Masculine / gender neutral card with "You're stronger than most" sentiment and leaf image from the Beautiful Promenade Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Bye Bye Beautiful Promenade

April 25, 2020 Leave a Comment

Yesterday I started going through my stamp sets to pull out those that are being retired. As usual there were some that I haven't used in ages and probably won't miss very much. There are others that I love and will stay in my collection forever. Then there's the third category, sets I haven't used in a while but can't understand why. Today's stamp set, Beautiful Promenade definitely falls into the third category. While it's got a number of floral images, it's the triple leaf image that ... VIEW POST

Taking Time To Tie A Tassel

November 29, 2019 Leave a Comment

As I sit down to write this blog post the wind is howling and we're preparing for what could be three days of bad weather. Thankfully we still have power at the moment although were preparing for it to go out at some point. We're still not out of the woods yet so this tassel tag project will be a quick one. FIRST THE TAG I began but cutting a piece of Thick Whisper White Card 2" x 4-1/4". Then I shaped one end using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. On top of that I attached some Real ... VIEW POST

Sympathy With Feathers And Lace

November 26, 2019 Leave a Comment

I've been having a lot of fun at local craft fairs over the past couple of weeks. It's always nice to meet other crafters and get feedback on what I make. What has been sad though is the number of people who have been asking for sympathy cards. So I've had to make quite a few more to restock my card racks. This is once of my recent designs. FULL PATTERNED FRONT I began this sympathy card by choosing the feather pattern from the Come To Gather 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) ... VIEW POST

New Month, New Products, No Power

November 1, 2019 Leave a Comment

I'm really sorry my blog post is so late today. The first of the month generally means more work on my website with new products being launched. However when I was right in the middle of it the power went out! We're currently experiencing very high winds and apparently that caused the problem, but it's fixed. For now... So without any further delay here's a fairly simple cookie box. MINI PIZZA BOX BASE I began with a Mini Pizza Box then I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow) to ... VIEW POST

A Custom-sized Basic Box With Lid

August 19, 2019 2 Comments

It won't be long before the Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Catalogue goes live and our attentions turn to Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas. So I thought it might be helpful to begin a series of tutorials showing you how to make different types of treat and gift packaging. Today we'll start with a basic tray-style box with a separate lid, like this. CUSTOM TWO-PART BOX This box is essentially two open trays, with the bottom of the lower one slightly smaller than the lid. They are easy ... VIEW POST

Elegant card with background images and "Have a beautiful day" sentiment from the Very Versailles Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Very Versailles Is Very Pretty

June 22, 2019 Leave a Comment

I was very late to the party when it come to stamp sets designed to be used 'collage style'. I suppose just didn't understand the odd combination of images, and how they could ever make a nice project. Now of course things are very different, and as soon as I saw the Very Versailles Stamp Set I knew I had to get it. So when I sat down to make today's project I wanted to showcase this very pretty set without bringing in any others. A SIMPLE START Very Versailles actually has a ... VIEW POST
