Finding Interesting Dies To Layer

October 28, 2020 Leave a Comment

When looking at dies that coordinate with a stamp set there's always the temptation to concentrate on the stamp set. If the images in the stamp set don't appeal then the dies often don't get a second look. But I've learned that this strategy could mean I miss something. For example this morning while creating my gift tag project I discovered the Painted Labels Dies make interesting layers. PAINTED LABELS DIES Today I decided to try something a little different for my tag base. First ... VIEW POST

A Paper Pumpkin Thing – Hello Pumpkin

September 24, 2020 2 Comments

It may not be the end of September but it is the last Thursday, so that means it's time for another A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop. This month we were treated to the Hello Pumpkin kit. This kit was designed so we could make Halloween or autumn themed crackers, with enough supplies for 20. I'm not a huge Halloween fan but that really didn't matter with this kit. HELLO PUMPKIN POST-IT NOTE® PAD For my first project I decided to use pieces from the Hello Pumpkin kit to decorate a ... VIEW POST

Leafy Heart Makes A Simple Layer

August 6, 2020 Leave a Comment

Once upon a time I never fussy cut anything. Then as time went on I'd cut shapes or simple images when I had no punch or die to do it for me. Now I find myself reaching for my Paper Snips more and more often. When I started today's project I fully intended to have my stamped heart on a simple square layer. However, as so often happens, when I began to put the project together another option popped into my head. TEXTURED BACKGROUND I began my project by creating the card base and ... VIEW POST

Always Something New To Try

July 8, 2020 Leave a Comment

If there's something I've learned in my crafting journey it's that there's always something new to try. Take this morning for instance, I'd planned a simple background using some patterned paper edged with a little foil sheet. I cut a strip 1/8" wide as I always do, and then an idea popped into my head... What if I cut a slightly wider strip and embossed it? And the rest, as they say, is history. PAPER FIRST I actually started this project by choosing the very subtle Petal Pink ... VIEW POST

Put A Partridge In A Pear Wreath

July 6, 2020 Leave a Comment

We're now into the second half of the year and December will be here before we know it. So I've resolved to make a few Christmas projects every week to save myself some stress. Today's project is a sweet card that will have you singing to yourself while you make it. At least that's what happened to me as I put the partridge in my pear wreath. FIRST THE WREATH I began by creating the wreath background from the Arrange A Wreath Stamp Set. The wreath is quite large and personally I find ... VIEW POST

Subtle Sponging – An Idea To Try

May 1, 2020 2 Comments

Today has not been the easiest of mornings. I slept in (something I rarely do) which immediately put me behind with my plans. Then after I had virtually completed my subtle sponging project for today I noticed an inky black mark right in the middle! Usually I'll simply cover it up or use some other tactic to disguise the damage, but this time it wasn't going to be possible. I just had to start over again. Eventually my second project was photographed and the photographs edited and ... VIEW POST
