Welcome to my crafty blog on a very grey and wet day in the UK. I’m so glad we went to the flower show yesterday – it wouldn’t have been much fun today with all this rain. I’m continuing on my floral theme, however, inspired by this week’s ‘flower power’ challenge at Global Design Project,… Read More flower power!
Welcome to my crafty blog and some more delicious strawberries! You’ve no doubt worked out by now that Stampin’ Up!’s ‘sweet strawberry’ set has become a firm favourite and it was an obvious choice when I saw the top row on Joanne’s grid for this week’s TicTacToe challenge. I’ve combined it with the colour scheme… Read More more strawberries!
Welcome to my crafty blog. I decided to have another play with a Stampin’ Up! set that I’ve struggled to get the best out of – ‘Hydrangea Haven’. Am I the only one who has some stamp sets that look great but I find difficult to put into practice? The current theme at Fusion card… Read More a single flower…
Welcome to my crafty blog and a new theme over at The Alphabet Challenge. We’re now up to ‘i’ in our alphabet and Dawn has chosen ‘insects’ for us. I decided to go with butterflies (after checking on the Zoological Society of London’s website that they really are insects – which they are!) Amazingly, there… Read More I is for insects
Welcome to my crafty blog. I needed a card for friends who are celebrating their wedding anniversary this weekend, and have fallen in love with the new ‘Artistically Inked’ set from Stampin’ Up! after doing an online class using it earlier this week with Joanne James. I thought it would work really well with the… Read More artistically inked anniversary
Hello friends and welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card features one of my favourite fruits – I do love a summertime bowl of English strawberries (and they’re also a ‘free’ food on the Slimming World programme!), so I knew immediately what I would use when I saw the latest theme over at Time Out… Read More sweet strawberries!
Welcome to my crafty blog on another sweltering hot day here in the UK! I sat in the garden to eat my lunch, but got too hot so have come back indoors. I didn’t see many bees around either – they’re clearly all looking for flowers that are nicely in the shade! Today’s card uses… Read More sunshine and happiness
Welcome to my crafty blog. I decided to pick out another Stampin’ Up! set that I bought last year, played with a few times and then haven’t used for ages – the ‘many layered blossoms’ dies. I think I need to get a better system going for working through all my stash so it doesn’t… Read More die cut blossoms
Welcome to my crafty blog. Here’s another Christmas card, inspired by a couple of this week’s challenges – Less Is More have declared it ‘Christmas in July’, and Just Add Ink have got a very festive inspiration photo. I decided to go with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘Peaceful Noel’ set (now retired), as I thought it would… Read More Noel
Welcome to my crafty blog, and another pansy! I do really like the ‘pansy patch’ set from Stampin’ Up! – the versatility with being able to create flowers by stamping and just with die cuts is so useful. Unusually for me today’s card has got very little stamping on it, apart from the sentiment and… Read More pansy patch
