Slimline Birthday Greetings

May 27, 2022 Leave a Comment

If you’re looking to make something other than a standard A2 (4-1/4” x 5-1/2”) card why not try a slimline? I’ve seen a number of different sizes of slimline cards with different names such as ‘mini slimline’, ‘short slimline’ etc. But the one I prefer starts with a piece of card 7” x 8-1/2”, scored on the short side at 3-1/2”. I like this because it makes great use of 8-1/2” x 11” sheets of card for the base and layers. Plus it fits the Slimline Envelopes from Stampin’ Up! SLIMLINE ... VIEW POST

Symbols Of Fortune Again

May 16, 2022 Leave a Comment

In just nine days time, on May 25th, Stampin’ Up! will reveal the Last Chance List and we’ll find out which products from the Stampin’ Up! January to June 2022 Mini Catalogue will be retiring forever. Some products have already been carried over into the 2022/2023 Annual Catalogue. However the question is whether any more will be reprieved. Past experience tells me that all the Designer Series Paper (DSP) packs will go. So today I used one of my favourites, Symbols of Fortune to create this ... VIEW POST

Wildflower Path With Bamboo

February 21, 2022 Leave a Comment

Why is it that so many papercrafters say they find making masculine cards the most difficult?  I have to admit I used to feel that way too until I developed a sort of blueprint. I’ll often look for a non-flowery paper (or embossing folder), and then stick to simple shapes.  But that doesn’t mean it has to be boring.  Today’s masculine / gender-neutral card is a perfect example of that.  After choosing a simple bamboo patterned paper and the Wildflower Path Stamp Set for my ...

Sweets & Treats Is Not Quite Done Yet

November 29, 2021 Leave a Comment

I've been going through my stamp sets and other products from the July to December 2021 Mini Catalogue that are about to retire. It's always a bitter sweet moment as I hate to say goodbye to my favourites. However it's tempered by the excitement at all the lovely new things that are coming. So until then I'm going to make the most of the time I have left. Today's project uses the retiring Sweets & Treats Stamp Set to make a Christmas fridge magnet to hold those last minute ...

Bring On Christmas With Sweets & Treats

October 23, 2021 Leave a Comment

There's only a week left of October and nine weeks today will be Christmas Day. So I have another Christmas card idea for you, and this time it involves a fancy fold. It`s true some fancy fold cards are quite complicated and involve lots of measurements and pieces, but not this one. This is one of the first fancy folds that I teach my beginner stampers and it's called an easel card. This particular design was one I made during my recent 24 cards in 24 hours marathon. EASEL FOLD ... VIEW POST

Baby card with "and the love only grows' sentiment from the Treasures of Life Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Treasures Of Life In My Own Arms

April 22, 2021 Leave a Comment

I've always loved the Treasures Of Life Stamp Set. It called to me as a grandparent, and even more so as I have two new twin granddaughters. I say new, they're already seven weeks old, but despite being born more than 5 weeks early they avoided special care and are thriving. I've been very lucky and managed to travel to the UK, and am very grateful I can spend time with the family. So the "and the love only grows" sentiment from the Treasures of Life Stamp Set on today's project really ... VIEW POST
