If you’ve read my blog over the past few weeks you’ll know that I love the Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) from Stampin’ Up! This pack of 6” x 6” paper has 48 sheets (4 each of 12 double-sided designs). But the best part is that the vast majority of these patterns are not just for Christmas. There’s Christmas trees of course, but also all-occasion bokeh type patterns too (more about that next week). Today however I bring you a birthday card featuring garlands of dots and ... VIEW POST
Very Best Occasions
I’ve made it to Wednesday, and even though I still have a long to-do list I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s bright and sunny out as well which makes me feel I can tackle anything. There’s only two more days until the July to December Mini Catalogue goes live and today’s sneak peek is a new stamp set called Very Best Occasions. It’s a sentiment-only set with clean and elegant fonts, so with two other new products I couldn’t resist creating this card. LIGHTS AGLOW ... VIEW POST
Simply Marbleous Satin Paper
Well yesterday was interesting. Hubby was out with the snowblower for more than 5 hours trying to clear our driveway after the snowstorm. While the wind scrubbed some areas, in others we had snowdrifts up to 5 feet deep. The road was just as bad, making for challenging conditions for the snowplow driver. But with the sunshine revealing the patterns carved in the snow by the wind I was reminded of the free Simply Marbleous 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP). So that's what I wanted to ... VIEW POST
Three Stamp Sets For One Birthday Card
I must apologise for the late arrival of today's blog post. Today is obviously going to be one of those days where things take that much longer to get done. What's frustrating is that my birthday card project was done and photographed yesterday. But I've not been nearly as efficient this morning. In my defence I've had long video chat with my daughter and twin 9-month old grandbabies, and taken the garbage to the end of the drive in the snow. One very enjoyable distraction and the other, ...

Timeless Tulips For A Sympathy Card
At a recent craft fair I was struck by the number of people looking for get well, thinking of you and sympathy cards. Most said that while they hoped never to need to send them, it was something they always kept on hand. That way if they did need to send a card they had one that could go in the mail the same day. So when I was thinking about making a card for today's blog I immediately thought of a sympathy card. Out came the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set and I got to work. BEAUTY OF THE ... VIEW POST
Peaceful Deer Isn’t All Animals
Just recently I received an order containing the Peaceful Deer Stamp Set and coordinating Deer Builder Punch. By adding some adhesive to my order I'd bumped up the total, and earned a free product from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. It made sense to choose the Peaceful Prints 12" x 12" Designer Series paper (DSP) pack as it coordinates with the stamp set. Plus it was free and who wouldn't want free papercrafting stuff? Still, when I got the stamp set it wasn't the deer that excited me, it ... VIEW POST
