Winter Snow Won’t Last For Long

December 10, 2020 Leave a Comment

Two weeks today will be Christmas Eve and a week later the last day of 2020. So I suppose I shouldn't be too upset that winter appears to have arrived. As I sat down to make today's project the snow was gently falling outside. Not a lot, but enough to leave a dusting on the ground. I think it's due to warm up a little so it's unlikely to stay for long. Later in the week? well that might be a whole different ballgame. With the snow outside I decided today's project should be a Christmas ... VIEW POST

Thinking About Seasonal Paper

November 20, 2020 2 Comments

One of the hazards of buying patterned paper in packs is thinking of the pack as a whole. For instance a pack of Christmas-themed paper gets overlooked when making a non-Christmas project. I always try to see past the obvious and make a mental note of designs that could work at other times. Take the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (DSP). Snowflakes are seasonal, not just for Christmas, so today I used one of the sheets to make a thinking of you card. CALMING SNOWFLAKES The ... VIEW POST

Create A Rosette Ornament From Pretty Paper

November 13, 2020 Leave a Comment

Our winter to summer to winter roller-coaster continues here in Nova Scotia. Right now it's just a little above freezing, a far cry from the 20 degrees C of a couple of days ago. So is it any wonder that I was thinking 'Christmas' this morning. Today I have a 'two-for-one' type project. Is it a rosette ornament or is it a gift tag? Perhaps it's both... ROSETTE IN EASY STEPS I love making these rosette decorations using strips of Designer Series Paper (DSP). This one is about 3-1/4" ... VIEW POST

Snowflake Wishes For A Winter Frame

November 5, 2020 Leave a Comment

Today's project was another one that kind of just 'happened'. I sat down knowing I didn't want to make a card, but wasn't sure what to make instead. In the end it was a sentiment in the Snowflake Wishes Stamp Set that inspired me. SNOWFLAKE BACKGROUND With the sentiment in my head I began by looking for a background for my project. It made total sense to start with the Snowflake Splendor 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. There are so many lovely designs but in the end I ... VIEW POST

Candy Canes And Snowflakes

November 1, 2020 Leave a Comment

So what happened was... the clocks went back which meant there was an extra hour in bed. Except I obviously needed more. Much more. So after I'd finally got up and showered I sat down to create a quick candy cane holder for today's simple Sunday project. CANDY CANE HOLDER This hanging candy cane holder really is quick and easy to make. I began with a 2" x 10-1/4" strip of paper from the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. This would be perfect for my 1/2" x 4" candy ... VIEW POST

Silhouette Scenes For Simple Stamping

October 31, 2020 Leave a Comment

I'm a sucker for a silhouette. I adore the simplicity of these images while somehow still showing so much detail. I also love it when I can 'cheat' with a background scene. So this project, created at the beginning of the month for World Cardmaking Day, was a match made in heaven. SILHOUETTE COUPLE I began my project with this image of a couple in the rain from the Silhouette Scenes Stamp Set. The key to a good silhouette is making the image really dark, it doesn't have to be black, ... VIEW POST
