Stretch that Square Pillow Box!

Stampin’ Up!’s live stream event for Demos showied us how to double the size by joining two boxes, but I wanted to lengthen the size in one piece so thought you might like to know how I did mine. Enjoy.  It’s a tad longer than usual, so grab your favourite cuppa.  Here goes……….. Thanks for […]

Whistle Tour!

It was such a tonic to see my Card Club ladies last night.  Being able to share our brand new seasonal catalogue is such a BUZZ!   So no prizes for guessing what today’s video is – the clue is in the title!   I’ve managed to make one or two samples over and above […]

Pop up Letters Technique

I set myself a challenge to use the items on last week’s weekly deals and here is the result.  It’s been over 3 weeks since I got anywhere near my craft room – once a crafter, always a crafter so I’m high on pain killers and my ankle joints are now the size of  elephant’s […]

Birthday Blossoms hits a Brick Wall!

No – not really – just using the stamp set with our new 6″x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF for short).  Oh, by the way, I film my videos in batches, but published out of sync rather than in numerical order – so there’s that ahem – neon […]

It’s NOT just for tags!

Look at this punch!  It can be used not just for a note tag – I think one of my stampin’ sisters said that it looked like a grave stone, so it would be great for Halloween too! Remember these? Retired this year! Shock, horror!  What to do?  I found a way but one size […]

Pinched Star Box – Gift Bag Punch Board

This July Quarterly, my Inspiration Station topic was about gift packaging using new dies and tools in Stampin’ Up!’s arsenal.  The star turn, literally, was this particular box made using the gift bag punch board.  Other tools had to come into play too – our trusty trimmer and old faithful Simply Scoring tool.  I had […]
