You’ve heard me mention Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives range before. Over the past week I’ve used a number of products from this range which have never appeared in any catalogue (and won’t). However did you realise that this range also includes a few items that were in a past catalogue but are no longer there? These include two of the larger sizes of Circle Punches that were retired several years ago. But with today’s quick project I wanted to reaquaint you with the Warm Welcome Stamp Set ... VIEW POST
Little Daisy Bouquet
It’s no secret that I love daisies. They’re simple and uncomplicated and just make me smile. But while I was really sad when Stampin’ Up! retired their two daisy punches they’ve still left me with lots of alternatives. The most obvious one of course is the Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set and Dies Bundle. These are big and bold with lots of options for layering. Then there’s the smaller daisy shapes I found in the Dainty Delight Dies. However today’s quick project is all about the very tiny Loose ... VIEW POST
Bunny News And More
Now that things have settled down after the Stampin’ Up! 2023/2024 Annual Catalogue launch it’s time to bring you some updates. First I’m excited that the Easter Bunny Punch which has been unavailable for a while is now back in stock. Mine is on order, and to celebrate I used the coordinating Easter Bunny Stamp Set to create today’s project. Also a quick reminder to check out the Online Exclusives section of my online store as all 12 products ‘missing’ from the Last Chance List did indeed end up ... VIEW POST
Stylish Shapes
Last November I completed my annual challenge to design and create 24 cards in 24 hours. It should have happened on World Card Making Day but was delayed due to Hurricane Fiona. Since then I’ve been bringing you the cards I made and providing instructions for your own personal use. Unfortunately some of my posts had to be delayed as products I used became temporarily ‘not orderable’. This is what happened with today’s birthday card featuring the Stepping Stones Stamp Set and the now back in ... VIEW POST
Warm And Cosy
Ooh it was mighty cold yesterday. The outdoor thermometer hovered around minus 24 Centigrade for most of the day. Thankfully the arctic air has moved on and it’s warming up. Not that it will be warm by any means, but hovering around zero is a lot more bearable. Being the sensible person that I am, I decided the extreme weather was Mother Nature’s way of telling me I should stay warm and cosy in my craft studio. While playing I came across this simple card I’ve not yet shown you. WARM ... VIEW POST
Another Warm Welcome
Like many people in eastern Canada my plan today is to prepare for the arrival of Hurricane Fiona. Looking at the current forecast I am pretty sure we’ll have trees and powerlines down. In addition to hurricane force winds, there’s also going to be a lot of rain making for a very messy clean up when it’s all over. And if we lose power? Well I’ll wait it out in my craft studio. I may not be able to heat emboss, but stamping and die-cutting is a very welcome distraction! OPEN DOOR But ... VIEW POST
