The design is inspired by this week’s sketch over at the Fab Friday Challenge (http://fabfridaystampinchallenge.blogspot.com/), and I’ll also be sharing it over at The Paper Players… Read More Snow deer
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back with another Christmas card, which was inspired by the current challenge over at Just Add Ink (http://just-add-ink.blogspot.com/). The theme is ‘Just Add S’, so I’ve picked up the shepherds in this great die from Claritystamp (plus the stars that I’ve added as well). I started by cutting the… Read More S is for Shepherds

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. Today’s card is one for a young person who’ll be celebrating their first Christmas this year – I thought the Claritystamp ‘Christmas stocking’ set would be ideal.
