My second blog today! This is the second part of day 1 of my 12 Days of Clarity personal challenge. This time I’m using the January die from the New Design Club – a hearty heart aperture. I decided to make a card ready for Valentine’s Day in February – let’s face it, it’s an… Read More 12 Dies of Clarity – day 1 hearty heart aperture die
Welcome to my crafty blog. Well, I spoke too soon! Although I had finished my Christmas cards (and they are now all in the post), I got a last minute commission for a card with snowflakes, so here it is. I’ve got a bit addicted to kraft and white cards, so I’m afraid I went… Read More Last snowflake?
Welcome to my crafty blog. Having thought I’d finished my Christmas cards, I had to produce a few more today, when I discovered that I can’t count and was several short in my stash! This card was inspired by the current challenge over at The Paper Players (http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/) using a technique from a recent class… Read More Snowflake blizzard!
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s been a busy week, with not much time for crafting, but I found some time this afternoon to make a birthday card for a friend. I do seem to have a few birthdays to celebrate over Christmas and New Year. I used Julie Hickey’s ‘daisy medley’ and ‘fresh florals’… Read More Daisy Medley
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. Sadly I’ve had to make some more sympathy cards for friends who’ve lost family members in the last couple of weeks, and I turned to the ‘Forever Fern’ set from Stampin’ Up, which works for so many different occasions. The design has been inspired by two blog challenges this week… Read More In our thoughts
Welcome to my crafty blog. This is the first time I’ve ever posted twice in one day, and I’m now sharing the second card I made from a single die cut. Just to recap from my earlier blog, I started by heat embossing a piece of white card using the ‘Provencal’ shade from WOW embossing… Read More Christmas stag (part 2)
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back today with another Christmas card, this time using the Stampin’ Up ‘Peace and Joy’ set. I love the die cut words with the matching mounts in this set – they look so much better than mounted with a straight edge. It’s really feeling now like we’re starting to… Read More Joy to the world 2
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s Remembrance Sunday here in the UK, although many of the usual services and parades that would mark the day have not been able to take place. The poppy is still standing as the symbol of remembrance, though – they are the flowers which grew on the battlefields after World… Read More Remembrance poppies
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
