If you follow us on social media, you may have noticed that four of us were together in Banff, Canada in the beginning of November!! My favorite comment on our post was one follower asking if we photoshopped this picture or if we're actually together!! This trip was over a year in the making and we had so much fun together! 

We spent a week together laughing, crafting, sight seeing and catching up! We also squeezed in a little time to plan for the year ahead with the Crafty Carrot. 

team announcement

Our dear friend Valerie Moody from the UK has decided to step back from the Crafty Carrot. We will miss Val's amazing talent (I think that I will have to step up my gift box and treat container game now that she won't be there to wow us each month)! Our followers from her corner of the globe are welcome to take advantage of our new subscription offer.

Recently we offered a subscription service for access to our online tutorial program. You received it with such success that we wanted to expand the offer! We now offer a one month subscription, a three month subscription or a six month subscription!

Quilting a card - #GDP114


Welcome to the Global Design Project Challenge #GDP114!! This week the challenge is an inspirational sketch ... 

I was instantly inspired to use the Quilted Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Paper! This suite of products has the most adorable coordinating stamp set and framelits. I have to confess that I bought way too many Christmas products this year and I was happy to discover that I can use these products for "non-Christmas" projects!





Check out this color combination pulled from this stack of paper! 

Click over the the Global Design Project to see what the rest of the design team has created. You invited to stamp and share with us all week long, learn more at the GDP!

Thank-you for visiting! Have a creative day!

wallpaper projects!


I have been been bubbling with anticipation to share today's projects with you! In October, Wayfair contacted me to create a blog post using wallpaper scraps! 


I have been a Wayfair fan for ages. What is Wayfair?
Wayfair is one of the world's largest online destinations for the home.

"Wayfair offers a zillion things home. With one of the world's largest online selections of furniture, home furnishings, décor and goods, including more than eight million products from over 10,000 suppliers, Wayfair helps people find the perfect product at the right price. Our extensive selection and superior customer service coupled with the convenience of online shopping, make it easier than ever before to find exactly what you want for your home at a price you can afford." - Wayfair



We renovated my stamping space a few years ago and I have one wall that I have intended to wallpaper - for years. This was the perfect excuse to bust out the wallpaper for the wall and to get crafty!!



I started searching for a wallpaper on Wayfair.ca and was shocked at the selection available! Wallpaper has come along way over the years. There is textured paper, paint-able papers, papers with shimmer/ shine, and just about every pattern and style you could imagine. Wayfair allows you to create inspiration boards as you search, I now have a wallpaper board and am dreaming of other walls in my home I can cover!


 create greeting cards with wallpaper



I selectively trimmed this piece of wallpaper to have the pattern on the card front, just the way I wanted. Imagine how many cards you could make with the scrap ends of wallpaper from your roll!

I layered the wallpaper with Stampin' Up! cardstock, stamps and embellishments. Scroll to the bottom of this post to see the supply list and shop my online store.


scrapbooking with scrap wallpaper


This scrapbook layout measures 12" x 12". My wallpaper piece is trimmed to 10" x 10". I used a photograph from a recent girls weekend away. Printing my photo in black and white really adds to the color scheme.

Needless to say, I have yet to wallpaper my craft room wall ... but it is on my to do list and I will get that done soon! If you are scrapbooking with you wallpaper scraps, imagine scrapbooking these photographs:

  • Renovation scrapbook page - before and after pictures of your space
  • Child's room scrapbook page - pictures of your child or their room
  • Baby scrapbook page - include pictures of the nursery or your babe! 


I blog because I love to create and I love to share what I do. I get such a thrill seeing my projects pop up on my Pinterest feed. When people like Wayfair reach out to me and tell me that they have visited my blog, it blows my mind! Just little old me, in little old Edmonton - my projects! Fills my bucket!

So a special thank-you to each and everyone of YOU that follow the Stampin' Dolce blog and social media. Your love, likes, Pins and shares mean so much to me! Muah!!!!
