Simple bookmark with sunset silhouette scene created using the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Creating A Simple Sunset Scene

April 9, 2020 Leave a Comment

My regular readers will know that I see in Stampin' Up! colours. As I'm going about my daily life I notice colour combinations and these often turn up in my projects. Sometime over the past week or two I saw a colour combination and made a note of it. Sadly I forgot to record the exact circumstances. However when I put the colours together on some card a sunset emerged. Then with a few extra touches I created today's project. SUNSET BACKGROUND I created this sunset background using ... VIEW POST

Enjoying The Sun And Flowers

April 5, 2020 Leave a Comment

Today we finally have blue skies and sunshine, the first in quite a while it seems. I can't tell you how nice it is, even if the temperature's still a little chilly. Many of the birds are back and it's fun watching them from where I'm working. Sadly there's still no flowers blooming in the garden, so for those I had to look closer to me. I have so many choices in my craft studio, but today decided on the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper. Then in no time at all I had my simple ... VIEW POST

In Love With Soft Sponged Blossoms

March 2, 2020 Leave a Comment

Recently I've been playing with different ways to colour stamped images. I've watercoloured using both ink and pencils, and I've used Stampin' Blends and Stampin' Write Markers. Today I wanted to bring you something different, and less formal. Sponged images. As usual I decided to test this technique on a smaller piece, and here's the bookmark I created. BASIC PREPARATION I began with a 2" x 5-1/2" piece of Thick Very Vanilla Card shaped at the top using the Scalloped Tag Topper ... VIEW POST

A Paper Pumpkin Thing – Lovely Day

February 27, 2020 Leave a Comment

It's the last Thursday of the month and time for another A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop. The February kit "Lovely Day" was so hard to put down with a box full of gorgeous stamps and kit pieces. After making one of each of the three designs using the instructions, I couldn't wait to play... CELEBRATE WITH A LOVELY DAY My first alternate project using the Lovely Day kit is a striking but simple card. I began by using my Paper Trimmer to cut and score some Rococo Rose Card. Then I ...

Textured poppy field bookmark created using the Painted Poppies Stamp Set and Subtle Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Use An Embossing Folder For Added Interest

February 15, 2020 Leave a Comment

Whenever I get a new stamp set I love to create a whole bunch of projects. Some are simpler than others, and some combine the new stamps with other older (but still available) products in my craft studio. So this is how I ended up with this sweet and simple bookmark, using a favourite embossing folder for extra interest. FIRST CULTIVATE YOUR POPPIES I began my bookmark with a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of Thick Whisper White Card. First I shaped the top of the strip and added the ribbon slot ... VIEW POST

Summer Scene In The Middle Of Winter

February 9, 2020 Leave a Comment

The snow flurries continued to fly yesterday and I decided to spend the day indoors. I still have a number of new stamp sets to try out so it wasn't as if I needed any persuading. For today's Simple Sunday project I wanted to get away, to a warmer, sunnier place. So I pulled out the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set and set to work creating a quick summer scene. FIRST THINGS FIRST Before I could begin stamping I first needed to prepare my bookmark base from Thick Very Vanilla Card. So I ... VIEW POST
