Today's blog project comes to you courtesy of my fridge. As usual after getting up and having a shower I went downstairs to make my morning coffee. Often a project idea will come to me overnight but today my mind was blank. It was only as I went to the fridge to get the milk that I thought about a fridge magnet. I haven't made one in quite a while, so that was in my head as I made my way to my studio. I was thinking of using magnetic sheet for the base, but as I sat down I saw a large ... VIEW POST
Sponged Night Sky In Shades Of Blue
It's December 1st and winter has officially arrived, even though it's unseasonably warm. So inevitably my thoughts turn to winter weather and the beauty of freshly fallen snow. I don't mind snow when covers the lawn in a blanket of white, just so long as I don't have to shovel it. I think the snowman on today's project agrees with me. So I couldn't resist sponging a night scene in shades of blue and I swear it made him smile even more. SIMPLE PREPARATION I began my bookmark with a ... VIEW POST
Try A Simpler Way To Wrap A Gift
Do you give little token gifts to people who help you, or add them to children's stockings? It occurred to me that even though they might be small and inexpensive there's no reason why these gifts can't be dressed up. So today's simple Sunday project is more of an idea for a pinched end wrap. I thought I'd better show you while I still had this yummy After Eight chocolate bar. SIMPLE WRAP I began by measuring the length of the chocolate bar (about 4-1/2"). Then I cut a 6" strip from ... VIEW POST
Window Sheet For A Giftcard Holder
Sometimes I find a really pretty giftcard and it seems a shame to hide it away. So for today's project I decided to let the giftcard be the centre of attention. With the help of some Window Sheet, it really can become the focal point of a card. WINDOW AND FRAME I started this project with a basic Whisper White Note Card & Envelope. My plan was simple, cut a window in the front of the card to allow the giftcard to show through. After folding the note card along the pre-scored ... VIEW POST
Embossing A Card Base For A Change
Today's card is a very different looking Christmas card. I had fully intended to use at least some patterned paper but in the end the embossing folder won. The finished look is quite striking, even though my photos really don't do it justice. MERRY & BRIGHT It all started when I chose the "May your days be merry & bright" sentiment from the Toile Christmas Stamp Set. I thought it would look nice embossed in white on Night of Navy Card so that's what I did. First I stamped ... VIEW POST
Thinking About Seasonal Paper
One of the hazards of buying patterned paper in packs is thinking of the pack as a whole. For instance a pack of Christmas-themed paper gets overlooked when making a non-Christmas project. I always try to see past the obvious and make a mental note of designs that could work at other times. Take the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (DSP). Snowflakes are seasonal, not just for Christmas, so today I used one of the sheets to make a thinking of you card. CALMING SNOWFLAKES The ... VIEW POST
