Hello crafty friends. Well I’ve really stepped it up with today’s card – not my usual style as I don’t really go for fancy folds, but I thought it was worth the stretch for once!

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m posting a bit earlier than usual today, as I’ve got a last minute entry for Color Hues – I really wasn’t sure whether I liked this paper from Stampin’ Up!’s ‘flowering fields’ set when I first saw it, but it’s perfect for their ‘purple & green’ challenge. I’ve teamed… Read More tulip happiness
Hello and welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card features the ‘plentiful plants’ stamps and dies from Stampin’ Up!, inspired by Joanne’s sketch over at The Paper Players.

Hello crafty friends and welcome to another post with a card that is virtually all die-cutting (I don’t know what’s got into me!) I’d been pondering on the sketch over at TGIF challenges and then realised it would work with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘windmill’ and ‘tulips’ dies, especially in the pretty spring colours from The Paper… Read More a windmill for you
Hello crafty friends. Today’s card is for the speed challenge over at As You See It – make a card in under 10 minutes, with the theme of ‘staying dry’.
