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
Gnomes Got Me Thinking
You know it’s really funny the things I think about when I’m crafting. Take this morning for instance. I decided I wanted to use the new Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set that I recently ordered from the July to December Mini Catalogue. I was attracted to this stamp set as soon as I saw it, and the fact that it had coordinating dies didn’t hurt either. But as I reached for the stamps I wondered about whether there were girl gnomes as well as boy gnomes. And suddenly there she was... KINDEST ... VIEW POST
IDEAS Blog Hop: Go To Greetings
Greetings! It’s the first Monday of the month and time for another IDEAS blog hop where this month our theme is “color me happy”. When crafting, all colours make me happy, especially when Stampin’ Up! produces coordinating card, ink etc in all of their 50 colours. So for my Tutorial Bundle projects I decided to use pairs of colours from the Regals and Subtles families and the Go To Greetings Stamp Set. Meanwhile for my blog followers I used the same stamp set to create a “Thinking of you” ... VIEW POST
Another Adventure With Campology
So the new annual catalogue launch went smoothly yesterday with no major issues reported. It was a busy time for me, tinged with sadness as I put away the retired catalogue. It’s like saying goodbye to an old friend. On the plus side I’ve always found that new products bring added options for the ones carrying over. This became immediately obvious to me yesterday as I combined an old (but still available) favourite, Campology, with the new He’s All That Stamp Set, and two new die sets for good ... VIEW POST
