Have you ever looked at a stamp set and thought “what on earth is that?” If you’ve done that recently I wonder if it was while looking at the Beautiful Blizzard Stamp Set. It’s a really simple set with 5 lovely greetings and some snow and snowflake images. Then there’s two images that I can only describe as ‘splats’. So for today’s simple Sunday project I thought I show you one of those splats in action. My project actually began with a piece of Thick Whisper White Card that I cut and ... VIEW POST
North Pole Signs
With December 25th less than 7 weeks away, Christmas planning is really getting into full swing. Sometimes, though despite all the preparations, it’s easy to get surprised with the need for a last minute gift. When this happens a gift card in a nice holder could be the perfect solution. So for today’s project I created a gift card envelope with a North Pole theme GIFT CARD ENVELOPE I began by making the gift card envelope using a 5-12” x 5-1/2” piece of Real Red Card and the Envelope ...

Love Never Melts
My daughter loves snow, when she can mess around in it with the children that is. Driving in it, not so much. So she's always asking when's the best time to visit us to see snow. Funny enough I never say December, or January, I've found in my little corner of Canada, February is best. So when I saw the Spirited Snowmen Stamp Set and the 'love never melts' sentiment I immediately thought of Valentine's Day. Before I knew it I had made today's very simple Sunday project. LOVE NEVER ... VIEW POST
Blizzard of Wishes
Today's the day! The eagerly awaited Snowflake Showcase suite of products from Stampin' Up! is now available for customers to buy.

One of the things I love about this suite is how easy it is to create pretty projects without a whole lot of effort. With Christmas fast approaching that's becoming ... VIEW POST
Beautiful Blizzard Snowflakes
A few days ago I created a card with embossed and die-cut snowflakes from the new Beautiful Blizzard Bundle. I really like this bundle and the snowflakes all have 6 sides, which I know is important to many people. There's also some gorgeous sentiments (words and type-face) in the stamp set too. So I suppose it was inevitable I'd end up with a bookmark idea for today's simple Sunday project. OH SO SIMPLE SNOWFLAKES I began, as usual, with a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of Thick Whisper White ...

Beautiful Blizzard On A Frosty Morning
Ooh yesterday was chilly! We had our first frost and it was well into the morning before the sun melted it away. Luckily our tomatoes and peppers are in the greenhouse so I've still got time to harvest them. It was a reminder though that autumn is here and winter won't be far behind. I suppose it's only fitting then that I chose yesterday to ink up my new Beautiful Blizzard Stamp Set. This stamp set and the coordinating Blizzard Thinlits Die are simply stunning with a variety of snowflake ... VIEW POST
