best birthday

Hello crsafty friends. I’m back today with a card using the ‘friendly hello’ stamp set that I got in the last Stampin’ Up! Saleabration and so far hadn’t opened! I thought it would work well with the challenge from Inspire Create, who’ve asked us to CASE the card by Kate on their design team, together… Read More best birthday

a great wave

Welcome to my crafty blog and a first outing for a new set from Stampin’ Up! – ‘waves of inspiration’.

(‘hold onto hope’ and ‘gift of hope’) with the colour palette from the current challenge at TGIF. I started by stamping the wreath from… Read More Easter cross
