Yesterday I was very excited to receive a parcel from Stampin’ Up! In it were some new products for local customers, but there was also stuff for me. This time I’d ordered some new ink pad and card colours, plus some pretty new ribbons. But what I really wanted to play with were the new stamp sets, dies and punch. Construction Zone was one stamp set, and I’d bought it with the idea of making children’s birthday cards. However instead of a birthday card, this was the card I eventually ... VIEW POST
Petal Park Puzzled
I’m a big fan of stamp sets that coordinate with punches or dies, simply because they provide so many more possibilities for my creative process. But that doesn’t mean the stamp set or tool can’t be used by itself too. In fact some of my most enjoyable crafting sessions are when I’m exploring how to use just one half of a coordinating set. Today for instance I wanted to see whether the Petal Park triple flower stamp (designed for the Petal Park Builder Punch) fitted within the large multi-leaf ... VIEW POST
Wonderful Memories
Happy Canadian Mother’s Day. Thirty seven years ago today I became a mother for the first time with the birth of my son. Then a few years later I was blessed with a daughter. Sadly my son passed away at the age of 31 following complications stemming from Type 1 diabetes he developed in his early twenties. One of the things about losing someone you love is realising that there’ll never be any new photos. For that reason I cherish every one I do have, and think a physical album is a wonderful ...

By My Side Once More
It’s the weekend. Yay! Despite having lots to do I’m looking forward to being productive at home. I’ve made my list and it’s here at the side of my computer to remind me what I want to achieve. As well as some decluttering and reorganising in my craft studio, I’ve allowed myself time to ‘play’ as I want to revisit some older, but still available, stamp sets and dies before my new catalogue order arrives next week. So today’s "thinking of you card" features the By My Side Stamp Set. BLENDS ... VIEW POST
Boho Blue
When I first saw the complete colour refresh of the Stampin’ Up! range I wasn’t convinced I needed more blues. We already had lots to choose from, even after Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point were retired. But then I actually got my hands on them and I was pleasantly surprised. Boho Blue (one of the 2023-2025 In Colors) is a gorgeous mid-range dusky blue and fills a gap I didn’t even know existed. So for today’s simple Sunday project I decided to use it to create this thank you card. BOHO BLUE ... VIEW POST
Can You Bear To Read?
Today, May 6th 2023 I shall be crafting with one eye on the television as I watch the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. Like the funeral of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II this is history in the making. I must say it’s weird when I read about a historical event and realise I watched it happen live! Of course I know not everyone is interested in today’s events, but possibly the only way to avoid them is to turn off all your electronic devices and do something else instead. So with ... VIEW POST
