Create this masculine birthday card using the Bird's Eye View and Go To Greetings Stamp Sets with the Stripes 3D Embossing Folder all from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Textured Stripes

June 22, 2023 Leave a Comment

When I sat down to make today’s masculine birthday card I really had no idea what I was going to do. So I began with my box of A2 card bases that I cut, score and fold in advance to save time. Since having a week where almost all my projects were blue I’ve been consciously avoiding that colour. So instead I selected three random shades of brown; Early Espresso, Pecan Pie and Cajun Craze. What a great combination! The decision to add the embossed stripes came about much later. SHADES OF ... VIEW POST

Back In The Moment

June 18, 2023 4 Comments

Happy Father’s Day and welcome to another simple Sunday here on my Papercraft With Me website. This is when I create a card or other paper project that can be made without any difficult techniques, or specialist equipment like a die-cutting machine or heat tool. Today‘s card uses the In The Moment Stamp Set. I love this image of someone sitting in a window with a mug in their hand, looking out at something we can’t see. To keep things interesting I stamped and cut the clothes from patterned ... VIEW POST

Back In The Pansy Patch

May 27, 2023 Leave a Comment

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

Retirement Day Is Here

March 23, 2022 Leave a Comment

Anyone else excited by retirement? Today's the day that we find out which Stampin' Up! products are being discontinued. However we must wait just a little longer as the Retiring List won't be revealed until 4pm Atlantic (1pm MT). At the same time, Stampin' Up! Demonstrators will get their first look at the new 2022/2023 Annual Catalogue. Something that definitely won’t be in the new catalogue are the 2020/22 In Colors. So before they’re completely sold out here’s one final card project using all ... VIEW POST

Caught Up In The Moment

March 16, 2022 Leave a Comment

I’ve always been enthralled by nature, and even more so since moving to Nova Scotia.  We’re very fortunate to have a large piece of land that attracts all sorts of wildlife.  Just recently we’ve been treated to daily visits from a number of white tailed deer and today was no exception.  Although I counted 10 deer eating at various spots, what caught my attention was something just off to the side, two small fawns hidden in the long grass.  At that moment I couldn’t help but simply stand and ...

Bragworthy Meets Beautiful Moments

February 17, 2022 Leave a Comment

While it’s the images that often draw me to a new stamp set, I love fun sentiments.  In the Stampin’ Up! 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue it was Lighthearted Lines that caught my eye. So when their new Mini Catalogue was revealed I wondered if there would be something similar.  Bragworthy was exactly what I was hoping for and I’ve already made a few projects using this set.  Today though I finally got around to the sentiment that gave the stamp set its name, and all it took was a ...
