Hello crafty friends. It’s proving to be a busy old week and I didn’t manage to post a card yesterday for the first time this year! I’m back today, though, with a beach themed card using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘friends are like seashells’ collection. I thought of this as soon as I saw the inspiration photo… Read More seashell friends
Hello crafty friends, and welcome to another card featuring die cuts – it does seem to be becoming a bit of theme for me! I’ve gone back to the ‘friendship flower’ dies from Julie Hickey Designs for this card, inspired by a few of this week’s challenges. The layout picks up the new sketch from… Read More summer flowers
Hello crafty friends. We’ve got a new letter over at the Alphabet Challenge with F, and it’s my turn to host so I’ve chosen ‘friendship’. This sentiment from Julie Hickey Designs’ ‘positive wishes’ is just perfect, together with one of the floral sprays from her new ‘bouquet of blooms’ set. I’ve used the sketch from… Read More F for friendship
Welcome to my crafty blog. Well I seem to be doing quite a bit of die cutting at the moment – today’s card features a bit more! I dug out my Stampin’ Up! ‘forever fern’ set, after being inspired by a post from a bloggy friend that used it. Somehow I’ve managed to combine four… Read More forever fern wreath
I thought I’d share a card today that I was asked to make for someone celebrating their 80th birthday. I’ve used Julie Hickey’s ‘beautiful blooms’ dies again but this time, rather than the small graphic daisies, I’ve gone for the larger flowers. I used the sketch from Global Design Project and the new 2022 Stampin’… Read More 80th birthday
Hello crafty friends. I’m back with more of the new dies from Julie Hickey Designs – this time it’s the turn of the ‘lovely leaves’. I thought they’d work well (with a slight twist) for the current sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and the lovely pastel colours from Color Throwdown. It’s a bit of a… Read More lovely leaves
Welcoem to my crafty blog and a first play with some of the new ‘beautiful blooms’ dies from Julie Hickey Designs. These graphic flowers remind me of the Mary Quant logo from the 1960s. I went with the combined sketch and colours challenge from CAS Colours and Sketches, as well as the left hand column… Read More beautiful blooms
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve gone a bit patriotic today with red, white & blue as it’s the first day of the long weekend of celebrations for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee here in the UK. Strawberries are a quintessential British summer fruit as well, and lots of people are having street parties over the… Read More strawberry picnic
Welcome to my crafty blog, and the last of my design team cards for Just Us Girls. It’s been fabulous working with the design team, who’ve been so welcoming, but I get to go back to playing along from next week! This week we’ve got a photo for inspiration, which immediately made me think of… Read More peaceful windmill
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card is a bit more full on than my usual style, thanks to the challenge at TGIF, where the team have given us the cover photo from the new Stampin’ Up! catalogue as our starting point. I decided to CASE (copy and selectively edit) it, using the ‘Artistically Inked’ set. I’ve… Read More floral congratulations
