Ahoy There Seaside Friends

July 8, 2019 2 Comments

All this hot and sunny weather makes me glad I live overlooking the bay. There's a nice cooling breeze coming off the water and I can see for miles. This was the excuse I needed to finally get to work on a seaside-themed frame that I've been thinking about. Mostly I've used products from the Come Sail Away suite, but there's some other seaside extras too. BASIC BACKGROUND The display area of the frame is a little under 12" x 12", so I could simply trim some 12" x 12" Designer Series ... VIEW POST

Sea Of Textures With Octopus Hugs

October 11, 2018 2 Comments

When I was working on my 24 cards in 24 hours challenge I tried to use lots of different stamp sets.  Even so, I was careful to ensure that everything I used was still available from Stampin' Up!  As I was nearing the end it seemed that I'd run out of time before I ran out of projects I had to make.  That's when the Sea of Textures Stamp Set called to me.  I thought a few extra arms like the octopus would help, and in a round-about way it did. THE OCTOPUS The octopus was my ... VIEW POST

Beach wedding – life imitates art

August 14, 2018 2 Comments

Regular followers of my blog will know that recently we attended our daughter's beach wedding in Lanzarote.  It's a beautiful volcanic island off the west coast of Morocco, and a place that's very dear to them.  Since then I've been working on creating special pieces to commemorate the occasion, and today I wanted to show you this simple scrapbook page. THE STORY For me, creating a scrapbook page is all about the story.  What do I want the 'reader' to get from this? This particular 12" ... VIEW POST

Birthdays by the sea

June 30, 2018 2 Comments

This morning's crafting session did not go as I had envisioned.  I had planned to explore some colour combinations that I've been seeing a lot of lately, bluey-greens and purples, and bright greens and blues.  It started out OK but somewhere along the way I ended up with a background that reminded me of the sea and that turned into a masculine birthday card.  Not that it's a bad thing, masculine cards are always good, it just wasn't what I thought I'd be making this morning. This card all ... VIEW POST

One of a kind

June 11, 2018 2 Comments

I've been trying to stretch myself crafting-wise and have started to create a list of all the different techniques and styles I could use in my papercrafting.  I've realised that I'm so busy playing in my studio that like the products I have, I often forget to play with different card folds etc.  In fact t was this list that prompted me to make today's project, a shaker card, but just to be different I thought it would be fun to create a notecard-sized one. The base for this card is from ... VIEW POST

All at sea

Oh my goodness have you seen the Tranquil Textures suite of products on page 154 and 155 of the Stampin' Up! 2018/2019 Annual Catalogue?  I simply love it and have so many ideas for projects. One of the first things I had to do was cover a boring notepad so I somewhere to write all my project plans. This simple cover for a 4" x 5-1/2" notepad started out as a piece of Mint Macaron Card cut to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored on the long side at 4-1/8" and 4-3/8".  The creases were then ... VIEW POST
