Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back with another card that can be used for someone going through difficult times, and there are sadly too many of them at present. I’ve used the hydrangea from Stampin Up!’s ‘Beautiful Friendship’ set, and went for a blue colour scheme. Hydrangeas come in a gorgeous range of lilacs,… Read More Our thoughts are with you
Welcome to my crafty blog. Just a quick post tonight, with another sympathy card (I’m needing to make too many of these at present). I turned to an old favourite – the Stampin Up! ‘Flourishing Phrases’ set which is now retired, and used the colours from this week’s Color Throwdown challenge (http://www.colorthrowdown.blogspot.com) I started by… Read More Sympathy spray
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve now started making thank you cards, as I always need a number of them after Christmas (for which I’m very grateful!). There used to be a TV advert in the UK which I think was for Interflora, with the strapline ‘say it with flowers’ – so that’s what I’m… Read More say ‘thank you’ with flowers
Welcome to my crafty blog. Having thought I’d finished my Christmas cards, I had to produce a few more today, when I discovered that I can’t count and was several short in my stash! This card was inspired by the current challenge over at The Paper Players (http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/) using a technique from a recent class… Read More Snowflake blizzard!
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m sharing a card I’ve made for a friend’s birthday in a couple of weeks. I always find it tricky to make birthday cards near Christmas – I try to avoid winter scenes as they just look like amended Christmas cards, and flowers, etc, can look very summery. I went… Read More Beautiful friendship
Welcome to my crafty blog. Sadly I’ve had to make some more sympathy cards for friends who’ve lost family members in the last couple of weeks, and I turned to the ‘Forever Fern’ set from Stampin’ Up, which works for so many different occasions. The design has been inspired by two blog challenges this week… Read More In our thoughts
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back today with another Christmas card, this time using the Stampin’ Up ‘Peace and Joy’ set. I love the die cut words with the matching mounts in this set – they look so much better than mounted with a straight edge. It’s really feeling now like we’re starting to… Read More Joy to the world 2
Welcome to my crafty blog. Here’s another Christmas card I made, this time going for a bit more of a wintry feel with the blue and white. This card is pretty much all die cut other than the sentiment (which isn’t my usual style), and I used several Stampin’ Up! sets to make it. I… Read More Snowflake wreath
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s been such a busy week, and I haven’t had much time for crafting, but got my act together yesterday and had a crafty session with my friend Jean vian Zoom. Today’s card uses the Stampin’ Up ‘Coming Home’ stamp set and coordinating dies from the ‘Trimming the Town’ suite,… Read More Trimming the Town
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card celebrates one of my favourite shows that’s back on TV – The Great British Bake Off. I am a bit of a fan of all these competition shows and GBBO is a definite watch in our house I took my inspiration from the design sketch in this week’s… Read More Keep calm & carry on baking
