Can you believe that it’s the last day of January already! That also means we’re halfway through this year’s Sale-A-Bration promotion. I’ve been having lots of fun with the free items I earned with my orders. However, in a change from previous years this will be the only Sale-A-Bration promotion in 2023. So I’m determined to make the most of it while I still can. One item available for free with a $120 order is the 17-piece Beautifully Happy Stamp Set. This is one that’s also beautifully simple ...

Petal Park Playtime
In my Facebook memories today was a photo I took 7 years ago of snow piling up on the shrubs in front of the house. Today there’s a very different scene outside with not a snowflake on the ground and a spring-like blue sky. I was even tempted to throw open all the windows until I checked the thermometer and quickly changed my mind. So instead I’ll create my early spring indoors, starting with this pretty birthday gift tag created using the Petal Park and Go To Greetings Stamp Sets. TINY ... VIEW POST
Happy Labels
Yesterday’s freezing rain was more like ice pellets but at least the power stayed on. Now it’s back to rain again and our mild winter continues. It’s hard to believe it’s already mid-January! But it’s the beginning of another week and time to break out two bundles from the Stampin’ Up! January to April 2023 Mini Catalogue. The image-only Petal Park and sentiment-only Happy Labels seem to be a match made in heaven. Add in the coordinating Petal Park Builder Punch and Happy Labels Pick-A-Punch and ... VIEW POST
Florets Of Fancy
After yesterday’s very dramatic black gift tag I thought I should bring you a complete contrast for today’s project. So from my collection of cards created during my personal “24 cards in 24 hours” challenge I chose this birthday card. The design is really easy to do and uses no special techniques or tools. The fun part here was creating my own background design using the Framed Florets Stamp Set and three Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. The colours are a favourite combination of Old Olive, ...

Moment Of Simplicity
Something I hear people say quite often is that they struggle to colour stamped images. For this reason they avoid sets where the images have large open areas obviously designed for this purpose. From personal experience I know that this gets easier the more you practice but sometimes it’s good to get back to basics. So when I was working on my personal 24 cards in 24 hours challenge I came up with a simple design that’s easy to copy, using the In The Moment Stamp Set and Stampin’ ... VIEW POST
Rustic Meadow Idea
When I think of meadows I usually think of them in the summer. We’re trying to cultivate a natural flower meadow in a large area behind our house but it’s slow going. We started off with a few lupins that grow wild along the roadside. Having rescued the plants from being mowed down they are now well-established and spreading beautifully. We also have other plants springing up that I’ve yet to properly identify. But as autumn takes hold the whole area changes into shades of brown inspiring ... VIEW POST
