It’s only a couple more days before we know which products are being retired from the Stampin’ Up! Catalogues. Inevitably, looking forward also has me looking back. I’m reminded of products that are already no longer available, like Stampin’ Sponges. I loved these and regularly used them to create backgrounds (although I know many people found them difficult to use). For some reason I’ve never tried to create a similar effect using Blending Brushes. But with the new Growth Takes Time Stamp Set I ... VIEW POST
Enjoying The Farm
Have you seen the Enjoy The Journey 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP) in the Stampin’ Up! January to April 2023 Mini Catalogue? I was immediately drawn to it for the scenery type designs which are perfect for many of my cards and projects. This pack is almost certainly going to be on the Retiring List next week so I’m making the most of every scrap. Of course with wonderful outdoor scenes I couldn’t resist grabbing the Peekaboo Farm Stamp Set once more to create this horse themed ... VIEW POST
Ink Refill Reminder
Whenever I buy a new ink pad from Stampin’ Up! I always add the corresponding ink refill to my order. They’re really inexpensive and it’s easier to buy the two things at the same time. As well as allowing me to reink the pad before it gets too dry these little bottles have other uses. I add 10-20 drops to a Stampin’ Spritzer with 70% alcohol, creating a solution that I can spray onto my projects. Or I simply mix some ink with water and paint like I did here. WATERPROOF INK I began ... VIEW POST
Daffodil Designs
Finally it’s time to start showing you products that will be available in a new Online Exclusives category appearing in my online store starting March 1st. One of the great things about this new category is that there’s no end date for the sales period! Some products will be reordered when inventory is low, with others only be available while supplies last. This will enable Stampin’ Up! to respond more quickly to relevant trends. Today’s spring daffodil project features one of three designs from ... VIEW POST
Owls Leaving the Nest Soon
Well we’ve made it to the middle of the week. Even though it’s been a busy one so far, I’ve managed to keep on top of everything. Now with the end of the month quickly approaching I wanted to remind you that Sale-A-Bration ends soon. In fact, by this time next week it will all be over. Even though I didn’t love all the free items, there was enough to keep me happy. So today I wanted to give the Adorable Owls Stamp Set one last outing, before it’s gone for good. LAST OF 3 OWLS The ... VIEW POST
Another Timeless Idea
So yesterday’s storm wasn’t quite as bad as we’d expected. Rain, then freezing rain, followed by tiny ice pellets and finally some snow. Today the forecast is for sun, but the temperature will remain below freezing. In my mind that means Mother Nature wants me to stay indoors, so I’ve decided to spend the day crafting. I have a number of Kits Collection kits I want to explore more, like Timeless Greetings. While I could create projects following the included instructions, it’s fun to experiment ... VIEW POST
