Sailing Off Into The Sunset

March 30, 2022 Leave a Comment

Oh my goodness what a morning I’ve had! I mentioned yesterday that lots of the products being retired by Stampin’ Up! are selling out, and it’s playing havoc with my blog plans. I don’t think I’ve ever seen stamp sets sell out the way they have been, despite the fact they they’re generally not discounted. However, at the time of writing, the Sailing Home Stamp Set, Smooth Sailing Dies and the three other retiring products used on today’s project are still available. But for how much longer is ...

New Horizons For Sailing Home

January 24, 2022 Leave a Comment

When the Sailing Home Stamp Set and Smooth Sailing Dies first came out they were accompanied by a coordinating paper pack. Sadly, although the stamps and dies carried over, the paper was retired. So I was excited to see the amazing New Horizons 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP). This pack contains 48 sheets (12 double-sided designs) that have been hand-painted by the talented artists at Stampin' Up! As I'd hoped, there were backgrounds that were suitable for a sailing theme, and I simply ... VIEW POST

Sailing Home On A Simple Sunday

November 21, 2021 Leave a Comment

Today is going to be one of 'those' days. I have a stack of things I want to get done and only a limited time to do them in. Add to that our forecast is talking about an 'atmospheric river' that's expected to drop 4" (100+mm) of rain tomorrow and Tuesday. This means that with the high winds that will accompany the rain it's possible we'll lose power, at least for time. So today's project has to be a quick one and I reached for the very apt Sailing Home Stamp Set. SAILING HOME I began ... VIEW POST

Sailing And Sweaters Are Made For Each Other

September 6, 2021 4 Comments

Happy Labour Day! I had a bit of a lie-in this morning but I wasn't idle. I was actually thinking about what I should make for today's blog. I'd decided that it's been too long since I took part in a design challenge and so my project was inspired by the Just Add Ink Colour Challenge #570. The colours I had to use were Night of Navy, Coastal Cabana and White. I could also add black, vanilla or metallics. The blue combination made me think of sailing, and I already had half an idea in my ... VIEW POST

Sailing Away On An Alcohol Ink Background

July 21, 2021 2 Comments

Over the past couple of days I've been playing in my craft studio with no particular project in mind. Instead I've been experimenting with different background techniques. Now I have a small collection of prepared backgrounds that I can use on future projects. Among other things I finally tried out the Stampin' Blends alcohol technique on Vellum Cardstock. I have to say I wasn't disappointed by the results and I decided to turn a blue version into a seascape. With the addition of the ... VIEW POST

Searching For My Inner Artist

July 5, 2020 Leave a Comment

For the past few months I have been working on a very exciting Stampin' Up! project. I'm not ready to tell you anything about it just yet, but one of the unexpected benefits is that I've been spending more time thinking about papercrafting in general. Recently it occurred to me that when I sit down to craft I generally have an end product in mind. It might be a card, a tag, a bookmark, a box or something else 'useful'. But I began to wonder what would happen if I just sat down to create for ... VIEW POST
