I don't know what it is about Nova Scotia but it seems just about everyone (guys at least) wear hats. I friend showed me her husband's collection the other day and the closet reminded me of others I'd seen. So I suppose it was only fitting that I get the new Hats Off Stamp Set and Hat Builder Dies from Stampin' Up!. They've got lots amazing details but I thought I could step it up a notch with some enhanced faux stitching. HATS OFF TO THE DESIGNERS I began by choosing the small floral ... VIEW POST
Petal Pink Finally Has Me Hooked
When Stampin' Up! refreshed its colour range a couple of years ago I had mixed feelings. Out went some of my favourite colours, but so too did some I wasn't keen on so that balanced it out. Of all the new colours I suppose the one I've struggled with the most is Petal Pink. There was just something about Petal Pink that made me avoid it when designing projects. Perhaps it was because the colour wasn't a proper 'pink'. It took a while, but suddenly I'm in love with Petal Pink. It's still ... VIEW POST
Block Stamped Background Rediscovered
During my craft room reorganisation one of the things I love is rediscovering old projects. That's especially true when it reminds me of a technique or design that I haven't used in ages. Today's card came about as a result of one of those discoveries, and it's all about the block stamping technique. SIMPLE BLOCK STAMPING I began my project with a 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" piece of Shimmery White Card that I found among my scraps. Shimmery White Card takes water nicely so is a good choice for ... VIEW POST
Quiet Meadow With A Vintage Vibe
So this today hasn't gone at all according to plan, hence my blog is very late being published. It's not even as if I had a card to make, it was pretty much complete last night. All I needed to do was decorate the inside and envelope! I can't even put my finger on why I'm running behind, I just am. So without any further delay here's a vintage-style card created using the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set. MEADOW BUTTERCUPS I was inspired to make this card after I saw a comment on Facebook ... VIEW POST
A Different Kind Of Easter Chick
Happy Easter everyone. It's a beautiful spring day here where I'm staying in the south of England, and hopefully where you are too. For today's simple Sunday project I went looking for the Easter Bunny but came up short. Instead, please enjoy this "Best of Cluck" card featuring the Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set. GOOD LUCK CHICK The Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set has four sentiments, four chick images plus an image of seeds and worms. Each sentiment can work with several of the images ... VIEW POST
Last Chance For Pretty Peacock Card
The list of products being retired by Stampin' Up! was only revealed yesterday afternoon and some things are already sold out. As predicted, the 2019-2021 InColors have been very popular and several items are now gone for good. Pretty Peacock Card is one such casualty, although there is still a slight chance you might be lucky if you are looking for this. As I write, the 8-1/2" x 11" Pretty Peacock Card is sold out, along with the 12" x 12" mixed pack of 2019-2021 InColor Card. However, ... VIEW POST
