Create this geometric birthday card using the Sentimental Swirls Stamp Set. Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder and retiring Tasteful Labels Dies, all from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Brick Texture Adds Interest

April 20, 2022 12 Comments

Today’s card project comes to you courtesy of another design challenge. This time it was the Hand Stamped Sentiment Color Challenge that inspired me with a combination of three blues. Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point would normally result a sea-themed project, and I have to admit it did cross my mind. However in the end I decided to go with something much more geometric. It was only later that I thought of embossing the background. So that’s when the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing ... VIEW POST

Tasteful Labels Will Be Missed

April 12, 2022 Leave a Comment

There’s less than three more weeks left before the Last Chance promotion ends and the retiring products are gone. If you’re looking for a bargain, check out the dies, punches, paper and accessories. Most of these are discounted, including the Tasteful Labels Dies used to cut out the sentiment on today’s slimline card project. Fewer stamp sets are discounted but they’re still worth a look. All the retiring products that are still available can be found in the Last Chance section of my website. ... VIEW POST

Encircled In Beauty Retires

April 1, 2022 Leave a Comment

When a product is retired by Stampin' Up! I stop using it on my blog projects. This is because I'd hate you to fall in love with something you can no longer buy. Many of these products are then sold off to make room for new things. But there are always exceptions for products that will definitely stay for my own private use. The Encircled In Beauty Dies fall into that latter category. I love being able to create doilies in any colour I want, and in multiple sizes too. ENCIRCLED IN ... VIEW POST

Sweet Strawberry Swansong

March 25, 2022 Leave a Comment

I'm still working my way through the Retiring List and giving them all one last hurrah. Today’s project features four retiring products... the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set and the coordinating Strawberry Builder Punch, plus the Ornate Frames and Tasteful Labels Dies. These two sets of dies have been a staple in my craft studio and therefore I’ll probably miss them the most. The Strawberry Builder Punch also coordinates with the Sentimental Swirls Stamp Set in the January to June 2022 Mini ... VIEW POST

Beautiful Very Versailles Stamp Set

January 31, 2022 Leave a Comment

What a frustrating morning! My vintage style gift tag made using the Very Versailles Stamp Set was done yesterday, and today I just had to write the blog post. However, on-going problems with our rural internet have been worse than ever. Just recently it's been extremely unstable, cutting out every couple of minutes. Right now we have a temporary fix, but long-term we've been told we should upgrade our service. So instead of my planned crafting day I'll be researching our options. ... VIEW POST

Peekaboo Farm Animals at Christmas?

December 24, 2021 Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago I was challenged to create a project using layout sketch as my inspiration. This was based on the card in the bottom right-hand corner on page 88 of the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. The original card uses products from the very Christmassy Tidings of Christmas suite so I was determined to make a non-Christmas card. With that in mind I selected the Peekaboo Farm Stamp Set and set to work. It's only now, weeks later, that I'm struck by a certain irony. What could be more ... VIEW POST
