Two weeks today will be Christmas Eve and a week later the last day of 2020. So I suppose I shouldn't be too upset that winter appears to have arrived. As I sat down to make today's project the snow was gently falling outside. Not a lot, but enough to leave a dusting on the ground. I think it's due to warm up a little so it's unlikely to stay for long. Later in the week? well that might be a whole different ballgame. With the snow outside I decided today's project should be a Christmas ... VIEW POST
Window Sheet For A Giftcard Holder
Sometimes I find a really pretty giftcard and it seems a shame to hide it away. So for today's project I decided to let the giftcard be the centre of attention. With the help of some Window Sheet, it really can become the focal point of a card. WINDOW AND FRAME I started this project with a basic Whisper White Note Card & Envelope. My plan was simple, cut a window in the front of the card to allow the giftcard to show through. After folding the note card along the pre-scored ... VIEW POST
Tis the season for mistakes
Ask any experienced papercrafter whether they make mistakes and if they're honest they'll confirm they do. That includes me. My most common issue is rushing when I'm cutting and ending up with a piece that's too small. Why is it that the wrongly cut piece is never too big?? I find that the busier I get, the more distracted I become, and that's when it happens. Today is a case in point. So much on my to do list preparing for a new season and I make one of the most basic errors. I'll tell ... VIEW POST
Way To Goat With The Puns
My regular readers will know I love a good pun, or a bad one come to that. So it should come as no surprise that the Way To Goat Stamp Set made it into my first order from the new Stampin' Up! Catalogue. With three goat images and associated sentiments I knew I'd have a blast playing with this set. So here's my first idea, a gift box for anything other than cake. MINI PAPER PUMPKIN BOX Making the box itself was so easy, it's a Mini Paper Pumpkin Box that comes ready cut and scored. ... VIEW POST
Forever After For A Wedding Card
OK I must admit that I hadn't planned to make yet another project using the Forever Fern Stamp Set so soon. But in my defence the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (DSP) made me do it. As soon as I saw this tiled design in the pack I wanted to add scored lines to the 'grout'. Then I thought the grey would look nice with pink, Petal Pink to be exact. And the rest, as they say, is history. IN GOOD TASTE So I started with the tile paper and the large stylus on my Take Your Pick tool. ... VIEW POST
Forever Greenery Surprised Me
After yesterday's hectic day I decided to take it a little easier this morning. However I hadn't planned to take it so easy that my blog would be two hours late! I'm so sorry if your morning coffee when cold while you were waiting. In my defence I was playing with the new Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper and got totally absorbed. My original card idea wasn't turning out how I'd hoped so I just started playing. Before I knew it I had a design that I absolutely love. I hope you think ... VIEW POST
