It’s the weekend, the sun is shining and it’s due to warm up too. This morning there were 9 white-tailed deer vising the all-you-can-eat buffet that is my front lawn. Also more obvious now are the various birds that visit when our black cat Houdini is not in a playful mood. We even saw our first blue jay this year. These brightly coloured birds always make me smile when I see them, so blue was the colour I reached for when designing today’s project using the Sweet Songbirds Stamp Set. SWEET ... VIEW POST
Sneak Peek Recap And More!
At last it’s here! After lots of anticipation the Stampin’ Up! 2022/2023 Annual Catalogue is now live for customers. It’s been fun playing with the products I was able to get during the Demonstrator pre-order period. However starting today I now have the whole catalogue to choose from, and it’s hard to decide what to get first. I’ll probably order a couple of stamp sets, some stand-alone dies and maybe some more paper. But while I wrestle with that dilemma, here’s a quick recap of my recent ... VIEW POST
Cheers For My Sneak Peek Kick-Off
It's Monday! Not my usual response to the beginning of what I know will be a very busy week, but it's going to be fun. My pre-order of new products from the Stampin' Up! 2022/2023 Annual Catalogue arrived on Friday and I've been playing. This means that today I can start my sneak peek series leading right up until next Tuesday when the new catalogue finally goes live. Today’s project highlights a very interesting take on the Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) concept. I think there’ll be ... VIEW POST
Cherry Blossom Regrets
Today is going to be fun as I’ve just got my hands on a physical copy of the Stampin’ Up! 2022/2023 Annual Catalogue. First I have a few tasks to do as my pre-order of new products is due to arrive tomorrow. So now I need to make room by putting away anything that’s retiring. That includes the Cherry Blossom Dies and Paper Lattice used on today’s project. While playing with this pretty set I found myself wishing I’d paid more attention to the embossing dies. Better late than never... I ... VIEW POST
Tailor Made Ahead Of Time
How early is too early to make a start on this year’s Christmas crafting? Yesterday’s blog post featured a pretty but simple Christmas card using the retiring Snowflake Wishes Stamp Set and coordinating So Many Snowflakes Dies. Today I wanted to remind you about the Tidings of Christmas 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (DSP) that’s also being retired. This DSP has lots of patterns that can be used for other occasions too. In fact I included two of these on this tag created with the Tailor Made Tags ... VIEW POST
Seas The Day (Hopefully)
It seems that this COVID infection for me is currently manifesting as a bad head cold and sore throat. Hopefully it will stay that way and not develop into more severe symptoms. I’ve noticed however that it’s worse in the mornings. Tylenol is helping, although not with the foggy brain. Today is looking better with my new project and blog post done much earlier than yesterday. I even included a little ‘altered die-cut technique’. I love the “seas the day” pun and ... VIEW POST
