Forever Flourishing Makes Its Debut

May 23, 2020 Leave a Comment

Spring has been a long time coming. It's as if the alarm went off but she hit the snooze button and went back to sleep for a few extra weeks. Finally though my crab apple trees have come into leaf and the blossoms are hopefully not far behind. So with warmer weather and blue skies outside I was inspired to make a project using the new Forever Flourishing Dies. A LITTLE PREPARATION I began my gift tag by cutting a 2" x 3-1/2" piece of Thick Very Vanilla Card. Then using some Stampin' ... VIEW POST

Starting Easter With Some Me Time

April 10, 2020 Leave a Comment

Today is the first day of a three day Easter break for me. If you've been following my blog you'll know that I'm currently working as a pharmacy assistant. I really enjoy the job, but I must admit it can be stressful at times. To add to everything else I have now developed dermatitis on my hands extending up both arms. My doctor believes it could be due to stress or something I've come into contact with. I suspect the constant handwashing and cleaning at work may have played it's part. The ... VIEW POST

A Paper Pumpkin Thing – No Matter The Weather

March 26, 2020 Leave a Comment

And just like that it's the last Thursday of the month and time for another A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop. This month we've got alternate project ideas for the amazing March kit "No Matter The Weather". For my projects I decided to set aside the second free stamp set and concentrate on the smaller set. With everything that's happening in the world with COVID19 I was immediately struck by the sentiments in this kit. These are so apt right now and I really wanted to focus on two of them ...

Create a spring wreath with daffodils & narcissus using the Floral Essence Stamp Set, Perennial Flower Punch and Hand-Lettered Prose Dies by Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Spring Wreath Decor (Papercraft Style)

March 11, 2020 2 Comments

A few weeks back I was playing with punches and created some 3D daffodils. Then I used one of them on card for St. David's Day. Today I have another daffodil / narcissus project but on a much bigger scale, a spring wreath. ROPE WREATH I found this rope circle in my local Dollarama. It measures 11" across and has what feels like a solid metal core. It certainly is very sturdy and I decided it would make an ideal base for my spring wreath. I began by cutting out the individual ... VIEW POST

I Simply Love Cherry Blossoms

February 18, 2020 Leave a Comment

While we're still dealing with winter and the extreme cold that brings, other places are more fortunate. I've even seen photos of trees covered in spring blossoms! There's something about apple and cherry blossoms that makes me smile. Maybe its the realisation that winter is finally over with lighter evenings and much milder temperatures. For now though I'll just have to get my smiles from the Forever Blossoms Stamp Set and coordinating Cherry Blossoms Dies. ALWAYS AND FOREVER I ... VIEW POST

Thoughts turn to spring with crocus images on this "thinking of you" card created using the Easter Promise and Very Versailles Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

The First Crocus In My Collection

January 27, 2020 Leave a Comment

I'm still working my way through my parcel of new goodies from Stampin' Up! and having such fun. Yesterday I realised that it was definitely getting lighter in the evenings, and spring must be on its way. So was it any wonder that I chose crocus images for today's project. PURPLE CROCUS Whenever I think of a crocus my first thought is purple. Stampin' Up! give us a lovely choice of purples but I decided to use Highland Heather for the front of my project. But first I had to stamp the ... VIEW POST
