Usually when I sit down to make a new project I begin with dies or a stamp set that inspires me. However today was quite different as all I had in my mind was a colour, Pale Papaya. This is one of the Stampin’ Up! 2021-2023 In Colors that are due to be retired at the end of April. So with the colour in my head I went looking for something to use it on. That’s when I rediscovered the pretty Cottage Rose Stamp Set and coordinating Cottage Flowers Dies. DELICATE COTTAGE ROSE I began with ... VIEW POST
Penguin Playtime
Lots of things to do, so I’m thankful today is Sunday and that means a simple project. I was actually a little cold when I woke up this morning and although the day will warm up, winter is on my mind. So when I sat down at my craft table the Penguin Place Stamp Set inevitably popped into my head. This is a two-step stamp set which means the various pieces can be combined to create lots of different scenes. With a little Saran Wrap technique, this was the result. PENGUIN PLACE PIECES I ...

Another Happy Hedgehog
Today’s quick project was another of those happy accidents. I was looking to create something using products that I’ve neglected for while but were still available from Stampin’ Up! As I picked up the Happy Hedgehogs Stamp Set I could hear something loose in the case. And there when I opened it was a hedgehog image already stamped onto Sahara Sand Card in Early Espresso ink. Also there was a separate prickly hedgehog back stamped onto Crumb Cake Card with Early Espresso ink. All I needed was a ... VIEW POST
Welcome New Bundle
Yesterday was an exciting day as I unpacked my latest customer orders. It’s always really interesting to see what other people are getting, and to inspect the products up close. I have to say that sometimes my own orders have been influenced by what my customers get. This parcel was especially welcome though because it also included a brand new bundle for me from the January to June 2023 Mini Catalogue. This will be one of the bundles used in Stampin’ Up!’s World Card Making Day event on October ... VIEW POST
Hand Penned Flowers Again
After creating yesterday’s decorated box project I did something that I rarely do, I walked away from my workspace without put everything away. It’s not a difficult or time-consuming task as everything has a place, but I was running late for an appointment and it was a minute I just didn’t have. Of course that meant when I sat down to create today’s card project I had to clear the desk first. However before putting away the pretty Hand Penned Petals Stamp Set I couldn’t resist getting it inky ... VIEW POST
Sun Prints In Grey
It’s warm, the sun is shining and my to do list is full of fun stuff. It’s going to be a great day. One of my ‘tasks’ is to go through some prints that my daughter took and sent to me recently. All are of her family, but it was a black and white photo that immediately caught my eye. I’d seen this picture of my twin granddaughters when she first took it last year. Today my plan was to use it on a scrapbook page for my family album. SUN PRINTS BACKGROUND My initial idea was to use a ... VIEW POST
