Masculine / gender neutral birthday gift tag in black, white and gold created using the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set and Snail Dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Basically Black With White And Gold Accents

May 12, 2021 Leave a Comment

Today's project is another one of those happy accidents that often happens as I'm clearing up after finishing a project. There'll be scraps of card and paper on the desk and sometimes a stamp set or dies and I'll just begin to play. This time it was a piece die-cut from Basic Black Card and a tiny black and white strip of DSP that got me started. Before I knew it I'd created a very striking masculine / gender neutral birthday gift tag. WHITE ON BLACK So the piece that started ... VIEW POST

True Love Won’t Last Forever

May 11, 2021 Leave a Comment

A few days ago I showed you a tag that I stamped and then painted with ink. It seems like I may be a bit obsessed with ink painting at the moment as that's how today's project started. However instead of stamping the images, I cheated somewhat and reached for the True Love Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack instead. It's not the first time I've coloured one of the black and white sheets, but I just can't help it. Sadly the True Love DSP is likely to be retiring very soon so I'm making the most ... VIEW POST

True Love Paper Scrap Is Not Wasted

April 19, 2021 Leave a Comment

Back at the end of January I created a thank you card using the True Love 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP). This paper pack contains 12 different black and white designs; some floral and some geometric. I have to say that it's probably my favourite DSP from the January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue, simply because of its versatility. After completing the card I had a small piece of the hand-coloured paper left over and I resolved not to waste it. In the end I decided it would make the ... VIEW POST

Hopes For More Messages Coming True

April 8, 2021 Leave a Comment

I love the Many Messages Stamp Set especially as the coordinating Messages Die cuts all 19 sentiments (and 4 small shapes) in one go. The sentiments feature different fonts and a variety of sizes and cover different occasions which is great. But even so I wanted more, and expressed my hope for additional stamp sets to use with the die. Looking through the upcoming 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue I saw that my hopes are coming true. Although I can't order it until May 4th, the new Many Happenings ... VIEW POST

Celebrating Spring With A Strawberry Or Five

March 30, 2021 Leave a Comment

As I write this blog post I am enjoying the bright spring sunshine and warmer temperatures of the UK. Wherever I am I always look forward to seeing new growth in the gardens and an increase in seasonal fruits and vegetables in the stores. One of my favourite fruits is the strawberry, although oddly not really in jams, pies or other cooked foods. No, for me nothing beats the smell and taste of fresh strawberries, eaten straight from the plant. So what better way to celebrate them than with a ... VIEW POST

Black & White Flowers Are Very Striking

March 22, 2021 Leave a Comment

After yesterday's very colourful card I have a different floral project for you today. It's no secret that I love black and white colour schemes, but sometimes I also add a pop of colour. This 5" x 7" notebook purchased in Dollarama already had a bright pink binding, but the rest of the cover did not excite me at all. That is until I took it into my craft studio and set to work. BLACK AND PINK When I was buying the notebook I thought the pink was the same as Stampin' Up!'s Flirty ... VIEW POST
