What a stressful morning I’ve had. I’m on my 3rd coffee and it’s not helping, please send chocolate! Despite planning ahead, technology let me down and I’ve spent the past few hours trying to resolve issues. As a result I’ve only just been able to finish today’s blog post. Still, I hope you think my first project and video using the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks was worth the wait. Of all the masks Stampin’ Up! has created in recent years I think the Artistic Mix set is their best ... 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 – New Horizons Suite
Here we are on the first Monday of February and that means it's time for another IDEAS team blog hop. One of the great things about Stampin' Up! is the product coordination.

IDEAS Blog Hop – New Year’s Resolutions
This month our theme is "New Year's Resolutions" which left quite a lot of room for interpretation. Every year I`m determined to improve my organisation and so I decided to create a perpetual calendar as my contribution to the IDEAS tutorial bundle PDF. With a perpetual calendar you write down birthdays, anniversaries and other events that occur on the same date each year. But unlike a traditional annual calendar you can keep using it year after year. My version includes twelve individual ... VIEW POST
IDEAS Blog Hop – Punch It Up
Today is an exciting day for me as I join the IDEAS Design Team in time for their November blog hop and Tutorial PDF release. This month the theme is "Punch It Up" and our brief was to create projects using our favourite punch. I could have chosen something that coordinates with a stamp set, but opted for something completely different instead. I decided to focus on the punch I use more than any other, the Detailed Trio Punch. SNOWMAN SEASON OK I know I've used the Snowman Season Stamp ... VIEW POST
Merci Chocolates For A Quick Treat
Sometimes its nice to say thank you with a treat. As a papercrafter I think it's even nicer to say thank you with a treat that's in a pretty package. So when I found a box of Merci chocolate (the stick kind) I couldn't resist. After a bit of trial and error I came up with this quick and easy idea using just a quarter sheet of cardstock. MERCI PACKAGE BASICS I began by using my Paper Trimmer to cut a 2-3/4" x 8-3/8" piece of Soft Succulent Card. Then with the short side at the top I ... VIEW POST
