Simple card with lone pine tree and 'To thank you for all you do' sentiment from the Rooted In Nature Stamp Set and coordinating Nature's Roots Dies from Stampin' Up!

Pine Tree Simplicity

April 10, 2019 2 Comments

As we're only days away from seeing the full Retiring List I've been sorting through some of the products that I know will definitely go. Designer Series Paper (DSP) is one of these. In amongst the Nature's Poem DSP I found some wood effect paper I'd completely forgotten about. So that lead me to the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set and this simple pine tree thank you card. SIMPLE BASE I began with a simple base of Thick Very Vanilla Card cut and scored using my retiring Stampin' Trimmer. ... VIEW POST

Strong & Beautiful (and unstoppable)

One of the problems with greetings cards is, what happens to them after the occasion has ended? I mean, you can only keep a birthday card on display for so long, no matter how nice it is. That's why sometimes what starts out as a card ends up being something else entirely. Like this decorated notepad with an altered sentiment from the Strong & Beautiful Stamp Set. SIMPLE START I began this project very simply with a 5" x 8" notepad and a piece from the Nature's Poem 12" x 12" ... VIEW POST

Mixing Paper Products

November 24, 2018 Leave a Comment

One of the things I love about Stampin' Up! products is the way everything coordinates.  It makes it so easy to create lovely projects with the minimum of fuss.  That was important during my personal World Card Making Challenge last month as I tried to design and make 24 different cards in 24 hours.  Today's project is the last of those using layers of different paper products for a celebration card.   A SIMPLE START I began this project very simply with a piece of Thick Whisper ...

Hand Coloured Designer Series Paper

October 9, 2018 2 Comments

When you've set yourself a personal challenge to design and make 24 different cards in 24 hours, you'll do anything.  For the fourth card in the series I fell back on a technique I tried some months ago.  This time I decided to create hand coloured Designer Series Paper in autumn colours. HAND COLOURED DESIGNER SERIES PAPER In the past, Stampin' Up! have sold paper that was designed to be coloured, but that's not what I used.  My Designer Series Paper (DSP) actually comes from the Nature's ...

'Thinking of you' card with a lone pine tree, featuring images from the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Lone Pine Tree – Thinking of You

August 10, 2018 2 Comments

Just recently a couple of friends have both lost close members of their family.  Sympathy card are hard to make but I know first hand how comforting it is to receive them.  When preparing to make today's card I automatically reached for the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set and specifically the lone pine tree image.  By itself, this tree could be seen as quite sad, but I prefer to look at it as something that has weathered the storms, and still stands strong.  It's forever shaped by what has happened ...

Scrappy days

July 22, 2018 Leave a Comment

Every now and then I like to have what I call a 'scrappy day'.  On a scrappy day I make a conscious effort to use scraps on my projects.  This might be card from my card scraps tin, short pieces of ribbon or trim from my ribbon box.  Sometimes it's pieces that have been stamped, punched or die-cut during a previous crafting session but never actually used. Today is one of those days and so for my simple Sunday project I created this thank you card. CARD FRONT AND BACKGROUND I started ... VIEW POST
