Ornate Layers Is Leaving Too

April 9, 2022 Leave a Comment

The list of retiring products that are now completely sold out continues to grow, particularly stamp sets. So today I decided that my project would feature just one retiring item, the Ornate Layers Dies. As the name suggests this set cuts ornate layers for cards and other papercraft projects. Two of the 8 dies cut a decorative pattern into the centre of a layer, while the rest create solid layers with fancy edges. These can then be used by themselves or stacked, which is what I opted to do ... VIEW POST

Ornate Layers For A Decorated Journal

September 7, 2021 Leave a Comment

Usually when I design a decorative cover for a notebook I tend to keep them fairly flat. This is because raised layers or embellishments can get damaged when the notebook's in my bag. Today however I decided to turn this notebook into a journal that can stay at home. So that meant I could pull out the Ornate Layers Dies and make something a bit more elaborate. HARVEST DIES Before getting to the Ornate Layers Dies I needed to start with the floral decoration. So I pulled the ... VIEW POST

Blessed In So Many Different Ways

September 30, 2020 Leave a Comment

I'm tired today. Plus it's grey and overcast outside with the promise of rain later which doesn't help. So I'm grateful that the new doors from my studio are now installed and sealed. This means that in the next day or two I'll be able to settle back into the room to create. I'm lucky that during the renovations I've been able to work from my dining room, but it's not ideal. Mind you it's been a treat looking out of the window with a view of the bay. It's quite different from the woods and ... VIEW POST

Drama With Itty Bitty Greetings

September 22, 2020 Leave a Comment

As I sit down to write this blog post we are awaiting the arrival of Hurricane Teddy. With torrential rain and high winds in the forecast there's a good chance that we'll lose power at some point. So with that in mind I created this dramatic gift tag using the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set. GOLDEN GREETINGS I began by cutting a 2-1/2" x 3-3/4" piece of Basic Black Card for the tag base. Then using the Detailed Trio Punch I added an oval hole at the top. Next I cut a 1/2" x 2-1/2" ... VIEW POST

Ornate Layers Becomes A Tag Base

May 29, 2020 Leave a Comment

Right now my to do list is looking more like a novel and I'm determined to make a real dent in it today. So I decided today's project would be a very quick gift tag using the Ornate Layers Dies as my starting off point. SIMPLE SPONGED BACKGROUND Before I could get to the Ornate Layers Dies I first needed to create the background for my tag. SoI took a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Thick Very Vanilla Card and then chose my ink colours. In the end I selected Granny Apple Green, Crushed Curry ... VIEW POST

Can’t Print A Photo Without Ink

May 10, 2020 Leave a Comment

It's Sunday, Mother's Day here in Canada and I woke up knowing exactly what I was going to make. It was all going fine right up until I remembered I needed to print off a photo of myself with my daughter and granddaughter. It was only then I realised that I hadn't yet received my delivery of printer ink. So while I can show you my project, you'll have to imagine the photo in place. PHOTO MAT This photo frame project was really quick to put together. I started with a piece of Thick ... VIEW POST
