Hello there! A fairly quick card this evening, firmly back in my CAS comfort zone, using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘Eden’s garden’ set. I went with the colours from Global Design Project, which I thought would work with the ‘leaves’ theme from The Paper Players (I don’t have any scarecrows!) Now I’ve looked at The Paper Players’… Read More Eden’s greeting
Welcome to my crafty blog and a colourful rainbow to brighten your day. This is a great quote from Maya Angelou and I knew exactly which stamp to use when I saw it was the theme over at Time Out. I’ve teamed it with the colours from the inspiration photo at AAA cards, and their… Read More dotty rainbow
Hello there. It’s been a very solemn day in the UK with the funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II taking place, and so I wanted a simple card that suited the mood. She was known to love life in the countryside, as well as being a committed Christian, so I went with a couple of… Read More peace within
Hello crfty frends. Sunday again, so here’s the next stamp from Clarity’s craft club last year – September’s ‘paisley’ image. I was looking at the inspiration photo at Inkspirational, and thought the paisley design would work on kraft card in place of the lace in the picture. I started by stamping the paisley pattern twice… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – paisley
Hello there. Well it’s not been the day we’d planned, as the queue for the Queen’s lying-in-state was still closed early this morning. We decided that we couldn’t go later as we are already committed to something tomorrow morning and the queue was forecast to be up to 24 hours wait. So very disapppointing. I… Read More poppy seedheads
Hello there! I still had Claritystamp’s ‘Tina’s doodle flowers’ out on my desk, so decided to make use of the dragonflies from the set for today’s card, thanks to the inspiration photo at The Card Concept (I know it’s a butterfly, but dragonflies are close, aren’t they?) I took the layout from Freshly Made Sketches… Read More doodle dragonflies
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card uses a Claritystamp set that I’ve been meaning to get out again for some time – Tina’s doodle flowers. It’s got lots of little elements in it, and those birds are just so cute! I thought it would work well with the colours from the new challenge at Color Throwdown,… Read More happy birday!
Well it’s time for a new theme over at Sparkles Challenge and Dawn has opted for ‘mushrooms & fungi’, which feels very appropriate for autumn. I had to rack my brains for this one as I don’t have any stamps with mushrooms or toadstool, but then I remembered a couple of pieces of an old… Read More Sparkles challenge – mushrooms & fungi
Hello crafty friends and welcome to another card! I don’t very often used a coloured card base, but it’s good to push yourself from time to time, don’t you think? I’ve really challenged myself as well by picking up the colours from The Paper Players for this one – I generally struggle with combining 4… Read More fresh floral birthday
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve got a pot of pansies to share with you today inspired by the photo at Just Add Ink, which I’m also going to share at Can You Handle The Pressure and Happy Little Stampers The first step was to emboss a piece of SU’s ‘starry sky’ card using the… Read More autumn pansies
