It’s the first Friday of the month and that means it’s time for another A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop. This month we’re having fun creating alternate projects using the January 2023 kit called Key To My Heart. While the timing is perfect for Valentine’s Day, the kit is also great for other love events. For my alternate projects I started with a simple “I love you” card. Then using the Heart Boxes add-on kit and Happy Labels Stamp Set and Punch I created a couple of sweet treat boxes. HEART ... VIEW POST
IDEAS Blog Hop: Sun Prints Suite
It’s the first Wednesday of the month and that means it’s time for another IDEAS blog hop. This month our theme is “That’s so suite of you”. The entire team have designed projects using not just coordinating stamps and dies (or punch), but other coordinating items too. Many of the team picked their favourite product suite from the January to April Mini Catalogue. Me? Well you know I like to be different, so my projects focus on the Sun Prints Suite from pages 90 and 91 of the Annual ... VIEW POST
Inspired 24 Times Over
Oh my goodness what a weekend I’ve had and it stretched right into Monday! On Saturday I attended my first craft fair of the season at Wentworth, Nova Scotia. Then on Sunday I started my delayed World Cardmaking Day challenge. This is where I challenge myself to design and make 24 different cards in 24 hours. It was close, but I made it with minutes to spare. Each card will be showcased here over the coming weeks, starting today with number 7 of 24, using the Inspired Thoughts Stamp ... VIEW POST
Snowflake Softness
As an avid paper crafter you could say I’ve made a lot of Christmas cards. Recently I’ve been looking back at photos and it’s fair to say that most of them are quite ‘safe’ designs. By that I mean simple folds making the most of patterned paper, stamps and occasionally, dies. Today I decided to be a bit more adventurous and take the Snowflake 12” x 12” Specialty Vellum as my inspiration. The pack contains three different snowflake designs and this project is all about the soft white ‘flocked’ ... VIEW POST
Sun Prints In Grey
It’s warm, the sun is shining and my to do list is full of fun stuff. It’s going to be a great day. One of my ‘tasks’ is to go through some prints that my daughter took and sent to me recently. All are of her family, but it was a black and white photo that immediately caught my eye. I’d seen this picture of my twin granddaughters when she first took it last year. Today my plan was to use it on a scrapbook page for my family album. SUN PRINTS BACKGROUND My initial idea was to use a ... VIEW POST
Hippo Fun Time
Oh my goodness have you seen the Hippo Dies that you can get for free right now with a $60 order? I got mine at the same time as the coordinating Hippest Hippos Stamp Set (another of the free choices with a $60 order). Obviously I planned to use them together, well it made sense really, but after making today’s card I may have to change that plan. You see while the set cuts out the three hippo images, there’s another 16 dies to use in so many other ways. LAYERING DIORAMA As soon as I saw ... VIEW POST
