Putting Away Stained And Painted Glass

May 14, 2020 Leave a Comment

Once again I'm working through my pile of retiring Stampin' Up! products. Today it's the turn of the Painted Glass Stamp Set and coordinating Stained Glass Dies. I loved the gothic script of the stamp set as soon as I saw it and have used it quite a bit. In addition, the die-cut pieces look great individually, but they're also designed to work together. I will certainly miss them. SIMPLE BLACK AND WHITE This project really came together backwards. Having decided to use the Stained ... VIEW POST

A Quick Boxing Day Sneak Peek

December 26, 2019 Leave a Comment

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Today is Boxing Day and so what else could I bring you on my blog but a box? This Mini Pizza Box is a really quick and easy option for small gifts. Of course there's a little sneak peek thrown in too. BOXING DAY PIZZA? I love these Mini Pizza Boxes from Stampin' Up! they are large enough to hold a set of 3" x 3" cards with envelopes and are about 1" deep. For the top I cut some Grapefruit Grove Card and glued on a piece from the Birthday ... VIEW POST

Stamp A Sentiment On Coloured Card

November 8, 2019 2 Comments

I've no idea why, but it seems that whenever I stamp a sentiment I always reach for Whisper White or Very Vanilla Card. I suppose it's just a habit I've developed over the years. When I was completing my personal World Card Making Day challenge last month I tried to make the 24 cards quite different. And so it was that I ended up stamping my sentiment on coloured card. I have to say I loved the resulting project. I began this project with the unique sponged background which I created on ... VIEW POST

Beautiful Painted Glass

August 10, 2019 3 Comments

So today was another one of those days where I planned to make one thing and ended up with something else. My plan included birds, using the Free As A Bird Stamp Set and Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper (DSP). It all started out OK with me choosing the paper that I'd use for the background and envelope flap. Next I went looking for a birthday sentiment and found the perfect one in the Painted Glass Stamp Set. But then my design took an entirely different direction as you can ... VIEW POST

Mosaic DSP Inspires a Tag

July 18, 2019 4 Comments

Today's project had a very vague beginning, I wanted to make a large gift tag. So with just that in my mind I started to look through my packs of Designer Series Paper (DSP) for a background. I often find that just looking at a DSP design will spark an idea, even if that paper never actually gets used. Today though, in the Mosaic Mood Specialty DSP I found a scrap that quite literally became the base for everything else I did this morning. MOSAIC TAG BASE The scrap of Mosaic Mood ... VIEW POST

Faux Stained Glass

March 6, 2019 Leave a Comment

A little while ago I showed you a gift tag with a sparkling fish created using the Catch of The Day Stamp Set. That tag required the use of a Stamparatus stamp positioning platform and StazOn Jet Black ink. So today I wanted to show you another way to get that faux stained glass effect. STAINED GLASS THINLITS For this tag I decided to use the Stained Glass Thinlits to give me the thick black outline for my faux stained glass. First I fixed some Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet to some ... VIEW POST
