Nature’s Beauty Sneak Peek

August 31, 2019 Leave a Comment

It's the end of another month and we're edging ever closer to the release of the Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Catalogue. Today's sneak peek project is a simple bookmark using the new Nature's Beauty Stamp Set. PREPARATION I began with a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of Thick Whisper White Card, shaped at the top using the Delightful Tag Topper Punch. I wanted to create a subtle background for my deer image and so started by stamping it on the bookmark using Soft Suede ink. Then I stamped it again ... VIEW POST

Frosted Foliage Sneak Peek

August 30, 2019 Leave a Comment

After yesterday's marathon blog post, today's will be much shorter. I've still got a sneak peek from the Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Catalogue though, using the Frosted Foliage Stamp Set. WINTER BACKGROUND I began with another piece from the Feels Like Frost 6" x 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. I love this paper pack and you shouldn't be surprised it's making another appearance. I took one 6" x 6" sheet and cut 2" off the right hand edge and set it aside. Then I cut a ... VIEW POST

Feels Like Frost Sneak Peek

August 25, 2019 2 Comments

It's Sunday, it's a tad chilly, and it's time for another sneak peek from the Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Catalogue. Today's Simple Sunday project uses a few new items but I want you to concentrate on just one. Today is all about the Feels Like Frost 6" x 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. But first the project... CHRISTMAS WISHES I began with the new Christmas Toile Stamp Set, specifically the Christmas Wishes sentiment inside a banner border. Using Night of Navy ink I ... VIEW POST

Seasonal Thoughts and Winter Woods

December 21, 2018 Leave a Comment

My regular blog readers will know that I always make a few 'thinking of you cards' at this time of year. I know first hand how hard Christmas can be at times, having lost my son suddenly last year. Seasonal thoughts can be tricky, and not everyone wants to be told to have a "merry Christmas". Sometimes it's enough just to say you are thinking of them. SEASONAL THOUGHTS I began this project with the sentiment from the Winter Woods Stamp Set. Using Gray Granite ink I simply stamped it ... VIEW POST

Cracked Ice Background Effect

December 18, 2018 2 Comments

I'm in a hurry to get this blog post finished as we're under a winter storm warning and the snow's picking up.  All the schools in the area are closed so they're only expecting it to get worse.  Although it's only a week away, I was reminded that Christmas is not the only celebration at this time of year.  People get married, have babies, and birthdays too.  So I thought I'd create a birthday card today with what I can only describe as a cracked ice background. CRACKED ICE BACKGROUND ... VIEW POST

Cookie Cutter and more

November 27, 2018 2 Comments

November 27th is a big day.  It's the 5th anniversary of me signing up to be an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  I've had so much fun over the past 5 years and I cherish every friendship I've made during that time.  It's also the start of the final 48 hour online extravaganza promotion and I have a feeling it's going to be really popular.  This final sale is all about tools and inks so almost all the products used on today's project are reduced, including the Cookie ...
