Sun Prints Is Such A Treat

May 19, 2022 Leave a Comment

Today is going to be a good day. The sun is shining and there’s a gentle breeze to help the washing dry. More important though is that my order from the Stampin’ Up! 2022/2023 Annual Catalogue is being delivered today. With that in mind I plan to get the chores done early and clear my afternoon so I can play for a few hours. But first, here’s a little treat package / table favour created using the Sun Prints 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Pretty Pillowbox Dies. SUN PRINTS ... VIEW POST

Pretty Pillowbox For Spring

February 16, 2022 Leave a Comment

Today the weather is bright and sunny, but frigid. I'm not a cold weather person so winter can’t be over soon enough for me. I feel like a toddler constantly asking "Is it spring yet?" and being repeatedly disappointed. While I wait I've decided it can be spring in my craft studio and hopefully that will keep me going. So this morning I pulled out the Pretty Pillowbox Dies (carried over from the July to December 2021 Mini Catalogue) and decided it was definitely time for the daisies to ... VIEW POST

Never A Lovely Scrap Wasted

January 19, 2022 Leave a Comment

I'm a bit of a frugal papercrafter. I'm one of those people who struggle to throw anything away just in case it could be useful. Thankfully I also don't like having stuff everywhere so that curtails my hoarding somewhat. My Mum used to say "A place for everything, and everything in its place". That means having a system for storing and/or using up the lovely little pieces I created but never actually used. Today's project is a case in point, a leftover die-cut flower quickly became a pretty ... VIEW POST

Pillowbox For Valentine’s & Weddings

January 10, 2022 Leave a Comment

If you're a regular follower of my blog you may remember a Christmas favour I created using the Pretty Pillow Box Dies. I was very late to the party with these dies and have been kicking myself for not getting them sooner. My Christmas pillowbox featured a simple poinsettia embellishment using just dies from the set. Today however I decided to create a treat / favour box for Valentine's day or a wedding. For the heart embellishments I needed to grab some dies from a second set, Give It A ... VIEW POST

Pillow Box Favour With A Christmas Motif

December 17, 2021 Leave a Comment

Oh my goodness, sometimes I wonder why I don't just go with my gut instinct when it comes to ordering from Stampin' Up! When the July to December 2021 Mini Catalogue came out the first thing on my wish list was the Pretty Pillow Box Dies. Somehow though it didn't make it onto my first order, nor my second. As time wore on my interest seemed to wane. Then last month I placed an order and with some Demonstrator benefits to spend I decided it was now or never. Why had I waited so long! Since ...

Pretty Pillow Box Dies For Something Else

December 15, 2021 Leave a Comment

When the list of products retiring from a Stampin' Up! catalogue first comes out I am naturally drawn to it. I hate to see favourite products leave, but it's necessary to make way for new ones. But in that period between old products leaving and new ones arriving I still have fun. That's when I take a closer look at the products from a retiring catalogue that are carrying over. This time I was drawn back to the Pretty Pillow Box Dies. They've been on my wish list ever since I first saw them ... VIEW POST
