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
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
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
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!

So before they’re completely sold out here’s one final card project using all ... VIEW POST
Caught Up In The Moment
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 ... VIEW POST
Bragworthy Meets Beautiful Moments
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 ... VIEW POST
