Copper animal print Friends Forever card created using the Happy Tails Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Happy Tails for #WWYS217

April 29, 2019 2 Comments

The four-hour event I held yesterday for Demonstrators went really well (even if it did over-run a bit). We made a total of five cards and five other projects using lots of new products from the 2019/2020 Annual Catalogue. I'll show the projects to you in future blog posts, but today I'm on duty as a member of the What Will You Stamp? Challenge Design Team. Our challenge this week is #WWYS217 - Happy Tails. I have a feeling you might see a lot of projects featuring the dog, so I decided to ... VIEW POST

Tea Together for #WWYS216

April 22, 2019 Leave a Comment

I'm so pleased that this week's stamp set for the What Will You Stamp? challenge will be in the 2019/2020 Annual Catalogue from Stampin Up! Also making an appearance in that new catalogue will be coordinating dies for this stamp set. But my Design Team project for #WWYS216 - Tea Together, uses a different die today, the retiring Celebrate You Thinlits. I started my project with some of the retiring Watercolor Paper and my Stamparatus. Using StazOn Jet Black ink I stamped the rose from ... VIEW POST

Flourishing Phrases for #WWYS215

April 15, 2019 Leave a Comment

It's Monday, and time for another What Will You Stamp? challenge. Of course as a member of the Design Team that means I have to come up with something to inspire you. The rules are the same, chose at least one stamp from the featured set and use it to create an inspiring project. This week the challenge is #WWYS215 Flourishing Phrases. So I decided to team that with a retiring stamp set to create a vintage-style wedding card. TIMELESS TEXTURES Although the challenge stamp set is ... VIEW POST

Birthday card with simple cake image and sentiments from the Piece of Cake Stamp Set with a background design of crossed spoons from Stampin' Up!

Piece of Cake for #WWYS214

April 8, 2019 2 Comments

When I'm creating projects for the What Will You Stamp? Challenge Design Team, I'm always looking to do something a little different. Today's birthday card for #WWYS214 Piece of Cake, is a definitely a bit of a departure for me, but I'm very happy with how it turned out. I started by cutting and scoring a piece of Thick Very Vanilla Card on my Stampin' Trimmer. I folded the card along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder to crease my card base. Then on the front I ... VIEW POST

Artfully Aware for #WWYS213

April 1, 2019 Leave a Comment

A quarter of the year already gone and thankfully now, most of our remaining snow. Yesterday we spent time in the garden tidying up and thinking about the vegetables we want to plant this year. It was so nice to be able to sit on the deck with our coffee and not need a jumper. Looking out over the bay I was suddenly struck with an idea for this week's What Will You Stamp? challenge #WWYS213 Artfully Aware. It's been far too long since I last created a sponged scene so I thought I'd video ... VIEW POST

Floral heat embossed card with You Are Loved Always sentiment, created using the Vibrant Vases Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Vibrant Vases for #WWYS211

March 18, 2019 2 Comments

This week's What Will You Stamp? challenge is WWYS211 - Vibrant Vases. I love this set because it coordinates with the Vases Builder Punch. What's more the punch also coordinates with the Varied Vases Stamp Set in 2018/2019 Annual Catalogue. So you may be surprised to find that my Design Team project doesn't use the punch at all! HEAT EMBOSSING The flowers in the stamp set are so pretty and wanted to focus on those for my project. I also decided that I'd use no ink. That's right, I ... VIEW POST
