Nature’s Inspiration

July 23, 2023 Leave a Comment

Did you know I try to only use currently available products when making projects for my blog? That’s because I know how frustrating it is to fall in love with a product only to find I can’t actually get it for myself. So the other day I was checking availability of an Online Exclusive item, but while doing so I was reminded of the Christmas Gifting Kit. I’ve always loved the stag silhouette in that kit and decided to add the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set to create this striking ... VIEW POST

IDEAS Blog Hop: Sun Prints Suite

February 1, 2023 12 Comments

It’s the first Wednesday of the month and that means it’s time for another IDEAS blog hop. This month our theme is “That’s so suite of you”. The entire team have designed projects using not just coordinating stamps and dies (or punch), but other coordinating items too. Many of the team picked their favourite product suite from the January to April Mini Catalogue. Me? Well you know I like to be different, so my projects focus on the Sun Prints Suite from pages 90 and 91 of the Annual ... VIEW POST

Pretty Prints Scraps Again

August 28, 2022 2 Comments

Even though I’m designing and making papercraft projects every day things don’t always go according to plan. I can’t tell you how many times a finished project has a poorly stamped image or sentiment on the back of a layer. However I don’t always redo something. For instance, embellishments are a great way to hide smaller ‘accidents’. Today’s tag project ‘do-over’ wasn’t to hide a mistake, just an uneasy feeling that it was somehow ‘unfinished’. Now, more than 10 weeks after starting, I’m ... VIEW POST

Fern Texture Inspired

June 22, 2022 Leave a Comment

Do you ever find yourself looking at a product in the Stampin’ Up! catalogue and being unsure whether or not you like it? I know I do. Take the Fern 3D Embossing Folder, which is part of the Sun Prints suite. I had no hesitation in adding the stamp set, dies and paper to my Demonstrator pre-order but left off that embossing folder. However the more I thought about it, the more I came to realise my mistake. The all-over fern design is amazing, as today’s thank you card shows. 3D FERN ... VIEW POST

Nature’s Prints For Silhouettes

June 20, 2022 Leave a Comment

I love the simple look of silhouettes. There’s something quite magical about a dark shape against a lighter, brighter background. In the past Stampin’ Up! have even created silhouette stamps, but sadly they have long since retired. When I recently bought the Watercolor Shapes Stamp Set I had an idea to use it as a simple background for silhouettes. I just needed the right image to layer on top. Then while making something else using the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set I noticed the solution was right ... VIEW POST

Thanks For The Encouragement

June 4, 2022 Leave a Comment

For many years I’ve been designing cards and other papercraft projects, and sharing them each day. This is no mean feat as, with the occasional post featuring multiple projects, it comes to over 400 different projects in just one year! So I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has taken time out of their busy day to visit my blog, Facebook page, Instagram, YouTube channel etc. I am blessed to be able to connect with so many people from around the world. Today’s project is for you. ... VIEW POST
