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

Happy Chocolate Cupcake Day

October 18, 2021 Leave a Comment

How is it Monday again? It feels like there's altogether too many Mondays in a week. Still today is a better Monday than most as it's also Chocolate Cupcake Day. Yep apparently that's a thing, and who am I to argue? Now all I need to do is find a chocolate cupcake. I'm not much of a baker, unlike my daughter and especially my son-in-law, but I can stamp. So here's my contribution to this special day... CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE & FROSTING I've been having a lot of fun with the Sweets ... VIEW POST

Sweets & Treats For A Simple Project

October 6, 2021 Leave a Comment

After my World Card Making Day 24 hour marathon at the weekend I wanted to create something quick and easy to wind down. So what better way to practice my colouring and design ideas than on a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of card. Of course it certainly doesn't hurt that I can turn that strip into a bookmark with a punch and a bit of ribbon. So out came the Sweets & Treats Stamp Set and a bunch of Stampin' Blends alcohol markers... On my strip of Thick Whisper White Card I first needed to stamp ... VIEW POST

Sweets & Treats – Cupcake Edition

September 15, 2021 Leave a Comment

A week or two ago I created a fun bookmark with an apple pie image using the Sweets & Treats Stamp Set. For today's project I went back to the same set but this time for the cupcake. Little images like this make great focal points for simple cards but today I went even smaller. So here's a 3" x 3" card turned into a gift tag with the addition of a punch and twine. It's a great way to practice #simplestamping ideas. FOLDED GIFT TAG I began with my Paper Trimmer and cut a 3" x 6" ... VIEW POST

First Outing For Sweets & Treats

August 30, 2021 Leave a Comment

With autumn just around the corner thoughts will soon turn to comfort foods. On a cool evening there's nothing like hot apple pie, and that's what attracted me to the new Sweets & Treats Stamp Set. This set has some great images featuring sweets or desserts, plus a cake stand and dome. There's also five sentiments covering a range of occasions. For my first project I fancied using the apple pie and cake stand to try out the no-line watercolouring technique. NO-LINE ... VIEW POST
