A few weeks ago I was challenged to create a project using layout sketch as my inspiration. This was based on the card in the bottom right-hand corner on page 88 of the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. The original card uses products from the very Christmassy Tidings of Christmas suite so I was determined to make a non-Christmas card. With that in mind I selected the Peekaboo Farm Stamp Set and set to work. It's only now, weeks later, that I'm struck by a certain irony. What could be more ... VIEW POST
Let’s Go Back To Peekaboo Farm
My regular readers will know that I'm a bit obsessed with the Peekaboo Farm Stamp Set. I admit I've found it hard to put down and love all five of the cute farm animals. Over the past few weeks I've deliberately avoided using it, but I could only resist for so long. I eventually gave in and made a really quick card for today's simple Sunday project. From the Peekaboo Farm Stamp set I chose the cow image, plus a Soft Suede ink Pad. To keep things really simple I decided not to use the ... VIEW POST
Peekaboo Horse Makes An Appearance
If you've been following my blog you'll know I love the new Peekaboo Farm Stamp Set. It's full of cute images that are perfect for colouring, but that doesn't mean they can't be left as outlines too. So for today's simple Sunday project using the horse image that's what I set out to do, and I succeeded (almost). HORSE AND BIRD This project really was designed around the horse image and I wanted to make sure he was front and centre on my card. I began by cutting a 4" x 5-1/4" layer ... VIEW POST
Peekaboo Llama For Any Occasion
OK I admit it. I may be slightly obsessed with the Peekaboo Farm Stamp Set. But can you blame me when those animals are so cute? Today I wanted to use the llama image and see how it would work with a paper piecing technique. Suffice to say, it works well and adds a whole new dimension to the wall. PEEKABOO FARM AGAIN Why the llama? Well simply because it's one of the animal images in the Peekaboo Farm Stamp Set that I haven't yet used. Seemed a good enough reason at the time. ... VIEW POST
Two Sides To Hand-Penned Paper
I love purple and I love daisies, so when I saw the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper (DSP) I knew I had to get it. The only problem I have is deciding which side of the paper to use. All the designs are simply gorgeous, so it's a good job there's two of each 12" x 12" double-sided sheets in the pack. Even so, I have a feeling I'll need to order another pack before too long. For today's simple Sunday project I set myself a challenge. How to showcase both sides of the Hand-Penned paper on ... VIEW POST
I’m Visiting Peekaboo Farm Again
It's the start of another busy month and today I'm playing peekaboo with the new Kits Collection from Stampin' Up! The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed that there's no kits in the new Annual Catalogue, and there's a good reason for that. Stampin' Up! wanted to have more flexibility to expand their range of kits, and add to them throughout the year. So to allow customers to see exactly what's available the new Kits Collection will be online only. We're starting with ten kits, and more ... VIEW POST
