Today’s the day to get free shipping on your Stampin’ Up! order. Reaching the minimum $100CAD requirement wasn’t hard for me as I have an extensive wish-list. Recently I've started keeping track of the things I wish I had when designing a project. For instance while making this sweet elephant gift tag I wanted more ribbon and twine to choose from. So while it was on my mind I pulled out the catalogues and added some to my order. Now I just have to wait patiently for them to arrive. SWEET ... VIEW POST
Texture Chic Surprise
Did you know that in 206 days it will be Christmas? That's almost 30 weeks I hear you say. True, but think about how many cards you’ll want to send, and divide that by 30. That’s what you’ll need to make this week, and every week until Christmas. Of course the cards are actually sent ahead of time, which means we don’t have 30 weeks at all. So when I came across the snowflake pattern in the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper pack, I knew what I had to do. SEASONAL TEXTURE CHIC I have to ... VIEW POST
Artfully Painted Background
Despite all the cards I have to hand, occasionally I still have to create one in a hurry. This was one of those times. All I needed was a gender-neutral ‘support’ kind of card but I needed it right away. My fall-back is often Stampin’ Up’s Designer Series Paper (DSP) packs. The DSP is almost always double-sided so I get twice the options. Eventually, with an abstract painted background from the Hues of Happiness pack and a bold sentiment from the Artfully Layered Stamp Set, this card was the ... VIEW POST
Simple Shades Of Gray
I love experimenting with colour. I often get inspiration from things I see around me, especially clothing and furnishings. Sometimes I’ll be out shopping and suddenly something catches my eye. If you’re close you’ll be able to see me grab my notebook and write down the ‘Stampin’ Up! colours' I see. I might even take a photo as a back-up. Other times I’ve no idea where my colour choices originate. Take today for instance, when I decided to use just Basic Gray and Gray Granite on this poppy gift ... VIEW POST
Sneak Peek Recap And More!
At last it’s here! After lots of anticipation the Stampin’ Up! 2022/2023 Annual Catalogue is now live for customers. It’s been fun playing with the products I was able to get during the Demonstrator pre-order period. However starting today I now have the whole catalogue to choose from, and it’s hard to decide what to get first. I’ll probably order a couple of stamp sets, some stand-alone dies and maybe some more paper. But while I wrestle with that dilemma, here’s a quick recap of my recent ... VIEW POST
An Adventure With He’s All That
From wildly colourful to something more subdued today. This sneak peek project was the first thing I wanted to make with the new He’s All That Stamp Set. I love this “every day with you is another adventure” sentiment, as I can see so many potential uses for it. The stamp set coordinates with the He’s the Man Designer Series Paper I showcased on Monday’s blog. There’s also coordinating All That Dies and new Rustic Metallic Self-Adhesive Dots that I’ll show you in a few days. But first the ... VIEW POST
