Cutting Dies At Up To 75% Off!

April 13, 2021 Leave a Comment

Once again I've been surprised by the Retiring List, but this time in a good way. This morning I received notification that Stampin' Up! have updated the Clearance Rack. This is where you'll find products that retired a while ago and are now discounted for final clearance. With this refresh there's a whole bunch of autumn and Christmas themed products, including Designer Series Paper that I know people have been looking for. What's more some of these coordinate with dies and stamp sets that ... VIEW POST

By Special Request For A Special Someone

April 3, 2021 Leave a Comment

While staying in the UK my granddaughter Alyssa is taking much more interest in my blog posts. She's watching me work at the computer and enjoying seeing the projects I have made. She and I have very similar tastes in stamp sets and like me was sad to see the Special Someone Stamp Set is retiring. So at Alyssa's request here's a quick reminder of some of the projects made using images and/or sentiments from this set. First up there's this quick and easy thank you card in basic black and ...

Special Someone For Some Heal-ium

March 15, 2021 2 Comments

Today's project is another from my 2020 World Cardmaking Day personal challenge that I haven't yet shown you. This get well card has a very simple layout with a punny sentiment from the Special Someone Stamp Set. To add interest I used the coordinating Special Day Dies and also the Balloon Bouquet Punch. SUBTLE LAYERS This project was really all about the two-part sentiment, so I decided to keep the rest of card quite subtle. I began by using my Paper Trimmer to cut and score a ... VIEW POST

Don’t Overlook The Itty Bitty Speech Bubble

December 2, 2020 2 Comments

While I love having stamp sets that include sentiments, I also like to mix and match. Sometimes what I want to say simply isn't there, and sometimes it is but it's just the wrong size for my design. That's why I like the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set with 32 sentiments for different occasions. There's no dies for this set but I realised all the sentiments fit inside the speech bubble from the Special Day Dies. It was the perfect finish to today's project. CUTE CHARACTERS I began this ...

Corrugated Texture And Copper Trim

May 11, 2020 Leave a Comment

Once again today's project has a couple of retiring products; the Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder and 1/4" Copper Trim. But I've also thrown in a little reminder about a returning product too. This wasn't my original plan for today, but I'm very happy with my morning's work. CORRUGATED PANEL Today I decided to showcase the retiring Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder. As you might expect it creates a corrugated feel, but being a 3D folder the ridges are very pronounced. I started by ... VIEW POST

Spring Flowers Bring A Smile To My Face

February 25, 2020 Leave a Comment

I've a lot to get done today so my blog project is a quick one. But doesn't that happen to us as papercrafters? We suddenly realise we need a card, or gift tag and only have 30 minutes to make one. Well here's an idea with spring flowers and a cute mouse that made me smile despite the stress of the morning. SPRING FLOWERS This all started when I decided to create a gift tag with spring flowers. I wanted pastel colours and so pulled out So Saffron, Balmy Blue, Blushing Bride, Mint ... VIEW POST
