Hello there – I’m back with an autumn birthday card today using the leaf die from Julie HIckey’s ‘delightful daisy’ set. I thought they’d work well with the layout from Freshly Made Sketches, picking up the right hand column from TicTacToe‘s grid. I’m also sharing it with Can You Handle The Pressure – I’ve embossed… Read More autumn leaves
Hello there. I’ve got a sympathy card to share with you today, using the ferns stencil & dies designed by Hazel Eaton for Julie Hickey Designs.

Hello crafty friends and welcome to another card! I don’t very often used a coloured card base, but it’s good to push yourself from time to time, don’t you think?

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.
