It’s time for another IDEAS blog hop where this month our theme is “family celebrations”. There are so many to choose it was hard to pick just one. So in the end I created an anniversary card for my daughter and son-in-law, and a scrapbook page celebrating my twin granddaughters’ first birthday. Instructions for these projects are included in this month’s IDEAS tutorial bundle. Of course I couldn’t leave out my older granddaughter, so for her I created a pretty bookmark. All three projects ... VIEW POST
IDEAS Blog Hop: Wonderful World
It’s August 1st and time for another IDEAS blog hop. This month our theme is “enjoying Sale-A-Bration” so the IDEAS team have designed and created projects with celebrations in mind. Of course it goes without saying that they also use exclusive products from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. For my Tutorial Bundle projects I decided to use the gorgeous Wonderful World 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper. It’s only available as part of a free bundle, so I used the coordinating stamp set to create two ... VIEW POST
IDEAS Blog Hop: Very Best Occasions
It’s time for another IDEAS blog hop where this month our theme is “holidays”. While we've just celebrated Canada Day here, I wanted to look towards the end of the year. Christmas is definitely my favourite holiday for crafting projects, and I suspect for many others too.

Meanwhile for my blog followers I used these products to create a striking “love you mean it” gift ... VIEW POST
IDEAS Blog Hop: Go To Greetings
Greetings! It’s the first Monday of the month and time for another IDEAS blog hop where this month our theme is “color me happy”.

So for my Tutorial Bundle projects I decided to use pairs of colours from the Regals and Subtles families and the Go To Greetings Stamp Set. Meanwhile for my blog followers I used the same stamp set to create a “Thinking of you” ... VIEW POST
IDEAS Blog Hop: He’s The Man
It’s the first Monday of the month and that means it’s time for another IDEAS blog hop. This month our theme is “fast & fabulous cards”. I decided to create all my cards using the He’s The Man suite on pages 78 and 79 of the 2022/2023 Annual Catalogue that launches tomorrow. So I designed four cards for the IDEAS Tutorial Bundle PDF, and a fifth for today’s final sneak peek. The products in this suite really make it easy to create masculine / gender neutral projects like today's ... VIEW POST
IDEAS Blog Hop: Honeybee Home
It’s the first Monday of the month and that means it’s time for another IDEAS blog hop. This month our theme is “cards that move” and fifteen of us have taken part. I decided to create my project using the Honeybee Home Stamp Set and coordinating Honeybee Blooms Dies. In the IDEAS Tutorial Bundle PDF my card has a double pop-up mechanism inside. Here on my blog there's a coordinating standard card. For both projects I opted to use Stampin’ Blends in Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil ... VIEW POST
