Welcome to my crafty blog, and a card with a stamp set I’ve only used once so far since getting it – ‘hydrangea haven’ from Stampin’ Up! This seems to be one of those sets that I really like the look of and then struggle to put into practice – does anyone else ever have… Read More the world is better because of you
Welcome to my crafty blog. The weather’s been miserable here for the last couple of days, so I thought I’d start looking ahead to summer and lovely bowls of strawberries & raspberries. I got Stampin’ Up!’s ‘sweet strawberry’ set earlier this year, together with the ‘berry blessings’ stamps in the Sale-a-bration and thought they deserved… Read More wishing you the berry best
Welcome to my crafty blog. Here’s the card I had planned to share yesterday – I missed blogging for the first time since Christmas as I had a day out meeting friends, which was so lovely. You don’t realise how much you have missed things until you can go back and do them again. Today’s… Read More butterfly floral frame
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back with a second post today, to share this card made with my brand new ‘floral foliage’ set from Julie Hickey Designs that’s only just been launched.

I’ve used it for new baby cards in the past (the eggs and nest are perfect), but today went for a birthday theme,… Read More bluebird
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses two Stampin’ Up! sets that are retiring soon when the new catalogue is released – ‘beautiful friendship’ and ‘butterfly gala’. I thought they both deserved an airing on this card inspired by a couple of this week’s challenges. The colours are from CAS Colours & Sketches, and… Read More butterfly flowers
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card is not my usual style – there’s very little stamping on it, just die cuts and designer paper. The main central feature is one of the fab round floral aperture dies from Claritystamp – this one is ‘periwinkle and friends’. I teamed it with a piece of paper… Read More framed florals
welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back with another card using the Stampin’ Up! ‘friends are like seashells’ stamp set. This is such a fun set to use – much more versatile than it appears at first glance. I’ve taken inspiration for this card from the current challenge layout over at CAS Colours & Sketches… Read More a collection of seashells
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back with another Easter card – this time using the current ‘Gift of Hope’ set from Stampin’ Up! I really like this little church image, which is not hugely dissimilar to my own church building, and of course the Bible verse in the set is perfect. I took inspiration… Read More gift of hope
