One of the great things about a colour refresh is the opportunity to rediscover neglected stamp sets. This week I thought it would be fun to pull out the Pansy Patch Stamp Set and coordinating Pansy Dies. I chose two of the four 2023-2025 In Colors and one of the new core colours which I thought would work particularly well together. While I was at it I also thought it was well past time I pulled out my neglected Sponge Daubers too. This pretty happiness card was the final result. SIMPLE ... VIEW POST
Pansy Petals And Pretty Gingham
With only another five days to go before we see the retiring list I’m continuing to rediscover products I haven’t used in a while. Today I pulled out the Pansy Petals suite but didn’t quite manage to use it all. You see when I opened up the Pansy Dies, out fell a bag of pieces cut from the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper (DSP). But they hadn’t been fussy cut, I’d actually used the dies to do that. So from there today’s pretty sticky note pad came together really quickly. PANSY PETALS ... VIEW POST
Relieved To Be Home At Long Last
Back at the beginning of March I made a transatlantic dash to be with my daughter who'd given birth to twins at 34-1/2 weeks by emergency c-section. Thankfully due to swift action by the medical staff at Wexham Park Hospital Mum and babies made it through without any complications. Since then I've been in the UK spending valuable time with the twins, their amazing big sister Alyssa, my daughter and son in law. Now after jumping through a great many hoops I've finally made it home ... VIEW POST
When Is A Pansy Not A Pansy
I must say that I love pansies. For someone who's a lazy gardener I'm delighted when a pansy self-seeds and saves me the trouble of planting new flowers. What's more they come back every year in my little area of Canada which is a huge bonus. But indoors I've been wondering whether there's more to the Pansy Petals suite from Stampin' Up! So I started experimenting. Today's project is perfect if you're looking for something a little more tropical. PANSY PIECES Yes that really is a ... VIEW POST
Scalloped Kraft Treat Boxes Are An Easy Option
While I don't mind making my own boxes and have posted videos on my YouTube channel showing different styles, I quite like that Stampin' Up! gives us some instant box options. In the January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue there's the drawer-style Love You Always Treat Boxes. Sadly this box is being retired and now only available while stocks last. But we don't lose one box without gaining another, and that's what I have for you today. In the 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue one of the new packaging ... VIEW POST
Stampin’ Up! 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue Is Now Live
After just over a week of sneak peeks the Stampin' Up! 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue is now live for customers. There's now a link to the new catalogue in the column on the right so you can download the PDF. Or there's the French Canadian version of the catalogue if you'd prefer that instead. I've also spent the past few hours adding all the individual links to the new products in my recent sneak peek blog posts. So today I'm simply going to recap all the projects so you can see them here ... VIEW POST
