Jill & Gez Go Crafting with Stampin Up 2nd March



Just in case you are new to my blog let me introduce Jill (Paper Daisy Crafting) she is on the right of this photo (I am on the left). She has a lovely Blog which I am sure you will want to check out.


As we have just today and tomorrow left of Sale-A-Bration I thought I would share with you some of the projects Jill has made using these FREE products. I have picked 3 projects using the lovely free DSP Dainty Flowers. I just love this paper and have used an entire pack and have another on it's way to me! 

Project 1

Jill & Gez Go Crafting 27th Feb 2023


First up is this lovely card combining the paper with the Brilliant Wings dies to create this beautiful card. 




Project 2

Jill & Gez Go Crafting 27th Feb 2023


For my second choice we have this lovely personalised notebook. Jill has been making these for new team members who have joined up with the fabulous joining off that is on during Sale-A-Bration. 


Project 3

Finally this card shows both sides of the  pretty DSP with this fancy fold.  I think this is one of my favourite paper packs ever. 



I hope you enjoyed the projects I chose and I hope you will go and check out Jill's Blog.

Share It Sunday February Blog Hop

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

I am sharing with you today another #roxysweeklychallenge for this months share it Sunday blog hop. I have used the Dandy Designs DSP that is FREE with a £90 order in my Stampin' Up! until the end of the month (February 2023) so you only have a few days left to take advantage of this offer. The papers are colours that are not very vintage looking but I have had fun making them look more vintage. The sheet I used for this project I simply tea dyed. I got 2 hinged pockets from one 12 x 12 sheet ( you get 48 sheets in the paper pack)  These are a useful way to add pockets to your journal page but allow you to still see the beautiful page underneath because the pocket flips out rather than be stuck down. You also have a small side pocket on the other page so it is a 2 for 1.

#roxysweeklychallenge Floating Pocket Ephemera Holders Week 28 2022!

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Welcome to my blog, thank you for joining me today 😀

I have been binge watching Rachel's videos from Roxy Creations. She does a weekly challenge and I joined in for the first time last week. This weeks challenge was a variation on last weeks so I wanted to do something different. So I have gone back to last year and chosen this floating pocket ephemera holder. She used old cheques as the base of these pockets and I had just picked up a bargain digital kit from Rach and Bella Crafts of a selection of cheques so was the perfect project to do. I am so pleased with how they turned out and even had a go at the vellum and alcohol technique to age the vellum.
