My scissors and paper piercing tools tend to accumulate ‘sticky stuff’ on the blades, I use them a lot in my design work as well as in my classes. So it is not surprising that cutting pieces of Tear and Tape and trimming Stampin’ Dimensionals with my paper snips leaves a little of the adhesive behind on the blades. I rarely use my paper piercing tool to piece paper but I do use it a lot to pick up mini glue dots and Stampin’ dimensionals and to remove the backing paper from the Tear and Tape double sided tape.

Happy Halloween ~ waterfall card
Happy Halloween Everyone ~ we are due rain later today which might just put a bit of a damper for the trick and treaters this evening. But I have the sweeties (candy) ready plus my witch’s broom and hat that I put just outside the door to show the ‘Witch is IN!’ (seriously I do have them)
Today’s card is one we made during my September card class and is a waterfall card – I will have a video ready soon on my method for making them – so watch this space 🙂
Rooted in Nature – Sweet and Simple Guy Birthday Card
I shall say again, as I have many times in the past – making cards for the fellas in my life is always a challenge – and so it was for my husband’s birthday earlier this month!
My current favorite stamp set for fellas is Rooted in Nature, it has the perfect images without being too ‘fruu – fruu’ and sappy 🙂 Coupled with the Wood Textured DSP stack and the Leaves Trinkets it brings the woody theme together.
Tic Tac Toe Challenge ~Ink . Stamp . Share Blog Hop
Today I am thrilled to be taking part in the blog hop again, as you can see we have had a little change of identity but everything else will be the same, talented paper-crafters and wonderful ideas .
You will have either arrived from Laura Mackie’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month’s theme is a Tic Tac Toe Challenge! I have to admit I needed an explanation on this one, but once I understood I was really excited!
Cauldron Bubble – Happy Halloween
We are less than a week from Halloween and time for a seasonal card! I made this particular card at a meeting held by my Stampin’ UP! Mum and it was designed by one of my Stampin’ Sister’s Tricia. That is what is so fabulous about being a Stampin’ UP! demonstrator – we meet and share in craft that we love.
The card showcases the lovely products in the Toil and Trouble Suite. The stamp set we used is Cauldron Bubble and it has a coordinating die set called Cauldron Framelit Dies, (buy as a bundle and save 10%) which we used to cut the little kitty kat from the Black Foil Sheets – all available in the 2018 Holiday Catalog (contact me if you would like a copy!)
Happy Birthday Stampin’ UP! ~ 24 hour flash sale
Share What You Love ~ 700 Posts and 503 followers!
It kind of slipped passed me that I had now made over 700 posts on my blog! But much more importantly I have hit 500+ followers – I am so thrilled that you would all choose to spend some time with me!
Last weekend I hosted my annual FALL STAMPIN GETAWAY – I had the chance to spend the whole day sharing papercrafting with 20+ crafters. One of the projects we made was a memory book designed in collaboration with my friend Elly from the UK – who came over to help prepare for and run the day.
Soft Sea Foam Christmas
I know there is still some time before the Christmas holidays, but that time flies by so fast ~ who else can’t believe it is mid-October already?
So a little planning ahead is in order and today’s card is one I really love, using one of my new favorite colors, Soft Sea Foam paired with Mossy Meadow ~ not traditional Christmas colors I hear you say, but I do like to use contemporary ones.
Although I used a the greeting from the Star of Light stamp set the other features of the card are from the Sprig Punch and embossing with the Blizzard Thinlets Die.,,,, yep – embossing with a die – who knew you could do that?
