Poinsettia Petals Aren’t Really Petals

September 21, 2021 Leave a Comment

Did you know that the red petals on a poinsettia aren't really petals at all? They're a special type of leaf called bracts which respond to changing light levels. This causes them to change from green to red (or shades of pink or white) as the plant matures. The true flowers on a poinsettia are the teeny tiny yellow things found in the very middle of the bracts. Of course this doesn't make them any more impressive, but it did influence how I designed today's gift tag project. TAILOR ... VIEW POST

Merry Melody For A Musical Background

July 30, 2021 Leave a Comment

So far in my sneak peeks of new products we've had beautiful paper, a couple of stamp sets and some dies. Today I wanted to show you the amazing Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder. I don't know if it's an excerpt from an actual piece of music, but it still looks great as the background to this Christmas card. MERRY MELODY This project began with the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder. I didn't have any idea what I was going to make, just that I wanted to try out this new product. As it's ... VIEW POST

Poinsettia Flower? Yes And No.

July 17, 2021 Leave a Comment

While I'm waiting for my next order to arrive I'm trying to be good and continue reorganising my craft studio. Yesterday I went through my dies and made sure only the current ones were in my immediate work area. All the retired dies and stamp sets are kept elsewhere in case I want them for personal projects. Anyway, while tidying I came across the Poinsettia Dies and I wasn't totally sure if they retired or not. I was delighted to find that they're still in the 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue ... VIEW POST

Many Messages For Every Occasion

February 8, 2021 Leave a Comment

Well the winter storm is still raging outside and a huge snowdrift means we won't be using the front door anytime soon. Still at least the power stayed on (so far) and I was able to complete my blog post for you. Today I have a vintage inspired card showing off the Rococo Rose Card and ink that will be retired on May 3rd. The sentiment is one of 19 (plus 4 tiny images) in the new Many Messages Stamp Set. I set 'set' but in reality it's just one large stamp. It coordinates with the Messages Die ... VIEW POST

Heat Emboss Instead Of Using Ink

November 30, 2020 2 Comments

This morning's project pretty much went according to plan. As I sat down I knew I wanted to make a Christmas card with a few special touches. So instead of using ink, I opted to emboss all the details on my poinsettia. In fact I ended up using two colours of embossing powder and I love the finished result. CLEAR EMBOSS AND DIE-CUT I began this project with the focal point, the large multi-layered poinsettia. The Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set has three different sizes of image that ... VIEW POST
