Hi Everyone
Crafting has taken a nice little up-turn now that home renovations have slowed down, and that is making me feel super happy and creative 😊.
As part of my organisation mission I have been sorting out my image and design paper downloads and it has been quite exciting to re-visit and fall in love again with lots of digital goodies - some of which are now very, very old .. .. .. but still very, very beautiful and of course there are the sparkly new ones that are still waiting to get an airing too!
Hence the title of this post. For as exciting as it is to come across new digital designers and their work .. .. .. I still love and miss my favourite designers from the past .. .. .. especially Pink Petticoat, who morphed into The Lovely Studio but are now nowhere to be found .. .. and of course the ever lovely DigiStamp Boutique who had the most gorgeous images but sadly stopped trading.
But all of their hard work and images / sentiments and design papers I have accumulated over the years are timeless and I just know I will be using them always.
So as the old saying goes "make new friends, but keep the old, the new are silver but the old are gold" and today I am sharing a bit of the old:
This used:
Dandelion Clocks - Pink Petticoat (as with most things from Pink Petticoat the design came in lots of colourways which matched their patterned and plain design colour range)
Sentiment: LOTV Embossed Labels
Corner Rounding Punch
Ribbon
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Nail Heads
Diamond Stickles
No snow here yet .. .. and hopefully it stays that way.
Gorgeous card Jules, I love the colour combination. Thanks for the reminder that it’s good to revisit old crafty products sometimes.

What a great design. I don’t really do digi, but that paper is lovely, and has given me ideas for a stamp set I have. Stay warm! Xxx
ReplyDeleteLove the title of your post and you've certainly come up with some 'gold' in using this so pretty design paper. Best place for snow is on Christmas cards rather than disrupting everything 🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteHi Jules Happy New Year have a few of this company. Good to look back at old friends and my mum used to say fashions comes in circles. Take care
ReplyDeleteLove the modern funky look of these flowers Jules and the soft colour scheme. We’ve had snow all week here … too icy to venture out unless absolutely necessary! xx
ReplyDeleteGreat card Jules. I remember and loved Pink Petticoat too! We have certainly seen changes in the crafting world over the years! Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteJust lovely Jules. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas in your new home.

Beautiful card. Anesha
ReplyDeleteLove the beautiful colours and image Jules, hope 2025 is a healthy happy year for you Meg xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely design. How nice that you are revisiting past loves. I think it is a shame the way everything moves on so quickly these days. Love the tiny glimpses of ribbon, such a great little detail xx
ReplyDeleteHi Jules - another beautiful card and an image that I have in my collection.. yay!! I too miss PP and Digistamp boutique - perhaps we should start a petition to bring them back or chain ourselves to their gates??!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are able to craft more now - I can't wait to see all of your lovely makes.
Hope you have a fab weekend
Lots of love

Yes I quite often go back to the old, I use my snippets up doing iris folding which seems to have disappeared now! I not a great fan of die cutting too many fiddly bits as they get too fussy cut?
ReplyDeletePlus I can’t spot the heart on this one? But love the colours
Oh this takes me back! I loved Pink Petticoat and seeing your post prompted me to dig out some of my favourite PP designs from years ago. They just haven't dated at all! Love this pretty card xx
