This humorous white Christmas card was created for wine drinkers using the Half Full Stamp Set and Santa's Workshop DSP from Stampin' Up!

Half Full Humour

November 9, 2018 4 Comments

My regular blog readers will know that I can sometimes have a quirky sense of humour.  I’ve also been known to ‘see’ things in my Stampin’ Up! supplies that others may miss.  So I simply couldn’t help myself when I saw the snowmen in the Santa’s Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack.  With a little help from the Half Full Stamp Set and my Paper Snips I soon had one of my favourite Christmas card designs so far this year. PREPARING THE SCENE I began with a piece of Night of ... VIEW POST

The finished 'Merry Christmas' pop-up card designed and made by Alyssa (aged almost 8) using products from the Santa's Workshop suite from Stampin' Up!

Merry Christmas Pop-Up Card

October 24, 2018 2 Comments

Yesterday I had a fun couple of hours in my craft studio with a very special guest, my granddaughter Alyssa.  She'll be 8 next month and it was such fun to watch her design and create her own pop-up Christmas card. Let me say from the outset that this card was all her idea.  She's been playing with the "pop-up" process at home and wanted to show me how to do it.  All I did was show her how to put the pop-up layer inside another card to hide the mechanism.  Then, apart from some very minor ...

The elves are bringing in the presents on this quick and easy Christmas card using Santa's Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper from Stampin Up!

Elves On Parade

October 21, 2018 4 Comments

Sometimes I spend a lot of time on my projects and there may be fancy techniques or special tools needed.  Sometimes though I just need to make a card as quickly as possible.  Despite a whole slew of elves bringing in the presents, this simple Sunday project was really fast to make. BRING ON THE ELVES I began by cutting and scoring a piece of Poppy Parade Card using my Stampin' Trimmer.  Then I folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder to create the card ...

Z-fold Christmas card with faux wax Santa's seal created using the Signs of Santa Stamp Set and Santa's Signpost Framelits from Stampin' Up!

Official Seal Of The North Pole

October 14, 2018 4 Comments

Even though making 24 different cards in 24 hours was a challenge last weekend, I still found time to experiment.  Today's Z-fold card was the second of the 24 and I love the faux wax seal I created for it. THE BASIC CARD AND ENVELOPE I created the basic Z-fold card base using Thick Very Vanilla Card and my Stampin' Trimmer.  To start I cut the card to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2".  Then with the long side at the top I scored the card at 4-1/4".  Next I flipped the card over so that the other long side ...

Santa’s To Do List

August 29, 2018 Leave a Comment

OK I know it's still August (although not for long), but I couldn't resist today's sneak peek project.  Anyone who knows me knows I love notebooks and making lists.  I've discovered that writing down things and ticking them off when they're done is so satisfying.  This is never more true than in the run up to Christmas when I get really busy with craft fairs.  So when I saw one particular image in the new Signs of Santa Stamp Set, one project immediately came to mind.  I simply had to have ...
