After the events of the weekend I have been touched by the kindness and compassion shown by complete strangers. This is what makes us human. It was inevitable I suppose that I'd want to make condolences cards. This is the first, using the aptly named Kindness & Compassion Stamp Set. SOFT BACKGROUND I began my project by choosing the background design. This is a piece from the Perennial Essence 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. Using my Paper Trimmer I cut four ...

Yesterday Tragedy Touched My World
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
Use An Embossing Folder For Added Interest
Whenever I get a new stamp set I love to create a whole bunch of projects. Some are simpler than others, and some combine the new stamps with other older (but still available) products in my craft studio.

Playing With Forever Blossoms
I'm still working my way through my new box of goodies from Stampin' Up! and today it's the turn of the Forever Blossoms Stamp Set.

FOREVER BLOSSOMS The Forever Blossoms Stamp Set has one large branch of blossoms and leaves, plus some separate flower and leaf images. The larger image was perfect for my card front, while the smaller ones would work well for the inside ... VIEW POST
Kettle’s On, Get The Coaster
Did you know that I've not always been a papercrafter? When my children were young I used to sew and embroider all the time. Sadly I developed problems that made holding a sewing needle very painful after a few minutes and I had to give up that hobby. Thankfully I discovered papercrafting is easier on my hands and I haven't looked back since. Of course I still have boxes of supplies and I go through them every now and them. That's how I discovered an acrylic drinks coaster I'd bought to ... VIEW POST
Taking Subtle To A Whole New Level
Playing with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder is always fun, but I think I've taken it to a whole new level. The other day I made a masculine card using the embossing folder to create an ink embossed background. Today I decided to try something new that I've not seen anywhere else and... Well I'll let you decide the result for yourself. SUBTLE BUT AMAZING This project all started with a piece of Crumb Cake Card and a Crumb Cake ink pad. First I wiped the ink pad on the inside of the ... VIEW POST
