Easter Basket With Natural Textures

April 17, 2022 Leave a Comment

Happy Easter everyone, and thank you for choosing to spend a few minutes with me today. As a crafter I often find myself drawn to things made by other people, and not just with card and paper. As well as the finished product, I also enjoy watching the making process. Sometimes a design will resonate with me and I decide to try my hand at something similar without actually following specific instructions. That’s how I ended up making today’s Easter basket and using the retiring Host stamp set, ... VIEW POST

Create this "Easter Blessings" card using the Daffodil Daydream Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #simplestamping #papercraftwithme

Daffodil Daydream Is On The Way

December 28, 2021 Leave a Comment

Did you see yesterday's five star kick off to my January to June Mini Catalogue sneak peeks? Today's project is a simple card using another new stamp set. Daffodil Daydream is simply gorgeous and perfect for spring crafting. There are two main daffodil images, a butterfly, a decorative border, and a fine splatter image. The "Easter blessings" and "Happy Mother's Day" sentiments are quite specific and not everyone will need, these but that's just two stamps out of the set. Oh, and did I ... VIEW POST

"Peace on earth Goodwill toward men" card created using the Angels of Peace Stamp Set and Peaceful Place paper from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Angels Of Peace Simply Designed

October 21, 2021 Leave a Comment

There's something about the Angels of Peace Stamp Set that keeps me going back for more. The two angels are simple line drawings that work well coloured or just left as they are. Plus the sentiments are so pretty, and some of them can be used outside of the Christmas season too. So far I've found that creating projects using the Angels of Peace Stamp Set has been a quick process. This was a an important consideration during my recent World Card Making Day "24 cards in 24 hours" challenge. ... VIEW POST

Positive News For Discounted Stamp Sets!

October 19, 2021 Leave a Comment

When looking through the Stampin' Up® catalogues I always tend to buy the stamp set & tool bundles I want first. That's because the bundles are discounted by 10% so it's a great way to get more for my crafting budget. Of course I mix and match my stamps, dies and punches so bundles give me lots of design flexibility too. Stand-alone stamp sets tend to come further down my wish list as far as ordering goes. So I was delighted to see that tomorrow Stampin' Up! is offering almost all cling ... VIEW POST

Finding My Own Peaceful Place

September 5, 2021 Leave a Comment

When life gets tough or particularly stressful I turn to books. Finding a place to sit quietly and read is my way to switch off and allow my mind and body to find a moment of peace. Afterwards I sometimes realise that this huge issue wasn't such a big deal after all. Sometimes it still is, but that break has recharged me so I can face it head on. Taking time for reflection or escape though books is the reason that I love bookmarks. Since I've started counting I've made almost four ... VIEW POST

A Paper Pumpkin Thing – Hope Box

September 2, 2021 2 Comments

Today I'm taking part in the monthly A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop. This month it's all about the August kit called Hope Box. JUST HOPE For my first project I wanted to create something that was pretty clean and simple. The result was this "Hope" card. I began with the pink splattered card base and 12" of the gorgeous Blackberry Bliss 1" ribbon from the kit. I wrapped the ribbon around the card front and secured the ends on the front in the centre using Tear & Tape ... VIEW POST
