Hello crafty friends. I’ve been playing with my Julie Hickey Designs ‘dinky dies’ again this evening, having been inspired by a great class this afternoon with Marion Emberson of Sugar & Spice Crafts. It was so good to see everyone in group again. Today’s card picks up a couple fo current challenges: the colours from… Read More floral birthday wishes
Welcome to my crafty bloig, and another card using the ‘happy birthday’ stencil and star dies from Julie Hickey Designs. I’ve used the colours and sketch from CAS Colours and Sketches for this one – it’s such a pretty palette, although mine is a bit more muted than the challeneg colours as I don’t have… Read More sending happiness
Hello there. I’m sharing another Easter card today – this one uses a retired Stampin’ Up! set together with a current one. The ‘hold onto hope’ stamps and ‘cross of hope’ dies were some of the first SU products I bought, but they work beautifully with the textured stamp from ‘artistically inked’. I’ve used the… Read More Easter blessings
Welcome to my crafty blog and another card using one of the new stamp sets from Julie Hickey Designs – the ‘floral blooms’. It’s personalised, as my son wanted a card to give a colleague who’s retiring from work. I’m rubbish at starting from a blank card, so took inspiration from a couple of designs… Read More pink blooms
Hello there! I’m back with a masculine card today, using stamps, dies & papers from Julie Hickey Designs. I picked up the layout from Freshly Made Sketches and the colours from Color Throwdown – by happy coincidence, the ‘all weathered’ papers designed by Hazel Eaton for Julie had the three colours in them! I statred… Read More birthday wishes
Hello crafty friends. It’s time for another letter at the Alphabet Challenge – we’re up to Z and Caz has challenged us to use ‘zigzags’ on our creations. I’ve got a few patterned stencils from Claritystamp that I don’t really use very much, and remembered this chevron design that I thought would be perfect. I… Read More Z is for zigzags
Hello there. I’m back with another card using the new ‘daisy buttons’ stamnp set from Julie Hickey Designs. I’ve stepped it up a little from yesterday’s offering, but it’s still basically a CAS design. I used the colours from Inspire.Create (well, the nearest I had as I don’t have the Stampin’ Up! ones), with the… Read More birthday daisies
Hello there – I’m back today with another card that is virtually all made from die cuts (I’m obviously getting into the swing of this now!) This one uses Stampin’ Up!’s ‘windmill’ and ‘tulips’ die. I CASE’d (copy & selectively edit) a layout I saw on SU’s website and used the current colour palette from… Read More tulip windmill
Hello crafty friends – time for another Easter card today with hardly any stamping on it. I thought I’d have a play with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘daffodil’ dies – other than an online class with the brilliant Joanne James I haven’t used them other than to cut out the stamped images in the set. Time to… Read More a bunch of daffs
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve got a card with a difference to share with you today – I learned how to do this boxfold design in a recent class with Joanne James (aka The Crafty Owl). I needed to have another go at it as I’m planning to make it with my craft group… Read More Easter flowers
