tulip crescent

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back with a general birthday card today, using a retired Stampin’ Up! set – ‘lovely wishes’. These little tulip stems are so pretty and just perfect for spring cards.

hummingbird birthday

Welcome to my crafty blog. There seem to be a lot of hummingbirds around on cards at the moment, so I thought I’d join the party with this card I made for my sister’s birthday earlier this week.

starry birthday

Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s been a bit of a busy day today, so I’ve just got a quick card to share with you. I was inspired by the fab Julie Hickey – I joined her Facebook live class last week, which was about making your own stencils using dies. I didn’t have any… Read More starry birthday

rainbow flowers

Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card is something a bit different for me – always good to ring the changes. I wouldn’t normally use so many colours on one card (three is usually my limit), but this week’s challenge theme over at Just Us Girls is ‘rainbow colours’ so what else was there to… Read More rainbow flowers

Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card picks up a technique from Barbara Gray over on her blog, using these great new backdrop stamps from Clarity. You can find her detailed step by step here.

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been very excited as my order of new Stampin’ Up! stamps finally arrived a couple of days ago (there have been major delays in shipping to the UK thanks to Brexit!)

periwinkle wishes

Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m still trying to stay away from my favourite blues & pinks on cards, and today’s is a mixture of peachy tones and green. I’ve just got a couple of new shades of Distress Oxides, so thought they ought to have an outing. I’ve taken inspiration for this creation from… Read More periwinkle wishes

It’s all in the background

Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card is all about the background – it’s made with a single stamp from the Claritystamp ‘wild flowers nature’ set. The colours were inspired by this week’s challenge over at CAS Colours and Sketches I started by inking up the A6 stamp from the set, using a make up… Read More It’s all in the background
