Special Jacket & Tie For A Special Occasion

April 24, 2021 Leave a Comment

I'm always on the lookout for stamp sets and dies that I can use on masculine or gender neutral projects. So it's hardly surprising that I knew I'd have to get the Handsomely Suited suite. The Handsomely Suited Stamp Set and coordinating Suit & Tie Dies are amazing and I've had lots of fun with them. For the most part I've paired these with the Well Suited Designer Series Paper (DSP) which is part of the suite, or the In Good Taste DSP. Both contain patterns that are simply perfect for ...

Layering Ovals To The Rescue

April 15, 2021 Leave a Comment

Sometimes when I sit down to craft I know exactly what I'm going to do. Other times I just start playing and see where I end up. Today's project was one of those created without any real plan, and it was saved by the retiring Layering Ovals Dies. WELL SUITED It all began after I found an 8" x 10" brown carrier bag in my stash. It's very boring, but I remember buying it because I thought it was a perfect 'blank canvas' just waiting to be decorated. I'd been making lots of quite ... VIEW POST

Well Suited With Surprising Blue Florals

January 26, 2021 Leave a Comment

Anyone who's followed my blog for a while knows that I like to show the versatility of Stampin' Up! products. Whether it's a new use for a die or punch, or a new take on a stamp image. Today I decided to highlight one of the more surprising patterns in the Well Suited 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. WELL SUITED FLORAL Many of the patterns in the Well Suited DSP pack are stripes or checks. But this blue floral is a refreshing change that I really wanted to use. I began ... VIEW POST

Dressed To Impress – Paisley Style

January 14, 2021 2 Comments

Right now I'm having lots of fun exploring Stampin' Up!'s Designer Series Paper (DSP). Yesterday I created a fun gift bag in a suit and tie design using the In Good Taste DSP. As I assembled the project I thought about how taste in clothes and other things changes over time. This was never more apparent than when I saw the paisley pattern in the new Well Suited DSP. Once upon a time I really disliked paisley, but this pattern, I love. It made me want to pair it with a sentiment from the ... VIEW POST

Having Fun Designing A Casual Suit Bag

January 13, 2021 Leave a Comment

This morning my task was to create something that wasn't a card. I had a vague idea of using a small gift bag but nothing more than that. So I must be honest and admit that I've no idea how I ended up with this casual suit bag. All I can say is sometimes my best ideas come when I don't try to think too hard. FABRIC CHOICES After I pulled out the small gift bag I had the idea to cover the whole of the front rather than just add a panel. The Suit & Tie Dies were the perfect scale ... VIEW POST
