This humorous white Christmas card was created for wine drinkers using the Half Full Stamp Set and Santa's Workshop DSP from Stampin' Up!

Half Full Humour

November 9, 2018 4 Comments

My regular blog readers will know that I can sometimes have a quirky sense of humour.  I’ve also been known to ‘see’ things in my Stampin’ Up! supplies that others may miss.  So I simply couldn’t help myself when I saw the snowmen in the Santa’s Workshop Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack.  With a little help from the Half Full Stamp Set and my Paper Snips I soon had one of my favourite Christmas card designs so far this year. PREPARING THE SCENE I began with a piece of Night of ... VIEW POST

3" x 3" Post-It Note Pad decorated with simply thankful (altered) sentiment and floral image from the Country Home Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Country Home WWYS193

November 5, 2018 Leave a Comment

Have you ever heard of 'no-line watercolouring'?  It's a technique where you stamp an image in a very light colour then paint over it.  The pale stamped outline then 'disappears' leaving a watercoloured look with no obvious lines.  For my What Will You Stamp? Challenge Design Team project this week I thought I'd try something similar.  This week's challenge is WWYS193 Country Home and my project is a covered Post-It Note® pad. THE COVER I started by making a simple wrap-around cover for ... VIEW POST

Simple card created using Stampin' Blends and the Spirited Snowmen Stamp Set with 'love never melts' sentiment.

Love Never Melts

November 4, 2018 Leave a Comment

My daughter loves snow, when she can mess around in it with the children that is.  Driving in it, not so much.  So she's always asking when's the best time to visit us to see snow.  Funny enough I never say December, or January, I've found in my little corner of Canada, February is best.  So when I saw the Spirited Snowmen Stamp Set and the 'love never melts' sentiment I immediately thought of Valentine's Day. Before I knew it I had made today's very simple Sunday project. LOVE NEVER ... VIEW POST

Large gift tag with holly border and Christmas Wishes sentiment created using the Peaceful Poinsettia Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Holly Border Tag

November 2, 2018 Leave a Comment

One of my favourite stamp sets in the Stampin' Up! 2018 Holiday Catalogue is Peaceful Poinsettia.  I simply love the line-art images and the large clean font used for the sentiments.  Of course it certainly doesn't hurt that there's coordinating Detailed Poinsettia Thinlits Dies available too.  But today I wanted to bring you a quick project featuring the holly border image. FIRST THINGS FIRST To start I needed to create the basic shape for this large gift tag from Thick Very Vanilla ... VIEW POST

See-through snowman card created using Seasonal Chums Stamp Set and Snowfall Thinlits Dies from Stampin' Up!

Seasonal Chums WWYS192

October 29, 2018 6 Comments

This week the What Will You Stamp? challenge is WWYS192 Seasonal Chums.  This is such a cute stamp set with a snowman, pumpkin and deer plus 5 sentiments.  The images feature a back and front view and are designed to be used as folded gift tags, and this is made really easy with the coordinating Seasonal Tags Framelits Dies.   Simply stamp once, cut once, then fold. Of course as part of the What Will You Stamp? Design Team I wanted to create something other than a tag.  So I designed a card ... VIEW POST

The finished 'Merry Christmas' pop-up card designed and made by Alyssa (aged almost 8) using products from the Santa's Workshop suite from Stampin' Up!

Merry Christmas Pop-Up Card

October 24, 2018 2 Comments

Yesterday I had a fun couple of hours in my craft studio with a very special guest, my granddaughter Alyssa.  She'll be 8 next month and it was such fun to watch her design and create her own pop-up Christmas card. Let me say from the outset that this card was all her idea.  She's been playing with the "pop-up" process at home and wanted to show me how to do it.  All I did was show her how to put the pop-up layer inside another card to hide the mechanism.  Then, apart from some very minor ...

It's been such a long time since I've tried 'water It's been such a long time since I've tried 'watercolouring' a stamped image with ink. But July is World Watercolor Month and that was all the incentive I needed. #papercraftwithme #celebratesunflowers #sunflowersdies #papercrafting #cardmakersofinstagram #creativechallengesu #cardmaking #craftersofinstagram #crafting #sunflowers #handmadecards #thankyoucards #watercolorstampinup #stampinupcanada #stampinupcanadademonstrator #stampinup #madeinnovascotia
