As predicted, the winter storm that started on Friday evening continued for most of yesterday. The power went out Friday night and wasn't restored until 8.45pm on Saturday. So there was nothing for it but to hunker down inside and ride it out. During the daylight hours I managed to do a little crafting and re-organising while hubby worked on getting power from our new generator into the house. Today there's not a cloud in the sky and the sun is showing off the ridges carved into the snow by ... VIEW POST
Sentimental Swirls For Any Occasion
Sometimes the simplest of ideas take time to bring together. Take this morning for instance. I woke up knowing that I was going to use the new Sentimental Swirls Stamp Set to create a background for a card. But then I thought I'd add embellishments by stamping flower and leaf images from the set and punching them out with the coordinating punches. But when I chose my sentiment from the free Special Moments (Sale-A-Bration Host) Stamp Set all that went out the window. The end result was ... VIEW POST
Honeybee Home For #SimpleStamping
Ooh it's nippy out! After the snowstorm a couple of days ago it's pretty, but cold. Winter has hardly begun but I'm already counting down the days until spring. I'm looking forward to warmer weather and the return of colour and critters to our yard. For now though I’ll have to content myself by creating spring-like projects in my craft studio. For today's simple Sunday project I was drawn to the Honeybee Home Stamp Set. Designing this card was really easy with the coordinating Heart & ... VIEW POST
Simple Stamping with Friendly Hello
So after yesterday's fun easel calendar, today's simple Sunday sneak peek project is a quick and easy card. This one uses two products available for free during the Sale-A-Bration promotion which starts on January 4th. I say two, but actually it's a single bundle. So choose this and you'll get the Friendly Hello Stamp Set and coordinating Friendly Hello 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP). I love the 13 piece photopolymer stamp set. But what really drew me in was the DSP pack with its ... VIEW POST
Oceanfront For A Quick And Easy Card
One of the things I love about stamping is how easy it is to create beautiful projects without having to be an artist. Over the past few years Stampin' Up! has produced a number of stamp sets that are known as 'builder' sets. That is you can use the various stamps to build a scene. The new January to June Mini Catalogue has another one of these sets, it's called Oceanfront and it's amazing. It's an image only set so you can add a favourite sentiment without feeling guilty. Today I paired it ... VIEW POST
Happy Hedgehogs For All Occasions
Today's blog post will be a pretty quick one, but I still have a new product sneak peek for you. This time it's the Happy Hedgehogs Stamp Set. This 9 piece photopolymer stamp set has 7 images that can be combined to make simple scenes. There's also two sentiments to add to your projects. What's particularly exciting about this set is that one of the two hedgehog images coordinates with the new Hedgehog Builder Punch. I have a lot of ideas for using both products, but first I just combined ... VIEW POST
