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

Floral card created using Monet inspired Perennial Essence paper and "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Magnolia Blooms Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Perennial Essence Is Pretty Paper

October 15, 2019 6 Comments

I love the Perennial Essence 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. It's so pretty and makes creating stunning cards really easy. Stampin' Up! product designer Julie Alusa was inspired by French painter Claude Monet's work and decided to paint her own masterpiece. The painting she created was then used to create the amazing DSP. And while I can't paint like Julie, her work allows me to add a little perennial essence to my projects. PERENNIAL ESSENCE FLORALS I began this project ... VIEW POST

Vintage-style wedding card with 'Marriage is a journey' sentiment created using the Flourishing Phrases and Timeless Textures Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up!

Flourishing Phrases for #WWYS215

April 15, 2019 Leave a Comment

It's Monday, and time for another What Will You Stamp? challenge. Of course as a member of the Design Team that means I have to come up with something to inspire you. The rules are the same, chose at least one stamp from the featured set and use it to create an inspiring project. This week the challenge is #WWYS215 Flourishing Phrases. So I decided to team that with a retiring stamp set to create a vintage-style wedding card. TIMELESS TEXTURES Although the challenge stamp set is ... VIEW POST

Mixing Paper Products

November 24, 2018 Leave a Comment

One of the things I love about Stampin' Up! products is the way everything coordinates.  It makes it so easy to create lovely projects with the minimum of fuss.  That was important during my personal World Card Making Challenge last month as I tried to design and make 24 different cards in 24 hours.  Today's project is the last of those using layers of different paper products for a celebration card.   A SIMPLE START I began this project very simply with a piece of Thick Whisper ...

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

This simple card with 'sending hedgehugs your way' sentiment uses the marker to stamp technique on images from the Hedgehugs Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Marker To Stamp Technique

November 8, 2018 Leave a Comment

You’ll find lots of examples in my projects of how I add colour to my stamped images.  Yesterday I used ink and an Aqua Painter, the day before that I used Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers.  So today I want to show you a simple project I created using the marker to stamp technique. MARKER TO STAMP TECHNIQUE The marker to stamp technique really speaks for itself and couldn’t be simpler.  Using the brush tip of Stampin’ Write Makers colour directly onto the surface of the stamp, breathe on ...
