Create this gold and vanilla "For you" gift tag using the Sentimental Swirls Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Sentimental Parting

June 9, 2022 Leave a Comment

Even though we’re only just into the second week of the Last Chance promotion with Stampin’ Up! some things have already sold out. As an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator I’m able to see the changing stock levels, and many more retiring products are showing as “low inventory”. One of the stamp sets that’s almost gone is Sentimental Swirls. I especially like this set for the decorative swirls which gives the stamp set its name. So today I couldn’t resist making one final project using heat ... VIEW POST

Pillowbox For Valentine’s & Weddings

January 10, 2022 Leave a Comment

If you're a regular follower of my blog you may remember a Christmas favour I created using the Pretty Pillow Box Dies. I was very late to the party with these dies and have been kicking myself for not getting them sooner. My Christmas pillowbox featured a simple poinsettia embellishment using just dies from the set. Today however I decided to create a treat / favour box for Valentine's day or a wedding. For the heart embellishments I needed to grab some dies from a second set, Give It A ... VIEW POST

One Last Little Treat Box Project

December 17, 2020 Leave a Comment

One of the problems with the Mini Catalogues is that it's really easy to think certain products can only be useful in certain seasons. Take the Little Treat Box Dies for instance, you may thinks they're really for Halloween or Christmas treats, but they ca be so much more. Today's project was inspired by thoughts of Valentine's Day or a dramatic wedding colour scheme. SCRIPTY EMBOSSING In my previous projects using the Little Treat Box Dies I've tried different techniques: a ... VIEW POST

Blending Something Old With Something New

December 15, 2020 Leave a Comment

With Christmas just ten days away hopefully most people are nearly done with their seasonal crafting and looking ahead. So today I decided to create a Valentine or wedding gift tag. My original plan was to continue to showcase products that are retiring and now only available while stocks last. But somewhere along the way a couple of new products crept into my hands. So today you get to see a new ribbon and a new ink blending tool that will be available from January 5th. FANCY TAG ... VIEW POST

Ending July With A Gilded Sneak Peek

July 31, 2020 2 Comments

It's Friday, the last day of the month and I woke up with the intention of making it as stress-free as possible. I failed. My trusty laptop is getting old and I am faced with the prospect of replacing it. Not something I relish, as while I can probably transfer over my existing programs and files, I will have to get used to a new operating system. Not to mention the cost! Oh well, after 8 years I suppose I should have seen it coming. So before everything locks up again, here's a ... VIEW POST

Always Something New To Try

July 8, 2020 Leave a Comment

If there's something I've learned in my crafting journey it's that there's always something new to try. Take this morning for instance, I'd planned a simple background using some patterned paper edged with a little foil sheet. I cut a strip 1/8" wide as I always do, and then an idea popped into my head... What if I cut a slightly wider strip and embossed it? And the rest, as they say, is history. PAPER FIRST I actually started this project by choosing the very subtle Petal Pink ... VIEW POST
