Do you ever find yourself looking at a product in the Stampin’ Up! catalogue and being unsure whether or not you like it? I know I do. Take the Fern 3D Embossing Folder, which is part of the Sun Prints suite. I had no hesitation in adding the stamp set, dies and paper to my Demonstrator pre-order but left off that embossing folder. However the more I thought about it, the more I came to realise my mistake. The all-over fern design is amazing, as today’s thank you card shows. 3D FERN ... VIEW POST
Brick Texture Adds Interest
Today’s card project comes to you courtesy of another design challenge. This time it was the Hand Stamped Sentiment Color Challenge that inspired me with a combination of three blues. Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point would normally result a sea-themed project, and I have to admit it did cross my mind. However in the end I decided to go with something much more geometric. It was only later that I thought of embossing the background. So that’s when the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing ... VIEW POST
Snowflakes Are Melting Away
If you follow my Papercraft With Me Facebook page you may have seen a video I posted on Monday, filmed during the snowstorm we had that day. The highlight however was catching a pair of foxes playing in the garden. Normally they’re quite well camouflaged, but that morning with the snow on the ground they were much easier to see. Most of the snow has melted away now, but it inspired me to make one last Christmas card using the retiring Snowflake Wishes Stamp Set and So Many Snowflakes ... VIEW POST
Celebrating You For An Anniversary
Every card maker needs a good set of basic sentiments. Over the years I’ve collected a lot of them. Mostly they’ve come as part of a set with images, but not all. My current favourite sentiment-only stamp set is Celebrating You. This set of 16 sentiments covers most celebrations, and the fonts used are simply gorgeous. They’re crisp and clear and neat (I'm not keen on many of the ‘looser’ script styles). Today I decided it was time to make an anniversary card, and Celebrating You was there ... VIEW POST
Doing The Hand-Penned Two-Step
I don’t get ill very often, but when I do it really seems to hit me hard. Right now I’m fighting off a nasty cold and sore throat and it’s given me a really fuzzy brain. Concentrating on anything for more than a few minutes at a time is a real challenge. Even my crafting is taking much longer than normal. Today I’ve made a thank you card using the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set and coordinating Penned Flowers Dies, with another example of an edge die you may have ... VIEW POST
A Paper Pumpkin Thing – Kisses & Hugs
This month's A Paper Pumpkin Thing blog hop is all about the February 2022 kit called Kisses & Hugs. Unfortunately global shipping issues caused kits to arrive late at Stampin' Up! and domestic mailing delays have compounded the problem. So instead of Valentines I thought it would be useful to show this kit's year-round versatility. HUGS FOR A BABY For my first project I thought the hearts and XOXO motif would make a great baby card. In addition, by avoiding the pink parts of ... VIEW POST
