Ink To Block Technique

Today I have a fun technique to share. As with most things in our wonderful crafting world, there are many variations of this technique that may give you slightly different results.

House In The Woods

A friend of mine moved to Cape Breton this summer. She and her husband bought a house on several acres of land, in the woods. Perhaps not to everyones tastes, but it suits them.

Plaid Adventure

I have been playing with some of the Plaid Tidings 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper in my recent posts, and continue with another pattern from that pack today. I love plaids, especially for the fall and Christmas, and this pack has lots of great plaid patterns to choose from.

Thankful

We live in very different times from just a year ago, yet some of the new crazy is becoming our new normal. It means we are all learning to adjust to our new world, some is not so good, but other things are better now than they used to be.

It's Here!!

The brand new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine is now available for you to order. It is totally awesome and cute, and I’m loving it. It is easy to use, all sandwich instructions are right on the plates, and folds up for easy transport and storage.

Masking Technique

Today I have an easy technique that can really add to your stamping. It is called masking, and if you are willing to do some fussy cutting (or die cutting if available!!) it is easy.

Hello Tulips

I was getting a bit caught up in Christmas cards recently, but wanted to take a break and do some ‘everyday’ crafting. I went to a stamp set I haven’t used for a while, Timeless Tulips, and it was perfect for my task!

In The Pines

You may remember a recent post titled Ridiculously Awesome. (You can see it HERE if you missed it)
I used a piece of Cinnamon Cider Designer Series Paper with a centre cut out. My card today uses that cut out!

Positively Friends

The Positive Thoughts stamp set has some wonderful sentiments that seem very appropriate these last few months. The Covid-19 virus has given many of us time to reflect on what really matters most in our lives, and sending a card can show someone how much you care.
