Red & Grey For A Modern Valentine

February 10, 2021 Leave a Comment

Sunday is Valentine's Day and for most people it will be very different to last year. Still that doesn't stop us sending cards. When you visit the stores most card displays are a sea of red, and hearts abound. But often I feel that the designs are quite feminine, so today I wanted to do something a little different. GREY BASE I began this card several times, first with a card base in Pretty Peacock. Then I changed to Gray Granite, and I even toyed with Whisper White. Nothing really ... VIEW POST

Happy Making Love Hearts Treats

February 1, 2021 Leave a Comment

It's February, and that means you'll be seeing hearts everywhere as we head towards Valentine's Day. The shops are full of heart-shaped products, and the candy aisles have taken on a very red hue. One of the candies I picked up was a bag full of rolls of Love Hearts candies. These were quite inexpensive and I thought would make great treats or favours. So this morning I sat down to turn these uninspiring Love Hearts packs into something a little more giftable. HEARTS WRAP I began by ... VIEW POST

One Last Little Treat Box Project

December 17, 2020 Leave a Comment

One of the problems with the Mini Catalogues is that it's really easy to think certain products can only be useful in certain seasons. Take the Little Treat Box Dies for instance, you may thinks they're really for Halloween or Christmas treats, but they ca be so much more. Today's project was inspired by thoughts of Valentine's Day or a dramatic wedding colour scheme. SCRIPTY EMBOSSING In my previous projects using the Little Treat Box Dies I've tried different techniques: a ... VIEW POST

Ending July With A Gilded Sneak Peek

July 31, 2020 2 Comments

It's Friday, the last day of the month and I woke up with the intention of making it as stress-free as possible. I failed. My trusty laptop is getting old and I am faced with the prospect of replacing it. Not something I relish, as while I can probably transfer over my existing programs and files, I will have to get used to a new operating system. Not to mention the cost! Oh well, after 8 years I suppose I should have seen it coming. So before everything locks up again, here's a ... VIEW POST

Today’s Project Is Totally Stitched Up

February 14, 2020 4 Comments

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. Today's project does include a little heart but I was actually more focused on the stitched pieces. I find going back to older but still available stamp sets and dies so rewarding and had such fun creating today's project. SIMPLE BACKGROUND LAYER I began by using my Paper Trimmer to cut and score a piece of Thick Whisper White Card. Then I folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder to create my card base. Next I chose ... VIEW POST

"I love our life together" anniversary card with polka dots background created using the Meant To Be Stamp Set and Bird Ballad patterned paper from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Polka Dots Are My Second Favourite

October 17, 2019 2 Comments

The other day I said I might be addicted to gingham, and while that's still true, I also have a thing for polka dots. Polka dots make pretty backgrounds, adding subtle detail without overpowering the focal image or sentiment. So when I wanted to make an anniversary card for my World Card Making Day challenge, it seemed the obvious choice. POLKA DOTS FROM BIRD BALLAD Unsurprisingly I began my project with the polka dot pattern from the Bird Ballad 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) ... VIEW POST
