Merry Christmas to all my friends, family, customers, and everyone else who has taken time out of their day to support me and my business this past year. xx For information about about how to create the holly decoration and sentiment used on this card see my earlier blog post More holly table decor using Poinsettia Dies. ...

Pine Cone Paper Used At Last

December 24, 2020 Leave a Comment

I've been looking through the Stampin' Up! inventory and was pleased to see a lot of retiring products are still available. So that meant I could pull out the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper (DSP) for today's card project. As I sorted through the various scraps of paper I had left I realised that one design in particular needed no cutting. It seems that at some point I'd planned to use the pine cone pattern for a card but never did. Today would be the day the pine cone paper finally ... VIEW POST

Texture Makes A Tag Extra Special

December 9, 2020 Leave a Comment

With a little over two weeks until Christmas it's time to get wrapping. Of course that means more gift tags. When I first started papercrafting I tended to concentrate on cards, probably just like most people. But then I discovered the pleasure of designing and making gift tags. Today's tag is quite simple in its design, but the added texture really makes it special. The Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folder, patterned paper and ribbon are all retiring, so only available while stocks ... VIEW POST

More Holly Table Decor Using Poinsettia Dies

November 19, 2020 Leave a Comment

November is over halfway through and Christmas is approaching fast and it's time to think again about table decor. A couple of weeks ago I decorated a candle, today I have a coordinating holly leaf napkin ring idea. I'm showing you this now so you'll have time to collect the key components... EAT THE TOMATO PASTE! Before you start thinking I'm combining tomato paste and card, let me explain. I've discovered that the tomato paste cans are the perfect size for napkin rings. The ones I ...

Layering A Sentiment In Reverse

November 12, 2020 Leave a Comment

When I first began cardmaking I really didn't understand layers. Why would someone use more product than they needed to create a card? It took a while for me to realise that sometimes adding layers makes the card more interesting. That doesn't mean that simple one-layer cards can't be beautiful, but it's nice to have other options. Normally when I think of layers I think in terms of 'adding', for example layering DSP onto a slightly larger card mat. Or adding a sentiment onto a background ... VIEW POST

Decorating A Candle For The Holidays

October 30, 2020 Leave a Comment

One of the fun things about this time of year is the abundance of 'holidays'. While I don't really do Halloween, I love to decorate for autumn, Christmas and then winter. Often that includes a candle centrepiece and I've been experimenting with different ideas. Here's one featuring velveteen holly leaves. CANDLE COLLAR Today's project began with a plain white pillar candle roughly 2-3/4" across and about 2-1/4" to where the top starts to taper in. First I needed to wrap the candle ... VIEW POST
