Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back to Christmas cards today, this time with a commissioned card a friend wanted for her granddaughters. I saw the inspiration for this in a post on Pinterest, which I CASE’d (Copy And Selectively Edit, for the uninitiated!) I was really pleased with this finished card, which I think… Read More Christmas snowflakes
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m having a bit of a break from making Christmas cards at the moment, and sharing a card I was asked to make for a friend’s mum. I’ve realised it’s very similar to one I blogged last month, but I do love the ‘blossoms in bloom’ set from Stampin’ Up… Read More Birthday blossoms
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been busy making more Christmas cards, and love this ‘Arrange a wreath’ set from Stampin Up, with the co-ordinating ‘wreath builder’ dies.

The ‘coffee cafe’ set from Stampin Up was perfect for this card – I… Read More happiness is coffee with a friend
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m sharing a card I made for my brilliant dentist, who managed a very painless tooth extraction yesterday. I broke a tooth during lockdown and managed to put a temporary filling in it, (it was a bit like a crafting project!!) but subsequently developed an abscess. Dentists are now open… Read More Flower shop thanks
Welcome to my crafty blog. I decided to share a sympathy/encouragement card I made inspired by the design over at this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/ I’ve used the leafy heart stamp from Stampin Up’s ‘touched my heart’ set, and stamped it twice in dark green onto a piece of white card, reversing the… Read More Touched my heart
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve come to stay with my sister for a few days, which is lovely as we haven’t seen each other for over 6 months due to lockdown. The other lovely thing is that she is also a crafter, so I get to play with her stash! We spent today at… Read More Zany Zebras
