Keep on Crafting

During these uncertain times I think it is more important than ever to stay socially connected with family and friends. With the social distancing guidelines this can be very hard. Thank goodness for the internet and social media. Although we cannot socialise face to face we can use technology to communicate and connect.

 Like many others, I have cancelled all of my face to face classes until further notice. Whilst this is disappointing it is unfortunately out of my control and I am thinking of ways to keep connected and continue to share my love of card making and craft. I've been having fun in my craft room, creating online classes and content for social media. Today's share is three cards that I have created using one sheet of 12" x 12" designer series paper. 



I used the Flowering Foils speciality designer series paper to create three card bases by cutting a 12"x 12" sheet into 4" strips, then folding each strip in half. The stamp sets I used are Well Dressed for the images and Bonanza Buddies for the sentiments. Did you know that the Flowering Foils speciality dsp and Well Dressed stamp set are FREE products with a qualifying purchase? Simply make a purchase of $90 of more and redeem a free product.

Easy Slider Card

Hello and welcome back to my blog. How are you? How have you been coping during these difficult times? My life sure is a roller coaster ride, home schooling two young children, one of whom has special needs. Each day is bringing new challenges as we all figure out our new daily routines and how to navigate our feelings and fears. I am so grateful for my love of craft and Stampin' Up! it definitely is helping me immensely get through each day. It is such a great mindfulness activity and I look forward to my crafting time each afternoon. Today I am sharing how I created this easy slider card using the Bonanza Buddies Bundle. The stamped images and co-ordinating designer series papers are the cutest! Great for kids birthdays or for anyone really. They sure do brighten up your day. I found the inspiration for this card in the current mini catalogue. I love how the catalogues are a great source of inspiration and ideas and I always keep a pile of old editions on my desk to ...

First Frost - Freshly Made Sketches Challenge

Today’s card is inspired by another card challenge - Freshly Made Sketches #372. I was excited to break out the First Frost stamp set and co-ordinating dies for this one. I had purchased them before Xmas and have only just gotten around to using them. It is a beautiful stamp set and one of my faves as I love florals.    The Frosted Floral designer series paper co-ordinates beautifully, the patterns are so colourful and printed on shiny matte paper.  Other supplies that I used are:  Card stock - Tranquil Tide, Whisper White and Pear Pizzazz  Ink - Blackberry Bliss, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizazz.  Share What You Love Artisan Pearls in Tranquil Tide. I added some texture to my card base and front panel with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder, and dimension with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The fine tip glue pen was perfect for adhering the fine die cut branches on to the card base.  Purchasing the First Frost stamp ...
