Be Mine Stitched Framelits Sneak Peek

December 31, 2018 2 Comments

Today's What Will You Stamp? Challenge is WWYS201 - Spirited Snowmen. It's a stamp set that is retiring on January 2nd but is currently still available to purchase. I love the set, but for my WWYS Design Team project thought I'd move away from the predictable winter theme. So instead I made a friendship / Valentine's card with a sneak peek of the Stitched Be Mine Dies. FIRST THINGS FIRST I began my project with a piece of Thick Whisper White Card cut and scored using my Stampin' ... VIEW POST

Christmas card with sparkling poinsettia embellishment created using the Detailed Poinsettia Thinlits Dies and Stampin' Blends alcohol markers from Stampin' Up!

Sparkling Poinsettia

October 12, 2018 4 Comments

During my personal 24 cards in 24 hours challenge I tried a new (to me) technique using Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.  The idea is to give the illusion of coloured Glimmer Paper by colouring on an acetate overlay.  On my project I created a Christmas card featuring a sparkling poinsettia using the Detailed Poinsettia Thinlits Dies.  I was reasonably happy with the results considering I was working against the clock, but there are a few things I'd do differently next time. SPARKLING ... VIEW POST

Masculine birthday card using Wood Textures DSP, Basket Weave Dynamic Embossing Folder and Perennial Birthday Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Dynamic Embossing On DSP

September 29, 2018 2 Comments

So this morning I had an idea.  I experimented a few days ago with a double-inking technique on the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder® and was really pleased with the results.  Today I had an idea to try using a different Dynamic embossing folder on DSP to see how that worked.  So I pulled out one I haven't used in ages, Basket Weave, and accidentally made a masculine birthday card.  Not that I'm complaining! BASKET WEAVE DYNAMIC EMBOSSING FOLDER The point about the ... VIEW POST

Masculine birthday card using the eclipse technique with tree rings design from the Wood Textures DSP from Stampin' Up!

Tree Rings and Eclipse Technique

September 21, 2018 2 Comments

I had another one of those craft mornings today.  You know, start off with a plan and end up doing something completely different.  I'd planned to make a birthday card using die-cut leaves and flowers.  I ended up making a masculine card using the eclipse technique, which I'd seen but never tried before. ECLIPSE TECHNIQUE PART 1 Basically, in the eclipse technique you die cut a shape from a background.  Then you stick the shape back over the hole but lifted up, for example on Stampin' ... VIEW POST

You make me happy card with a watercoloured image from The This Little Piggy Stamp Set and background panel using the Buffalo Check background Stamp from Stampin' Up!

This Little Piggy Is Happy

September 15, 2018 2 Comments

While there's lots of lovely new things in the Stampin' Up! 2018 Holiday Catalogue I try not to forget what I already have.  As a crafter I always look at the way new things might complement existing tools and materials in my studio.  The Buffalo Check background stamp was a bit of a no-brainer of course.  A simple, classic check design that could be stamped in any number of colours.  Today I paired the This Little Piggy Stamp Set with an interesting variation on the check pattern. THIS ... VIEW POST

Best Mum ever card created using the Apron of Love, Letter Board Messages and Signs of Santa Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up!

Apron of Love Revisited

September 7, 2018 Leave a Comment

My regular blog followers will know that I love to get the maximum use out of my crafting budget.  So when I saw the Signs of Santa Stamp Set I immediately thought of, Mother's Day!  Of course I'd need a little help from some other stamp sets, and soon I had what I needed.  With Apron of Love and Letter Board Messages from the 2018/2019 Annual Catalogue, I was good to go. THE BASICS Beginning with a piece of Thick Very Vanilla Card, I cut and scored it using my Stampin' Trimmer.  Then I ... VIEW POST
