I wasn’t going to get this set, but I could see that the set of dies which coordinate with this set could save me card stock and time in my quest for a one layer card. Having been stung in previous years for using dimensionals on all my cards and rising postage costs, I am […]

Halloween Countdown #Wk 3 of 6 – Spooky Sweets
I bought a “Hamper” of Halloween sweets through Amazon as at time of creating and filming this project, Halloween had not quite made it into our shops. It was pot luck in the hamper, so my choice of sweets was limited. There were some roles of “Swizlels Parma Violets” wrapped in a 7g tube and […]
Countdown to Christmas #2 of 12 Winter Woods – Wishing you Well
Week 2 of my 12 week Countdown to Christmas series is another flat card in landscape, keeping it as a single layer for easy postage. I keep saying this, so that if you’re visiting for the first time, it is good to know that the Stamparatus, Stampin’ Up!’s stamp positioning tool, is fabulous if you’re […]
Halloween Countdown #2 of 6 – Takeout Treats Bundle
These Takeout treat boxes are so stinking cute! They’re 2″ (5cm) tall and 2-1/4″ (5.7 cm) at its widest tapering down to about 1-3/4″ (4.4 cm) at the base. I love having dies which takes the brain work out of constructing a box and when you have dies which include labels for the set – […]

Country Home
I nearly didn’t get this set as there were so many other things that caught my eye in the new Autumn/Winter 2018 catalogue. At the risk of repeating myself, my hubby groans when he sees Christmas stuff starting to appear in the shops every year and I guess the same can be said for card […]
Making Every Day Bright and more!
Stampin’ Up! catalogues are a wonderful source of inspiration and I don’t use them often enough. You can always put your own interpretation of the same card by substituting it with different elements of embellishments or a different complimentary stamp set to go with the “main” event one. As I’ve said in a previous post, […]
