Welcome to my crafty blog and a calorie free cupcake -what’s not to like?! This one fits in perfectly with my weight loss plan. Stampin’ Up!’s ‘hello cupcake’ set was one of the first of theirs I bought a few years ago, and it’s definitely been a keeper. I immediately thought of it for the… Read More chocolate cupcake!
Welcome to my crafty blog. Just a quick post today with a CAS card. I’ve been leading a craft group this afternoon – such a lovely group of people to get together with but I’m always so tired after bring on my feet all afternoon! I clearly need to do some training and build up… Read More tartan trees
Hello crafty friends – yes it’s another Christmas card today! I’m using Julie Hickey’s ‘poinsettia’ stamp & die set for the first time this year (hopefully not the last!)

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m a bit late posting this tonight – it’s been a busy old day! I wanted to try out a technique I picked up at an online class I did earlier this week with Joanne James – using bleach to change the colour of card stock. I started with a… Read More a bleached leaf!
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s Sunday so time for the next instalment in my journey back through Claritystamp’s new design club. This week we’re up to November 2015 and the ‘acorns’ stamp (another one I haven’t actually used until now!). I haven’t made a card with a masked panel for ages and I thought… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – acorns #109
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m keeping it simple today with a CAS masculine card, inspired by the themes over at The Paper Players and Addicted to CAS.

Evening everyone and welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back with another Christmas card, this time inspired by the challenge at AAA cards. A ‘twinchie’ is a 2 inch square with all the card design contained within it – I haven’t done one of these before and it took a bit of thinking about! I… Read More Noel holly
