A few weeks ago I was challenged to create a project using layout sketch as my inspiration. This was based on the card in the bottom right-hand corner on page 88 of the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. The original card uses products from the very Christmassy Tidings of Christmas suite so I was determined to make a non-Christmas card. With that in mind I selected the Peekaboo Farm Stamp Set and set to work. It's only now, weeks later, that I'm struck by a certain irony. What could be more ... VIEW POST
Three Stamp Sets For One Birthday Card
I must apologise for the late arrival of today's blog post. Today is obviously going to be one of those days where things take that much longer to get done. What's frustrating is that my birthday card project was done and photographed yesterday. But I've not been nearly as efficient this morning. In my defence I've had long video chat with my daughter and twin 9-month old grandbabies, and taken the garbage to the end of the drive in the snow. One very enjoyable distraction and the other, ...

On The Cusp Of Snowman Season
We haven't had snow, yet, but I can feel it's coming. I've finally had to give in and get out some warmer clothes, and the heavier quilt's on the bed too. It's now I start thinking that I'd definitely be happier if we could have the beauty of snow without the cold. I'm not good with cold, for me winter is more likely to be spent papercrafting than outdoors. Last week I created a few different projects using the Snowman Season Stamp Set for the November IDEAS Tutorial PDF. This latest ... VIEW POST
Nature’s Harvest For A Thank You Card
While I love bright colours, as some of my recent projects have demonstrated, I also like creating more muted projects. This is especially useful when you have to make a card in a hurry. My recent 24 cards in 24 hours marathon for World Card Making Day was just such an occasion. With the Nature's Harvest Stamp Set in my hand I needed something interesting but quick to put together. This was the result... NATURE'S HARVEST CONEFLOWER There's something about the coneflower in the ... VIEW POST
Peaceful Start To My Sneak Peeks
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
