It's been warmer here in Nova Scotia just lately, but rain and grey skies have replaced our usual vivid blue. Once again the weather influenced my choice of project and stamp set, but it's anything but dreary. So with the 'wishing you brighter days' sentiment on the inside of the card, here's your morning papercrafting inspiration. THE COLOURS I began with a piece of Whisper White Card and the umbrella girl image from the Beautiful You Stamp Set. I stamped the image onto the card using ... VIEW POST
Square Wreath Tag
I'm sure I've already mentioned that that there's a definite autumnal feel here in Nova Scotia. Yes there have been some very warm days, but cool, almost chilly, mornings are a regular feature now. As if to prove my point the landscape has started to change too. Gone are the brash colours, and the palette is now more muted, warmer tones. It was this that inspired today's simple Sunday project, a square wreath tag. SQUARE WREATH TAG I began with a 3" x 3" piece of Thick Whisper White ... VIEW POST
Labels To Love Rediscovered
Even though it's only September, I'm having a hard time staying away from my Christmas stamp sets. I suppose it's because they're new, and sitting in a little stack on my craft desk. So I'm making a special effort to rediscover some of my older, but still available Stampin' Up! sets. Today my attention turned to Labels to Love Stamp Set. Yes I know it's got a lot of Christmas images, but there's others in there too. I grabbed the give thanks image with two little leafy branches and set to ... VIEW POST
Wink of Stella is simply beautiful
Confession time. I was very late to the party when it came to Wink of Stella Glitter Brushes. I'd come across them in some craft stores but never actually bought one. I suppose at the time I must have thought they were a bit like glitter glue which I had no use for. Of course once a friend let me try her Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, I was hooked. Today is Monday and that means it's time for another What Will You Stamp? Challenge. This week the challenge is WWYS181 Lilypad Lake, ... VIEW POST
Window treatments
Last month in my blog post Stained glass, I showed you a bookmark created using some of the amazing Graceful Glass 6" x 6" Designer Vellum. On that occasion I coloured the image using Stampin' Write Markers but I thought it would be useful to do a little comparison. So for today's project I have two Graceful Glass Designer Vellum gift cards for you. Both gift cards started out with a 3" x 6" piece of Whisper White Card scored at 3", folded along the scored line with the crease ... VIEW POST
Stained glass
There's something very magical about stained glass don't you think? From elaborate church windows to simple sun catchers, I love the contrast between the bold outlines and the coloured sections. I suppose it was inevitable then that I'd be drawn to the Painted Glass Stamp Set that I showed you in my previous blog posts Fancy fonts and Bright and early. What I didn't show you though was some of the paper that has been designed to accompany the stamp set and other elements of the Graceful ... VIEW POST
