Vintage-style card with "Oh Happy Day!" sentiment created using the Poinsettia Petals and Many Messages Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Many Messages For Every Occasion

February 8, 2021 Leave a Comment

Well the winter storm is still raging outside and a huge snowdrift means we won't be using the front door anytime soon. Still at least the power stayed on (so far) and I was able to complete my blog post for you. Today I have a vintage inspired card showing off the Rococo Rose Card and ink that will be retired on May 3rd. The sentiment is one of 19 (plus 4 tiny images) in the new Many Messages Stamp Set. I set 'set' but in reality it's just one large stamp. It coordinates with the Messages Die ... VIEW POST

Today’s Plan: Make A Christmas Fridge Magnet

December 5, 2020 Leave a Comment

Today's blog project comes to you courtesy of my fridge. As usual after getting up and having a shower I went downstairs to make my morning coffee. Often a project idea will come to me overnight but today my mind was blank. It was only as I went to the fridge to get the milk that I thought about a fridge magnet. I haven't made one in quite a while, so that was in my head as I made my way to my studio. I was thinking of using magnetic sheet for the base, but as I sat down I saw a large ... VIEW POST

Ink In All The Right Places Today

August 5, 2020 Leave a Comment

When you blog every day with a new project design it can be challenging. Often I go to bed wondering what my next project will be and I wake up with an idea. In the event that that doesn't happen, usually a shower does the trick. Today was once of those days and the idea for a candle collar popped into my head. So with products from the new Gilded Autumn Suite and a couple of ink pads I set to work. CANDLE COLLAR I began with a pillar candle that is 2-3/4" across and 2-1/4" high (not ... VIEW POST

Yesterday Tragedy Touched My World

April 20, 2020 6 Comments

Yesterday morning as I sat down to write my blog I said it was an "interesting" morning. On the instructions of the RCMP we were locked in our home and keeping an eye out for strangers on our property. All we knew at the time was that there was an "active shooter" situation 3kms down the road. Living in a rural community we're used to hearing the odd gunshot during hunting season. This however was something entirely different. Little did we know that as the day progressed the eyes of the ... VIEW POST

A More Masculine Decorated Notebook

November 19, 2019 Leave a Comment

I've decorated quite a few notebooks over the years but I must admit they've tended to be more appealing to the ladies. So today I thought I should make a more masculine decorated notebook. RICH MASCULINE COLOURS To create this masculine project I decided to use a hardback notebook that I'd purchased in Walmart recently. First I decided on my colours. I had in my mind Merry Merlot and Night of Navy. As luck would have it they worked beautifully against the notebook cover, which ... VIEW POST

Drawer / matchbox style box wrapped with Let It Snow DSP from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

One Very Large Matchbox

November 7, 2019 Leave a Comment

Over the past couple of weeks I've shown you how to make different gift boxes. I started with a simple tray box with a separate lid. Then last week I showed you how to turn your tray box into a book style box. Today I have another variation on the tray box, this time turning it into a drawer or matchbox. In fact so you could see what I was doing I made one very large matchbox! For this project my finished box size is 7-1/2" x 4" x 1-3/4", but you could make this any size you ... VIEW POST
