Right now we're in the middle of a terrific thunderstorm and watching the lightning website it really is all around us. So today's blog post is going to be a quick one. Fortunately the project I have for you is super simple. It all hinges on the large floral image from the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set. SIMPLE GET WELL CARD First though I chose my colour scheme and for what I had in mind black and white was perfect. I began by using my Paper Trimmer to cut and score a piece of Basic ... VIEW POST
Hand-Penned Petals Called To Me Again
Since I've not had access to my craft room for a while I've been a bit limited in what I have available for my designs. It's a valid excuse, but I'll admit it's not the whole truth. You see I have a feeling that I'd probably keep going back to the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set regardless. I've simply fallen in love with the images and just keep getting more and more ideas. So I hope you'll allow me to indulge myself once again with this pretty thank you card. COLOURS FIRST While I ... VIEW POST
The Hand-Penned Suite Has It All
Have you seen the 2021-2023 In Colors from Stampin' Up!? This is a collection of five new colours added to the Stampin' Up! range for a limited time (2 years). I have to say that this year's new colours have really inspired me, almost to the point of obsession. Right now my absolute favourite of the five has to be Pale Papaya. It's a soft apricot that just seems to go well with everything. Today my hit of Pale Papaya comes in the form of a pretty polka dot pattern from the Hand-Penned ... VIEW POST
Penned Flowers Dies For Paper Piecing Fun

Over the past couple of weeks I've shown you some new coordinating stamp sets, dies and paper, and today it's the turn of the Penned Flowers Dies. TILED BACKGROUND Before getting to the Penned Flowers Dies though, I first needed to create the card base and simple layers. Using my Paper Trimmer ... VIEW POST
Pink And Grey Work Well Together
One of the things I like most about the introduction of new In Colors is the chance to play with colour combinations. One of my favourites is pink and grey, in both dark and light shades. So when I saw the new Polished Pink colour in the 2021-2023 InColors it was a combination I definitely wanted to try. It also gave me another opportunity to break out other new products from the Stampin' Up! 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue. PAPER PIECES My project actually began with the Pansy Petals 12" ... 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.
