Bookworm bookmark created using the Wiggle Worm Stamp Set and Wiggly Bugs Dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

One Final Wiggle Worm Project

May 6, 2020 2 Comments

Well yesterday didn't go according to plan. First I had internet issues again in the morning that meant my blog was delayed. Then I got a call asking me if I could take an extra shift at the pharmacy. I know they wouldn't call unless they really needed me so I abandoned my to do list and worked a late shift. The knock on from that was I finally got to bed late last night, and then our cat Houdini decided I needed a lie-in this morning. I've been playing catch up ever since. Still, ... VIEW POST

Gift tag with "for my friend" sentiment created using the Special Celebrations Stamp Set with Leaf and Medium Daisy Punches, all from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

So Long Special Celebrations

April 26, 2020 Leave a Comment

Today's Simple Sunday project uses quite a few retiring products. I hadn't planned it that way, but sometimes it's just what happens. I chose the Special Celebrations Stamp Set for a sentiment, and by the time my tag was done I'd used a retiring paper, card, twine, punch and embellishment too! THREE PUNCHES Before I did anything else I wanted to first make my tag base. I cut two 2" x 4-1/4" strips, one from Whisper White Card and the other from the retiring Mosaic Mood Specialty ...

Masculine / gender neutral card with "You're stronger than most" sentiment and leaf image from the Beautiful Promenade Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Bye Bye Beautiful Promenade

April 25, 2020 Leave a Comment

Yesterday I started going through my stamp sets to pull out those that are being retired. As usual there were some that I haven't used in ages and probably won't miss very much. There are others that I love and will stay in my collection forever. Then there's the third category, sets I haven't used in a while but can't understand why. Today's stamp set, Beautiful Promenade definitely falls into the third category. While it's got a number of floral images, it's the triple leaf image that ... VIEW POST

Elegant bookmark with "All days are beautiful that begin with you" sentiment from the Floral Essence Stamp Set and Perennial Essence DSP paper from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

The Essence of Creativity?

April 24, 2020 Leave a Comment

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Today's project is not what I set out to make. I started with an idea for a card, using the retiring Beautiful You Stamp Set. I chose the image of the lady with an umbrella. Then I chose the sentiment "Wishing you brighter days to come". Then I went looking for some paper to link with the "bright" part of the sentiment. Having looked through a number of packs I once again veered towards the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper (DSP). The very ... VIEW POST

"Our sincere condolences" card created using the Kindness & Compassion Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Showing Kindness and Compassion

April 22, 2020 Leave a Comment

After the events of the weekend I have been touched by the kindness and compassion shown by complete strangers. This is what makes us human. It was inevitable I suppose that I'd want to make condolences cards. This is the first, using the aptly named Kindness & Compassion Stamp Set. SOFT BACKGROUND I began my project by choosing the background design. This is a piece from the Perennial Essence 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. Using my Paper Trimmer I cut four ...

Yesterday Tragedy Touched My World

April 20, 2020 6 Comments

Yesterday morning as I sat down to write my blog I said it was an "interesting" morning. On the instructions of the RCMP we were locked in our home and keeping an eye out for strangers on our property. All we knew at the time was that there was an "active shooter" situation 3kms down the road. Living in a rural community we're used to hearing the odd gunshot during hunting season. This however was something entirely different. Little did we know that as the day progressed the eyes of the ... VIEW POST
