I’m not sure how it can be Monday already, but apparently it is. They say time flies when you’re having fun, and I was definitely enjoying myself in the craft studio this weekend. Exploring new stamp sets and dies, and rediscovering old ones is my favourite way to relax. Yesterday I went back to the new Celebrations Tag Dies. My intention was to test out the second style of tag this set creates. In fact I was having so much fun I didn’t even think to grab a stamp set! TAKE 3 CELEBRATIONS ... VIEW POST
Brightest Glow
Ok I admit it. When I first saw the Brightest Glow Stamp Set I decided I didn’t need it. But every time I flicked through the Stampin’ Up! July to December Mini Catalogue I found myself pausing on page 30 and 31. I immediately bought and love the Lights Aglow paper, the ribbon and the festive pearls. But I finally gave in and got the Brightest Glow Stamp Set and coordinating Labels Aglow Dies. It’s designed as a “Christmas” stamp set but that wasn’t the theme of my first project. BRIGHTEST ...

Autumn Bouquet Dies Part 3
I know I’ve said it before, but I love the Fond Of Autumn Stamp Set. First there’s a gorgeous large image that is perfect for a card front. Then there’s three smaller images that are great for decorating envelopes and the inside of cards. In addition there’s also a banner image and six sentiments. But what I love the most are the unusual features of the coordinating Autumn Bouquet Dies. I showcased these dies in two previous blog posts, and today’s project is the last in this three part ...

Hippos On Film
When I like a stamp set I always check to see if there’s a coordinating set of dies, especially if they’re offered in a discounted bundle. But when I saw the Blossoming Happiness Dies I knew I’d get them regardless. The draw for me was the two edge dies. One adds a line of small circles in the style of a spiral bound page. The other has a series of small slots like a comb bound page. Today’s project uses that second die to create a filmstrip featuring cute hippos. FILMSTRIP ACTION I ... VIEW POST
Autumn In The Air
With the year flying by I have some project ideas using pine cones collected from trees at the far end of our property. Unfortunately after ignoring that area for too long the grass is now about two feet tall making getting to the trees a challenge. So rather than wade through on foot I decided to tackle two tasks at once and mow a path through. My subsequent trip around the garden also revealed signs that autumn is on the horizon and it inspired me to create this acorn-decorated ... VIEW POST
Abigail Rose Reimagined
After yesterday’s Christmas card I thought I’d better change season, at least for a while. So for today’s simple Sunday project I decided to go back to an old but fun technique that involves absolutely no stamping. All I needed was some Designer Series Paper (DSP) and Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. Stampin’ Up! understands how relaxing it is to just sit and colour, and has made that really easy with paper packs like Perfectly Penciled. But today it was a sheet in the Abigail Rose DSP that ...
