TRAVEL – WHAT TRAVEL?

After enjoying an amazing two month trip last year, I was looking forward to this year’s overseas adventure.

Travel does me a WORLD OF GOOD.

That was until a pesky little virus brought the world to a grinding halt.

So now I can spend time using the WORLD OF GOOD MEMORIES & MORE CARD PACK to catch up on some memory keeping from past adventures.

And, I decided that there was nothing stopping me from starting to plan for next year!

I used these two sheets from the WORLD OF GOOD SPECIALTY DSP to cover the front of these journals. The STAMPIN’ SEAL+ has such a strong hold, that cover isn’t going anywhere!

The BRASS FOIL SHEETS coordinate perfectly! I cut a piece of foil to match the size of the new FOAM ADHESIVE SHEETS so that I could die cut the letters and numbers, using the PLAYFUL ALPHABET DIES.

The 1/4″ FAUX SUEDE TRIM and a slide from the ANTIQUED CORNERS & SLIDES were an ideal way to make a page marker.

I finished off the planner cover by die cutting the quill and globe, that were also popped up onto the foam adhesive sheet.

Which is your favourite? I prefer the one on the left.

I’m looking forward to planning our 2021 trip – United Kingdom, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark (we visited Finland briefly last year).

Let me know what your travel plans are, after COVID leaves us alone.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make these travel planners. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.

LAUNCHING MY YOU TUBE CHANNEL

I learn so much by watching other paper crafters’ YouTube video tutorials.

Now that I have resolved my Facebook Live technical glitches; I was excited to be able to move onto recording, editing, compressing and uploading a video tutorial onto my TouTube Channel.

And, with that, I have taught myself how to: use Manycam to record my tutorial, use VSDC to do basic editing and add text, use Handbrake to compress the file and upload the tutorial in YouTube.

I am feeling very, very pleased with what I have learned to do and how my first tutorial looks. I know that I will sound more relaxed with each one.

Here is a link to this first video tutorial – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLYnCEfeL74&t=2012s

If you have a chance to watch this tutorial, I would love you to leave me some feedback because I want to refine what I offer in tutorials – what would you like to see, how can I improve what I present …

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

PRETTY PEONY GIFT BOX

I haven’t finished playing with the PEONY GARDEN SUITE yet. There is still so much to create using all the very pretty elements.

This time I made a 4″x 4″x 2″ gift box.

Using just PETAL PINK and WHISPER WHITE – super simple and elegant.

The PEONY DIES are great. You can just stamp and die cut the flower’s outline or cut the layers to create a 3D peony.

My favourite die is the scalloped emboss and cut die. I used it to finish off the tag on the top of the box.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping (and gift box making).

These are the products I used to make this project. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.
