Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been asked to make another 60th birthday card – this time for a Formula One racing fan. I don’t have any racing cars amongst my stash, so decided instead to go with the Mercedes team colours of black, silver & green given that Lewis Hamilton remains the top British… Read More Formula 1 birthday
Welcome to my crafty blog and another masculine birthday card. This one has got a movie theme (I know, I’ve already given it away!) courtesy of the current challenge over at Time Out so I’ve gone with one of my favourite films. It’s such an iconic movie and I knew this Mini image from an… Read More The Italian Job?
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
Welcome to my crafty blog. After sharing some of my older stash over the last couple of days, I’m now back with a brand new set of linocut stamps from Claritystamp. These are not my usual style, but I decided to invest in a set anyway. The stamps are from original linocuts produced by Barbara… Read More linocut allium
Welcome to my crafty blog and some slightly unseasonal primroses! I love these three way overlay stamps from Claritystamp (they’ve got quite a few in their range now), although I do have to use my stamping platform to make sure I get each one lined up fully before I ink it. I can’t manage to… Read More primroses
Welcome to my crafty blog, and another quick post after a busy day – clearly I’m not very good at this retirement lark! I’ve used Julie Hickey’s ‘florals for you’ stamp set today – I love the contemporary look of these flowers and they worked really well with some paper piecing. I started by just… Read More dotty florals
Welcome to my crafty blog. Just a quick share today as I’ve got a busy diary – I’ve gone back to one of my all-time favourite stamps from Clarity, ‘Tina’s floral spray’. I decided to go for a different look, keeping the flowers in relief and making the background the key focus for this one… Read More sunset flowers
Welcome to my crafty blog and our new theme at the Alphabet Challenge. This time it’s the letter F, and Lynda has opted for ‘furry friends’ as the subject. This ‘birdhouse garden’ set from Claritystamp is one of my all-time favourites and I thought it was about time I got it out again. I’ve actually… Read More furry friends…?
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve got something a bit different to share with you today – I don’t normally leave my stamped images in black and white but I’ve used the challenge over at Global Design Project where this week’s project is to CASE (copy and selectively edit) the card designed by Emma. Part… Read More sending birthday wishes
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m firmly back in my comfort zone with this CAS (clean and simple) card today, using the ‘oriental vine’ stencil from Claritystamp and the colours from Less is More. There is a bit of a twist to this card, though, that has stretched me as this week’s challenge from Just… Read More many happy returns
