Autumn-themed "thinking of you" card created using the Rooted In Nature Stamp Set and Natures Roots Dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Taking My Cue From Mother Nature

September 21, 2020 Leave a Comment

Stampin' Up! really does make it easy to create lovely papercraft projects. What's more there's a continuity that straddles the products so mixing and matching from different catalogues is seamless. Mind you that wasn't exactly what I had in mind today. I just thought it would be nice to create a card with an autumn feel using an older stamp set that's still available. So after picking out the Rooted In Nature Stamp Set and coordinating Nature's Roots Dies I set to work. ROOTED IN ... VIEW POST

A Busy Thanksgiving Weekend

October 12, 2019 2 Comments

It's Thanksgiving on Monday here in Canada and we're enjoying a long weekend. It's going to be a busy one, starting with the local Fire Department's annual auction. Every year I'm amazed by how much is donated for the sale and the amount of money raised. What's more, I love seeing things going to new homes rather than landfill. Reuse, repurpose, recycle. Thanksgiving weekend is also when the local craft bazaars where I sell many of my cards and projects close for the season. Not that ... VIEW POST

Autumn Colours And Textures

September 14, 2019 2 Comments

Ooh it was chilly this morning! Autumn is definitely in the air and the garden is starting to show it. I have a feeling my casserole recipe book is about to make it to the top of the pile. I do love autumn though, there's something about the colours and textures that never fail to inspire me. Today I decided to decorate a mini pizza box with a sweet sunflower as my focal point. Although I knew I wanted a yellow sunflower on my box, I began by looking at the Come To Gather 12" x 12" ... VIEW POST

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

Rooted In Nature Christmas Trees

October 4, 2018 2 Comments

Don't you just love it when you can get more out of your crafting tools.  When buying  stamp sets I try to think about how they might be used in different ways, for example as Christmas trees.  Rooted in Nature was one that appealed to me for a number of reasons.  The images can be used for masculine and feminine projects, and they vary in scale.  They also compliment other stamp sets that I have, like Lovely As A Tree (and now Winter Woods too). Of course one of the challenges is remembering ... VIEW POST

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 ...
