One of the things I love about making my own cards is that I can make each one unique and as elaborate as I like. This often means spending a lot of time fussing with different tools and materials. If I'm making a card for a special occasion this is a labour of love and I'll keep going until I'm done. With Christmas however things get tricky. There's so many more cards to make that sometimes the amount of time I have for each one is greatly reduced. I still make some extra special ones, but ... VIEW POST
Rich Colours And Flying Owls
When people think of owls, particularly at this time of year, many often think of Halloween. I suppose they can be quite spooky with their silent flight and subsequent sudden appearance. But for me when I think of owls I'm more likely to think of Hedwig from the Harry Potter series of books. My regular followers will know that I love reading, so I suppose it was only a matter of time before I made an owl-themed bookmark. OWLS IN FLIGHT This project happened by accident as I was ...

Delivering Another Simple Card Idea
When I made today's project using the Delivering Cheer Stamp Set I thought I'd come up with a cute Christmas card. But several days later as I looked at the image of the lady carrying a huge pile of gifts I had another idea. The pile of gifts could actually be for any occasion. With a simple change of sentiment you could have a card for a birthday, baby shower, wedding, anything. So now I've added that to my design ideas list for a future blog post. But first, here's my original Christmas ... VIEW POST
Peaceful Deer Isn’t All Animals
Just recently I received an order containing the Peaceful Deer Stamp Set and coordinating Deer Builder Punch. By adding some adhesive to my order I'd bumped up the total, and earned a free product from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. It made sense to choose the Peaceful Prints 12" x 12" Designer Series paper (DSP) pack as it coordinates with the stamp set. Plus it was free and who wouldn't want free papercrafting stuff? Still, when I got the stamp set it wasn't the deer that excited me, it ... VIEW POST
Classic Treat Boxes For Any Occasion
With Thanksgiving fast approaching, and Halloween and Christmas not far behind, it's time to think of treats and favours. While I'm quite happy to make my own boxes they do take time, so it's nice to have a simpler alternative. At 1-13/16" square, the Simply Classic Treat Boxes are a great option. They're food safe and need no adhesive to assemble. Simply fold in the tabs, fill, and place the brushed gold top over the plain white base. From there you can leave them as they are or add your ...

Delivering Cheer With A Large Bouquet
Have you heard of two-step stamping? Most often it's where you stamp an outline image using one stamp and then fill in with colour or extra detail using a different stamp. Sometimes however the two (or more) involve stamping parts to create a complete image. This is the process used with the Delivering Cheer Stamp Set which comes with a couple of bodies complete with legs and feet. After stamping the body, you then add one of three images featuring hands that are holding a large item so no ... VIEW POST
