Simple floral friend card created using the Strong & Beautiful Stamp Set and Ornate Garden paper from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Strong & Beautiful Grandbabies

March 11, 2021 8 Comments

So yesterday for the first time in a number of years I didn't publish my daily blog post. But I have a good excuse. Last week our daughter had twin girls by emergency c-section. Alexis was the first to arrive at 4lb 11oz, with little sister Florence following 10 seconds later at 4lb 1oz. Despite being born at just 34-1/2 weeks both the girls were strong enough to avoid needing special care. Instead they spent a week with Mummy on the transitional ward before finally being able to go home. ... VIEW POST

A Double Dose Of Congratulations

March 5, 2021 6 Comments

The secret is out. In the early hours of March 3rd, our daughter gave birth to twin girls by emergency C-section. Thankfully, despite being born at just over 34 weeks, Alexis (4lb 10oz) and Florence (4lb 1oz) are healthy and did not need to go into special care. CoVID restrictions in the UK mean that big sister Alyssa has not yet been able to meet them in person, so video chats are a lifeline. We've been chatting constantly and keeping up-to-date with the daily news. Congratulations to the ... VIEW POST

"Good news... bad news..." belated birthday card created using the free Approaching Perfection Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Bad News For Approaching Perfection

January 31, 2021 Leave a Comment

After two days of projects using Stampin' Blends, I wanted to create something less time-consuming. That's not to say it's not colourful, because it is. But for today's simple Sunday project all the colour comes from the gorgeous Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). For my sentiments I chose the Approaching Perfection Stamp Set. It was only afterwards that I realised it was a free Sale-A-Bration set. The bad news is that this means you only have one more month to get ... VIEW POST

Simple three layer mother-friend card created using the Strong & Beautiful Stamp Set and Ornate Garden paper from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Simple Three Layer Card Idea

August 18, 2020 2 Comments

Well yesterday was a complete write off as I wasn't feeling great and spent the whole day curled up on the sofa with a book. Today I'm better, although still not 100% so I'm planning to take it easy again. I still have a project for you though. It's a simple three layer card that needs no special tools or techniques. STRONG & BEAUTIFUL I began with the very top layer of my project. I chose a sentiment from the Strong & Beautiful Stamp Set and using Early Espresso ink, stamped ... VIEW POST

Envelope Envy No Longer Applies

July 28, 2020 Leave a Comment

A few years ago Stampin' Up! had a set of dies called Envelope Liners Framelits that created liners for their envelopes (no surprise there). If you were following me back then you'll know it was one of my favourite die sets and I was crushed it retired. So imagine my delight when I opened up the new August to December 2020 Mini Catalogue and found Envelopes Dies. This new catalogue goes live to customers one week from today and I had to start my sneak peek week with these new ... VIEW POST

Olive And Cinnamon Branches

July 24, 2020 Leave a Comment

After yesterday's marathon paper piecing session I resolved to make today's project much more quickly. It's the 24th, which means another month has passed since I suggested you make a start on your Christmas crafting. Sadly I didn't take my own advice and now it's now only five months away and I've done very little. So today I thought I'd make an effort using the Peaceful Boughs Stamp Set and coordinating Beautiful Boughs Dies. These appeared in last year's Holiday Catalogue and were carried ... VIEW POST
