DSP Retiring While The Stamps And Dies Are Not

April 21, 2021 Leave a Comment

One of the things I like to remind my customers about is that almost all Designer Series Paper (DSP) retires at the end of the catalogue period in which they appear. This year, of all the DSP in the 2020/2021 Annual Catalogue only the In Good Taste 12" x 12" DSP is being carried over. For the most part I look forward to seeing new paper designs but there's one particular issue I want to highlight. This is that when a particular paper pack that's retiring coordinates with a stamp set, dies or ... VIEW POST

This #simplestamping card is all about life and was created using the Here's A Card and Hey Chick Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Here’s A Card With A Chicken

March 6, 2021 Leave a Comment

I don't know what it is about the Hey Chick Stamp Set that just makes me want to create. While the images are all cute, I keep going back to the chicken with the unruly tuft of feathers on his head. In fact that's pretty much the only part of the image used on today's project. And I found the perfect sentiment from the Here's A Card Stamp Set to go with it... "It's all messy. The hair, the house, the heart. Life" CARD LAYERS But before I set to work on the chicken I needed to decide ... VIEW POST

Vintage-style card with "Oh Happy Day!" sentiment created using the Poinsettia Petals and Many Messages Stamp Sets from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Many Messages For Every Occasion

February 8, 2021 Leave a Comment

Well the winter storm is still raging outside and a huge snowdrift means we won't be using the front door anytime soon. Still at least the power stayed on (so far) and I was able to complete my blog post for you. Today I have a vintage inspired card showing off the Rococo Rose Card and ink that will be retired on May 3rd. The sentiment is one of 19 (plus 4 tiny images) in the new Many Messages Stamp Set. I set 'set' but in reality it's just one large stamp. It coordinates with the Messages Die ... VIEW POST

"Newsflash" birthday card created using the FREE Approaching Perfection Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! (offer ends Feb 28, 2021). #papercraftwithme

Newsflash, Another Free Stamp Set Used

January 18, 2021 Leave a Comment

Even though I have a large number of stamp sets I'm always on the look out for interesting sentiments. So it was inevitable that I'd be drawn to the Approaching Perfection Stamp Set available for free during Sale-A-Bration. This set has four unique sentiments, in addition to "Happy birthday" and two images. I couldn't wait to use this stamp set and for this first project chose the "newsflash" sentiment. AROUND THE WORLD With the newsflash sentiment already decided, I first had to ... VIEW POST

Masculine camouflage style notebook decorated using the World Of Good paper and Campology Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! #papercraftwithme

Camouflage Cover For A Quick Campology Project

January 7, 2021 Leave a Comment

It's no secret that I love notebooks, and I love decorating them even more. The problem is that designs with lots of embellishments are not suitable for carrying in a pocket or throwing into the centre console in a car. For that reason I decided to decorate a notebook that would be more practical in these circumstances. So with a camouflage pattern from the World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack I set to work. CAMOUFLAGE COVER I began with the camouflage paper and a ... VIEW POST

Campology For A Masculine Birthday Card

December 27, 2020 Leave a Comment

Now that Christmas is 362 days away I feel confident in turning my attention to other important occasions. So it's time to start rebuilding my stash of birthday cards. Today's project is quite simple to make with a couple of punches and a bit of fussy cutting. But it all began with the simple coffee pot image from the Campology Stamp Set. CAMPOLOGY The Campology Stamp Set is from the Stampin' Up! 2020/21 Annual Catalogue and is great for masculine or gender-neutral projects. Although ... VIEW POST
