Splendid But Still Retiring

November 30, 2022 Leave a Comment

Well it’s the end of November and the eve of the Last Chance promotion. So beginning tomorrow selected products being retired from the July to December Mini Catalogue will be on sale at up to 60% off. But don’t be fooled, in reality there’s only a limited number of items not retiring. As is common, all of the Designer Series Paper (DSP) is going, including the Splendid Day Specialty DSP. I particularly liked this pack as the colours in pearlised and foiled patterns were great for all sorts of ... VIEW POST

Inspired 24 Times Over

November 15, 2022 Leave a Comment

Oh my goodness what a weekend I’ve had and it stretched right into Monday! On Saturday I attended my first craft fair of the season at Wentworth, Nova Scotia. Then on Sunday I started my delayed World Cardmaking Day challenge. This is where I challenge myself to design and make 24 different cards in 24 hours. It was close, but I made it with minutes to spare. Each card will be showcased here over the coming weeks, starting today with number 7 of 24, using the Inspired Thoughts Stamp ... VIEW POST

Elephant Parade Again

September 21, 2022 Leave a Comment

My process for designing new projects varies. Sometimes I just sit and start creating something with no real idea where I will end up. Other times I have a definite plan and everything comes together just as I had imagined it would. Today’s project however didn’t go quite so smoothly. You see I’d planned to use the Elephant Parade Stamp Set along with the coordinating Elephant Dies. But I ended up ditching the dies in favour of fussy cutting with Paper Snips. All because of the colouring ... VIEW POST

Pocket Envelope Dies

July 15, 2022 Leave a Comment

It’s Friday, yay! Yesterday was a busy one for me with a longer to-do list than I’d have liked. Still, I managed to get through it all. This included looking through the other new products I recently ordered from Stampin’ Up! Today I wanted to show you my first attempt using the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies. As the name suggests there’s a die to create a mini pocket, plus there’s another 9 dies to create decorative elements and labels. So to start off here’s a simple wedding gift card ... VIEW POST

Splendid Day For A Sneak Peek

June 28, 2022 Leave a Comment

It may only be Tuesday but it already feels like it’s been a very long week. I’m so tired and wonder if I’m coming down with something. So for today’s sneak peek I created a get well card featuring the Splendid Day 12” x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). On one side of each sheet are simple, printed designs that are great for card layers. But on the back of each one are gorgeous patterns that are faux heat embossed in white on a pearlised or shiny foil background. SPLENDID ... VIEW POST
