In fact, if you have a pretty notecard you can even make one using ... VIEW POST
Mosaic DSP Inspires a Tag
Today's project had a very vague beginning, I wanted to make a large gift tag. So with just that in my mind I started to look through my packs of Designer Series Paper (DSP) for a background. I often find that just looking at a DSP design will spark an idea, even if that paper never actually gets used. Today though, in the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP I found a scrap that quite literally became the base for everything else I did this morning. MOSAIC TAG BASE The scrap of Mosaic Mood ... VIEW POST
Crafting with Re-purpose
Do you have a hard time throwing things away because you might find a use for them in your crafting? This happens to me more often than I care to admit. So today I decided to finally re-purpose one of the very sturdy boxes that originally contained a module for the new Storage by Stampin' Up!® range. In fact to be more specific, the box contained a set of 5 trays for my Stampin' Blends. ONE BIG BOX TO RE-PURPOSE This box is 6" wide by 6" high by 5" deep. It's also very sturdy which ... VIEW POST
Mosaic Mood And Geared Up Garage
Today's What Will You Stamp? Challenge is #WWYS220 - Geared Up Garage. This stamp set is in the 2019 Occasions Catalogue and I was so happy when I it had been carried over into the new catalogue. Also carried over was the coordinating Garage Gears Dies and Classic Garage Metal Elements (silver wrenches / spanners and keys). Sadly though, the Designer Series Paper and black and silver ribbon didn't make the cut. So when I was thinking about my WWYS Design Team project for this week I ... VIEW POST
