My regular blog readers will know that I love extending the possibilities with my stamp sets. But I don't think I do it very often with dies. So today I thought I'd show you how I made the retiring Frosted Frames Dies useful all year. FROSTED FRAMES This project all started when I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow) to fix some of the Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper to some Very Vanilla Card. Then I cut the layers out using the large fancy die from the Frosted Frames ... VIEW POST
Modern Christmas Colours
Can you believe it's December tomorrow? I've no idea where November went. Once again I've got to the end of the month before I got to the end of my to do list. I'm going to make a concerted effort to be productive today so my blog post will be a quick one. I have been experimenting in my studio and ended up with this card featuring more modern Christmas colours. SIMPLE BASE I began by cutting and scoring some Thick Very Vanilla Card to make my card base. Then I folded it along the ... VIEW POST
A More Masculine Decorated Notebook
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
The Power Of Inked Embossing
The very first card I made as part of my World Card Making Day challenge was this good luck card. I have to say that it's one of my favourites. I'm not sure if it's the colour scheme or the very striking inked embossing folder, whatever it is I love it. GOOD LUCK This card and my challenge began with the good luck sentiment from the Believe You Can (Host) Stamp Set. I stamped the image onto a piece of Very Vanilla Card using Tuxedo Black ink, then set to work with my Stampin' Blends ... VIEW POST
Peaceful Boughs Sneak Peek
It's the 24th (of August that is) and in four months it will be Christmas Eve. Scary huh? As a papercrafter I know how quickly those months will fly by and how much I need to do before then. So I'm not going to feel too guilty over today's sneak peek using the new Peaceful Boughs Stamp Set. SIMPLE BOUGHS The Peaceful Boughs Stamp Set actually includes three different pine tree boughs. Today I decided to use the smallest and largest ones, as well as the smaller of two pine ... VIEW POST
Scary Moments In The Garden
My regular blog followers will now that I love living in rural Nova Scotia. There's something very magical about looking up and seeing nature right outside the window. Occasionally we see black bear, and on summer evenings we might hear a coyote. Most of the time though it's the birds that catch my eye, and the eye of our cat Houdini. Yesterday that's what immediately came to mind when he dashed off the deck and I got up to see what it was that had excited him. That's when we had a really ... VIEW POST
