Simple Shades Of Gray

May 9, 2022 Leave a Comment

I love experimenting with colour. I often get inspiration from things I see around me, especially clothing and furnishings. Sometimes I’ll be out shopping and suddenly something catches my eye. If you’re close you’ll be able to see me grab my notebook and write down the ‘Stampin’ Up! colours' I see. I might even take a photo as a back-up. Other times I’ve no idea where my colour choices originate. Take today for instance, when I decided to use just Basic Gray and Gray Granite on this poppy gift ... VIEW POST

Celebrating With Painted Poppies

April 24, 2022 Leave a Comment

Did you know that this month marks 20 years since Stampin’ Up! came to Canada. I was still in the UK then and it would be another 8 years before I moved here and discovered papercrafting. Since becoming an independent demonstrator I’ve had the privilege of writing for Inspiration Canada, the Canadian demonstrators’ monthly newsletter. This month my editor challenged me to design a project using only colours that were available in 2002, So I chose Night of Navy and Real Red and created this ... VIEW POST

California Poppy For A Brighter Monday

August 9, 2021 Leave a Comment

Once again the weekend disappeared and we're faced with another Monday morning. It's not all bad of course, the weather is set to be bright and sunny, and not too humid. I've also noticed that a parcel from Stampin' Up! has made good progress and will be delivered to me a day early. That means I have a stack of chores to get done this morning if I want the whole afternoon to play. So here's a quick card with a California poppy so you can have a bright start your your Monday too. POPPY ... 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

Use An Embossing Folder For Added Interest

February 15, 2020 Leave a Comment

Whenever I get a new stamp set I love to create a whole bunch of projects. Some are simpler than others, and some combine the new stamps with other older (but still available) products in my craft studio. So this is how I ended up with this sweet and simple bookmark, using a favourite embossing folder for extra interest. FIRST CULTIVATE YOUR POPPIES I began my bookmark with a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of Thick Whisper White Card. First I shaped the top of the strip and added the ribbon slot ... VIEW POST

Using Up Some Poppy Pieces

January 13, 2020 4 Comments

At the beginning of the year I created a welcome plaque as my Painted Poppies sneak peek project. I loved the results and I know many of you did too. As so often happens I didn't actually use all the poppy images I painted and as a result I left the unused ones in the stamp case. Then when I opened the stamp set yesterday to create another poppy project I rediscovered the images and as a happy consequence I ended up with this card. POPPY PAPER? With my main images already completed I ... VIEW POST
