Create this folded gift tag using the Framed Florets Stamp Set and coordinating dies from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Painted Florets

November 14, 2022 2 Comments

For today’s project I wanted to play a little more with the Framed Florets Stamp Set and coordinating dies. Painting with ink gave me a very different look to my previous experiments and I have to say I love it. I’m not a painter by any means, but it seems that the image I chose is very forgiving. Even the flower centres, where the colour bled after I painted them before the adjacent petals were properly dry, somehow seems to work. It certainly gives me ideas for a future project. FLORETS ...

"You're the G.O.A.T." card created using the Way to Goat Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Way To Goat Still Has A Way To Go

March 29, 2021 Leave a Comment

I'm always surprised when I see a Stampin' Up! Retiring List. Mostly because something is being retired that I was certain was safe. Today however I wanted to use the Way To Goat Stamp Set simply because it's not retiring. I must admit that I never expected it to be carried over into the 2021/2022 Annual Catalogue, but I'm certainly not disappointed. WAY TO GOAT My project actually began as a simple relaxation exercise. I find colouring stamped images really calming especially when ... VIEW POST

Autumn Wreath As The Weather Turns Colder

November 3, 2020 Leave a Comment

Yesterday was one of those days that reminded me winter is not far away. It was much colder, and the waves of heavy rain were studded with ice pellets. The very windy weather also made for difficult driving conditions and I was glad to make it home in one piece. This morning is better with bright sunshine melting the ice on the deck, and we have double-digit temperatures forecast for later in the week. Still, it won't be long before ice and snow becomes the norm. So today I decided to make ... VIEW POST

"You made my day" camellia bookmark created using the So Much Love Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! and simply coloured with Stampin' Write Markers and a Water Painter #papercraftwithme

Simple Watercoloured Camellia

September 12, 2020 Leave a Comment

When I have line-art stamp images with lots of open space I love to try different ways to add colour. Recently I've been a bit obsessed with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers so I decided to do something different for today's project. I know that not everyone is comfortable colouring, but I find it very relaxing. Today's bookmark features one of the camellia images from the So Much Love Stamp Set and 'watercolouring' technique. FIRST THINGS FIRST I began today's project by cutting a 2" ... VIEW POST

I’m Planning To Put My Feet Up, Eventually

Just when I thought I had a handle on the 2021/2021 Annual Catalogue another box of new goodies arrived! Most of these are from the new Stampin' Up! August to December Mini Catalogue which goes live on August 4th. While it's still 23 weeks to Christmas I know that time will fly by, but the new Mini Catalogue isn't just about Christmas. There's autumn, and Thanksgiving and Halloween all coming before then and that will keep me busy. Of course I don't keep the new products separate from the ... VIEW POST

Faith, Fun And A Bit Of Creative Luck

June 29, 2020 Leave a Comment

Yesterday's thank you card project was really quick and simple. Essentially all I did was stamp an image, colour it in and fix it to a card base. With that out of the way I decided it was time for another experimentation session. These are always a bit of a unknown event for me. I'll pull out some products and with a colour scheme or vague technique in mind I'll start to play. For instance this time I wanted to try an ink layered background to create a 'rusty' aged look. With the new the ... VIEW POST
