Stars at Night Bundle

Posted on November 7, 2023 by sharon

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing with you the Stars at Night Bundle from Stampin’ Up! In my projects I only used two colours, Lost Lagoon & Moody Mauve. These colours are gorgeous. How could you go past either of them?

Stars at Night Bundle is one of those sets that you just have to have in your collection of crafts supplies.

This bundle is absolutely stunning! Within the bundle is a hybrid Embossing folder which includes the dies as well. With a hybrid you can emboss and cut at the same time. However I have just used the embossing folder as it is gorgeous as you’ll see in my video below. This is my short video but you can also check out my longer video with all the instructions on my youtube channel.

Night Divine

Posted on November 3, 2023 by sharon

Today I am sharing with you some Christmas cards that you can create using the Night Divine stamp set and the Shining Christmas Designer Series paper from the Online Exclusives product offering.

These cards were originally designed by Ronda Wade but I have modified the sizing of them to fit our A4 card stock. With some of the cards I have created them in the US sizing and then adjusted them for A4.

Which card is your favourite?

September Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #58

Posted on September 14, 2023 by sharon

Welcome to our September Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #58. You may have joined me from M elissa’s blog or you may be starting right here with me. Either way, welcome to our blog hop for this month. I hope this hop inspires you to get into your craft room and get creating.

This month’s blog hop is a layout challenge. This was a fairly easy challenge and I used the Beary Cute Memories & More Cards with the coordinating Cards & Envelopes. It turned the Card inside out so that the white was on the outside as I felt the card front didn’t need any more blue behind it.

I used Real Red ink on the Sentiment with the Beary Cute Merry Christmas sentiment. This was very simple as I let the Memories & More cards do all the work for me in the background. I used my papersnips to create a banner on the end and then popped the sentiment up on dimensionals. And that is it. A simple Christmas card ready to send out.

Last Minute Christmas Gift Packaging

Posted on December 23, 2022 by sharon

With only 2 sleeps till Christmas, it is time to get serious about wrapping all those gifts and so I present to you my last minute Christmas gift packaging video 🙂

I feel so far behind on all my preparations and so I’m still wrapping gifts for my family.

Today I created 2 sets of boxes and decorated two bags that I had in my stash. The two sets of boxes were originally from Pootles.co.uk. Really simple boxes to make so you can create them with papers you already have at home.

It is also a fabulous way to use up all your designer series paper that you have been hoarding. Get it out and chop it up. In last weeks Facebook Live I showed you how to create some gift card holders and I used up some more Designer Series Paper. You can check that out here.

Today was my usual Facebook live at 10am and today I showcased the Sweet Candy Cane stamp set and coordinating dies.

I had a couple of ideas of what I wanted to create and if you’ve been watching me in the last few weeks you would have known that I am needing A LOT of gift card holders for family. Well today was no exception and I created another one 🙂

Forever Fern

Posted on November 11, 2022 by sharon

Today I decided to create some more Christmas cards with the Forever Fern and the Christmas to Remember stamp sets. I wanted to show you how you can create lots of cards in a short amount of time. With Christmas only 44 days, we need to get our cards made and sent out.

So I return to the 4 Square technique creating 4 cards quickly and simply. I also created a set of 5 cards.

Trees for sale

Posted on October 16, 2022 by sharon

The Trees for Sale stamp set is in the July to December Mini Catalogue and is a lovely versatile set to create with. I used it in a recent facebook live and had so much fun creating projects with it. Unfortunately the audio wasn’t good on my facebook live but I did create a quick video where I have sped up the video for you. I was inspired by a few other designs including ideas inspired by CindyB Designs; Selene Kempton & Stampingala.

You can check out the video below and purchase any of the products I used in the links under Products. One of these cards was the inspiration for our recent Blog Hop Colour Challenge.
