One week from today the new Mini Catalogue will go live, along with the second Sale-A-Bration promotion of 2021. So it's about time I gave you some sneak peeks of what you'll be able to buy starting August 3rd. I thought I'd start simply with some gorgeous paper from the Peaceful Place Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. SNOWY CABIN SCENE There's so many great designs in the Peaceful Place Specialty DSP pack it was hard to know where to start. In the end I chose the sheet with ... VIEW POST
Quiet Meadow With A Vintage Vibe
So this today hasn't gone at all according to plan, hence my blog is very late being published. It's not even as if I had a card to make, it was pretty much complete last night. All I needed to do was decorate the inside and envelope! I can't even put my finger on why I'm running behind, I just am. So without any further delay here's a vintage-style card created using the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set. MEADOW BUTTERCUPS I was inspired to make this card after I saw a comment on Facebook ... VIEW POST

Newest Treasures Are Now Available
Today has been busy so far and I have no doubt that it will stay that way for a few more hours yet. The Stampin' Up! January to June Mini Catalogue is now live for customers, Sale-A-Bration has started, and there's a new joining offer.

In the meantime take a look at this sweet baby congratulations gift tag I made using the new Treasures of Life Stamp Set. FOLDED TAG I began ... VIEW POST
Envelopes Have An Inside Too
Today my project features another retiring product, the Envelopes Dies. I was hoping that these dies would be carried over but sadly that was not to be. So I was determined to use them to show you what you might be missing, with a gentle reminder that envelopes have an inside too. FANCY PHRASES FLORALS My project actually began with the Fancy Phrases Stamp Set from the Stampin' Up! 2020/2021 Annual Catalogue. Using Tuxedo Black ink I first stamped the large floral image across the ... VIEW POST
