Chic With Golden Accents

July 22, 2022 Leave a Comment

Today is going to be a little sad as Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators in Canada say goodbye to Dale Hampshire. He’s been at the helm of Stampin’ Up! Canada since it first started 20 years ago, and has been the most amazing manager. To mark the occasion I created a special card using the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set. “It’s your time to be remembered, to feel appreciated, and to know you’re celebrated”. Happy retirement Dale, your wit and wisdom will ... VIEW POST

Retirement Day Is Here

March 23, 2022 Leave a Comment

Anyone else excited by retirement? Today's the day that we find out which Stampin' Up! products are being discontinued. However we must wait just a little longer as the Retiring List won't be revealed until 4pm Atlantic (1pm MT). At the same time, Stampin' Up! Demonstrators will get their first look at the new 2022/2023 Annual Catalogue. Something that definitely won’t be in the new catalogue are the 2020/22 In Colors. So before they’re completely sold out here’s one final card project using all ... VIEW POST

"It's hard to say goodbye" sympathy or retirement card created using the Wonderful As You Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Wonderful As You For Retirement or Sympathy

April 18, 2021 Leave a Comment

Many people find it hard to make sympathy cards and I used to be one of them. But over the past year or so I realised that for me the solution lies in keeping everything simple. So that means elegant, often neutral backgrounds, with minimal embellishments or layers. The sentiment is really the focal point, and for today's card I found what I needed in the Wonderful As You Stamp Set. WELL SUITED BACKGROUND I began the project by choosing the background paper. In fact I found two that ... VIEW POST

Velveteen Paper May Be Retired

March 18, 2021 Leave a Comment

It's less than a week before Stampin' Up! announces which products will be retiring from the 2020/2021 Annual Catalogue. I try not to get to hung up about it as it means there's new products coming. Still, I have a few personal predictions and today's project features one of those, Color Velveteen Paper. The Color Velveteen Paper has a beautifully soft textured surface and it cuts just like ordinary card. I love it, but I haven't seen a whole lot of projects using it so that's why I suspect ...

Retirement Brings A New Adventure

May 15, 2020 Leave a Comment

Today's project has it all. A retiring stamp set, a video showing a couple of techniques, and a new take on a continuing stamp set. At the end there's also a sneak peek from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue that goes live on June 3rd. It all started because I wanted to make one last card using the retiring On To Adventure Stamp Set... OFF CAMERA PREPARATIONS In order to keep my video fairly short I decided to do a few things off camera first. Using my Paper Trimmer I cut some Thick ... VIEW POST
