Woo hoo, UPS finally came yesterday and delivered my Snowflake Showcase products. This limited edition suite can be pre-ordered by Demonstrators this month, and will be available to customers in November, but only while stocks last. In the suite there are two stamp sets Snow is Glistening and Happiness Surrounds, each with 14 photopolymer stamps. Then there's the coordinating 20 piece Snowfall Thinlits Dies. Finally there's a pack of 20 silver metal snowflakes with a rhinestone centre (10 ... VIEW POST
Timeless Tidings and beautiful moments
Can you believe it's the end of August already! I swear that time must have speeded up because that's two-thirds of the year gone in a flash. Of course there is a good side to racing into September, and that's the Stampin' Up! 2018 Holiday Catalogue. It goes live for customers on September 5th and for today's sneak peek I bring you Timeless Tidings. THE BASE AND BACKGROUND The base for my project is a piece of Thick Whisper White Card cut and scored using my Stampin' Trimmer. I folded ... VIEW POST
Feathers & Frost (and a wreath)
Most of the time I can see why a set is named the way it is, but not today. Today my Stampin' Up! 2018 Holiday Catalogue sneak peek uses the Feathers & Frost Stamp Set. In the set there's a couple of birds with feathers, but no frost, not even a mention in a sentiment. Of course that didn't stop me buying this gorgeous 13 piece photopolymer stamp set. There's two birds facing opposite directions, a large square wreath/branches image and 4 smaller images. The line art images are great ... VIEW POST
Little things like textured weave
I don't tend to use a whole lot of ribbon on my projects. But when I do it has to be something that I love.

It has a wonderfully interesting texture in Poppy Parade and Whisper White. The white edging is obvious, but look closely and you'll see a subtle difference between the two sides. On one side it seems the body of the ... VIEW POST
Peaceful Poinsettia Flag Day
Papercrafting is such fun, but it's not only about greetings cards. I make bookmarks, tags and gift packaging, and decorate notebooks and other items. I also use my Stampin' Up! supplies and tools to make decorative pieces for the home too. Today couldn't resist making this poinsettia flag decoration using some stunning new products from the 2018 Holiday Catalogue. STRONG BASE I began by preparing the base, a raw wooden flag shape purchased ages ago at Michaels for under a dollar. It's ... VIEW POST
Tin Tile – Retro Design
Today I'm continuing my Stampin' Up! 2018 Holiday Catalogue sneak peeks with a really simple project. I've chosen to showcase the new Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder because it's simply gorgeous. The 6" x 6" embossing folder looks just like those retro ceilings that seem to be back in fashion. There's an amazing amount of detail in the design, and it looks good on foil and card. The tiled layout was perfect for the Less Is More challenge 378 (Sketch 24) and this was ... VIEW POST
