Simple card with gingham paper and "Every little kindness makes the world brighter" sentiment from the Waterfront Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #simplestamping #papercraftwithme

Addicted To Gingham

October 13, 2019 2 Comments

It was only as I sat down to write today's blog post that I realised my chosen Simple Sunday project featured gingham. I had exactly the same gingham pattern on yesterday's project and there's other ginghams on my desk! I may be addicted, but it could be worse, right? GINGHAM PATTERNED PAPER As you've probably guessed, I began my project with gingham paper (this one is from the Come To Gather Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack). First I cut a 2" strip of the DSP and used Multipurpose ... VIEW POST

Card featuring trees in autumn colours from the Waterfront Stamp Set, with wishing you brighter days sentiment from the Beautiful You Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Autumn Colours By The Waterfront

September 17, 2018 10 Comments

For the past few days I've managed to resist the urge to make Christmas projects and I've succeeded again today.  This week the What Will You Stamp? challenge Design Team have been working on WWYS186 - Waterfront.  Oh I did think about using the fir trees in a snowy background, but instead went with autumn colours. THE BACKGROUND I began by preparing the background for my scene on a layer of Very Vanilla Card. Starting with the Z-shaped stamp from the Waterfront Stamp Set inked up using ... VIEW POST

Special days, special people

At the beginning of June our daughter was married in Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands, about 150 miles off the west coast of Morocco.  The volcanic landscape reminded me so much of images in the Waterfront Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! that I came home determined to use the set to create some very special mementos. Before we left, I sent hubby out onto the beach to collect some small pebbles of the lava rock and we added that to some shells, pearls, silk flowers and jute rope that our ... VIEW POST

This Little Piggy

July 18, 2018 6 Comments

This Little Piggy Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! is so cute, with an assortment of line art pig images and a variety of sweet sayings.  Sadly though it's been sitting unloved on my shelf for far too long and this week's Global Design Project challenge #GDP147 - Country / Farm Life gave me just the excuse I needed to ink it up again. For my colour scheme I thought I'd draw my inspiration from this week's Clean and Simple, Colours & Sketches challenge CAS281 - Colours.  The colours I had to ... VIEW POST

Another tropical escape

July 10, 2018 2 Comments

Like many of you I've been glued to the news about the 12 boys and their soccer coach trapped deep inside a flooded cave system in Thailand.  Over the past two days 8 boys have been rescued, and as I write this post the process of getting the remaining 5 people out is already underway. This drama has captured the attention of the world and there are hundreds of people involved in helping to ensure that this story has a happy ending.  Some have travelled from across the globe to assist the ...
