When I started making cards I didn’t understand why people added layers. It really seemed like an unnecessary cost. But as time passed I realised even the simplest layers added interest. That’s why I love Stampin’ Up!s commitment to colour coordination, it makes everything much easier. For example, when designing this card using the Rhino Ready Stamp Set I found a simple background design to match the ink colour.

Simple Hope & Prayer
It’s Monday again, and raining. Two of my least favourite things. The weekend flew by as I was at a craft fair in Debert, Nova Scotia. It’s nice to be able to talk to people about my papercraft passion and also get their feedback on the cards and other things I had for sale. Sadly the most requested items were ‘sympathy’ and ‘thinking of you’ cards. So for today’s blog post here’s a card created using the Hope & Prayer Stamp Set during my recent World Card Making Day marathon. HELLO, ... VIEW POST
Polar Bear Christmas Card
In my blog post yesterday I showed you a pretty little gift tag using a small scrap of Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP). However I’d jumped the gun a bit because I’d ended up with the scrap while working on my “24 cards in 24 hours” marathon last weekend. So today I thought it made sense to show you how to make that card. Believe it or not with some careful cutting I was able to create the card and tag using one 6” x 6” piece of DSP. BEARY CHRISTMAS QUARTER SHEET This card all ... VIEW POST
By My Side Revisited
Today’s card is another from my personal “24 cards in 24 hours challenge” for World Card Making Day. This was number 15, and the one that I created just before midnight, prior to taking a 5 hour nap. It’s been ages since I’ve used the By My Side Stamp Set and I have no idea why. I really love the three characters, each one with an animal companion by their side. The only issue I have is how skinny their arms and legs are, which makes fussy cutting somewhat challenging. ABSTRACT ... VIEW POST
Cane Weave Is Golden
Compared to many Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators I don’t have a huge amount of current products. Still it’s very easy sometimes for me to forget what I do have. So last weekend’s 24 cards in 24 hours marathon was the perfect opportunity to rediscover some old favourites. One of those was the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder used to create this masculine birthday card. In fact I used it to decorate the inside of the card and the envelope flap. But the highlight was seeing it shining in ... VIEW POST
Still No Easter Bunny
If you follow me on Facebook you’ll know that I’ve just finished my World Card Making Day challenge. Every year since 2017 I’ve attempted to design and make from scratch, 24 different cards in a single 24 hour period. Once again it was a close call, as I finished that final card with only minutes to spare. Over the coming weeks I’ll showcase each one, and today I wanted to start with this simple card created using a friend sentiment and pretty floral image from the Easter Bunny Stamp ... VIEW POST
