Oh how quickly the weather changes. These past few mornings have started out quite foggy and there’s a definite chill in the air. Autumn is just around the corner, but I’m not ready to give warmer temperatures just yet. Likewise, as summer draws to a close so does Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-A-Bration promotion. However you still have until Wednesday to earn free exclusive products with a qualifying order. So today I decided my project should feature the Wonderful World Designer Series Paper available ...

Gnome Dies Discovery
I love knowing that Stampin’ Up! produces dies to coordinate with a particular stamp set. The only problem is that I often get tunnel vision and forget to check out the extra dies that are included in the set. By that I mean the ones that don’t coordinate with a stamped image. So I’ve been on a mission to discover (or rediscover) some of these gems. This morning it was the turn of the Gnome Dies. But as well as making the cute gnome, there was an extra special surprise... EASY GNOME ... VIEW POST
No Hippo Today
In my blog post yesterday I pointed out that there are acorn and oak leaf dies in the Fond of Autumn Dies, and that these pair beautifully with the Nuts About Squirrels Stamp Set. Today I have another of these coordination surprises to show you. This time while making a birthday card using the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (DSP) I thought the flowers looked familiar. So I went on a little hunt. Eventually I found dies that matched the flowers in an unexpected place, the Hippo Dies ... VIEW POST
Wonderful Customers
Did you know that you don’t have to live close to me to select me as your Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator? So long as you live in Canada I can be that person. While I love meeting my wonderful customers that’s not always possible. So it does make me a little sad when a customer places an order but chooses “no contact”. This means I can’t even send them a “thank you”. It happened again last week, and I made this card hoping they’ll see it here. Thank you so much! GO TO GREETINGS As this project ... VIEW POST
Hippos On Film
When I like a stamp set I always check to see if there’s a coordinating set of dies, especially if they’re offered in a discounted bundle. But when I saw the Blossoming Happiness Dies I knew I’d get them regardless. The draw for me was the two edge dies. One adds a line of small circles in the style of a spiral bound page. The other has a series of small slots like a comb bound page. Today’s project uses that second die to create a filmstrip featuring cute hippos. FILMSTRIP ACTION I ... VIEW POST
Summer Meadow
It’s going to be another one of those hot and humid days. With a heat warning in place I’ve just closed up all the windows and drawn the curtains. That should keep the house relatively cool as the temperature begins to climb. Later, once it starts to cool again and the onshore breeze picks up, I’ll open up the house again. In the meantime I shall be mostly crafting. Today’s project was inspired by the pretty butterflies I saw while mowing a path through our flower meadow at the ... VIEW POST
