I love knowing that Stampin’ Up! produces dies to coordinate with a particular stamp set. The only problem is that I often get tunnel vision and forget to check out the extra dies that are included in the set. By that I mean the ones that don’t coordinate with a stamped image. So I’ve been on a mission to discover (or rediscover) some of these gems. This morning it was the turn of the Gnome Dies. But as well as making the cute gnome, there was an extra special surprise...

Gift Tag Surprise
One of my papercraft obsessions (apart from designing new projects) is not wasting materials. It’s for this reason that I love making bookmarks, gift tags and giftcard holders. These smaller projects use up scraps of card, paper and ribbon so it doesn’t go to waste. They can also inspire panels and layers for larger projects too, which is great when occasionally I’m faced with a creative block. So I couldn’t resist the Celebrate with Tags bundle in the Mini Catalogue and made this unusual ... VIEW POST
Snowflake Softness
As an avid paper crafter you could say I’ve made a lot of Christmas cards. Recently I’ve been looking back at photos and it’s fair to say that most of them are quite ‘safe’ designs. By that I mean simple folds making the most of patterned paper, stamps and occasionally, dies. Today I decided to be a bit more adventurous and take the Snowflake 12” x 12” Specialty Vellum as my inspiration. The pack contains three different snowflake designs and this project is all about the soft white ‘flocked’ ... VIEW POST
Gnomes And Snowflakes
We’re into another mini heatwave with temperatures feeling like mid 30C courtesy of the humidity. So as before I will close the windows and curtains until the heat of the day has passed. Then this evening when things cool down a little I’ll open everything up again. Meanwhile I intend to spend the day playing in my craft studio. The first thing that came to mind was cooler weather, much cooler in fact. So of course that made me think of snowflakes and Christmas. Then out came the Kindest ... VIEW POST
Texture Chic Surprise
Did you know that in 206 days it will be Christmas? That's almost 30 weeks I hear you say. True, but think about how many cards you’ll want to send, and divide that by 30. That’s what you’ll need to make this week, and every week until Christmas. Of course the cards are actually sent ahead of time, which means we don’t have 30 weeks at all. So when I came across the snowflake pattern in the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper pack, I knew what I had to do. SEASONAL TEXTURE CHIC I have to ... VIEW POST
Snowflakes Are Melting Away
If you follow my Papercraft With Me Facebook page you may have seen a video I posted on Monday, filmed during the snowstorm we had that day. The highlight however was catching a pair of foxes playing in the garden. Normally they’re quite well camouflaged, but that morning with the snow on the ground they were much easier to see. Most of the snow has melted away now, but it inspired me to make one last Christmas card using the retiring Snowflake Wishes Stamp Set and So Many Snowflakes ... VIEW POST
