Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s time for another challenge over at the Alphabet challenge blog and this week Helen has chosen ‘E for Easy Make’. Cards need to be a simple design, with minimal layers and no embellishments. I decided to go for a CAS (clean and simple) card as my design team contribution,… Read More easy does it
Welcome to my crafty blog and an announcement – I’ve been invited to join the design team for the Alphabet Challenge Blog! Huge thanks to Caz and the team for selecting me to join, and for the lovely warm welcome I’ve had. Today’s card is my first contribution for the Alphabet team for the new… Read More D is for dragon – and a design team!
Welcome to my crafty blog. I decided to have another play with the ‘friends are like seashells’ set from Stampin’ Up!, inspired by this week’s theme of ‘sea creatures’ over at Less Is More. I’ve CaSE’d (Copy and Selectively Edit) a card I saw elsewhere on social media using the stamps, and took the colours… Read More a get well seashell
Welcome to my crafty blog. I bought some new stamps in the Claritystamp sale a couple of months ago and thought I really should give them an airing, so today’s card uses a couple of them. The background is done with the ‘harlequin’ stamp and the flower is from the ‘snowdrop doodle round’ set. I… Read More snowdrop thoughts
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve got something a bit different to share today, with this card using the ‘sunburst’ layering stencils from Nellie Snellen. I discovered these through an online class last year with Marion Emberson from Sugar and Spice Crafts. I thought it was the perfect set for two of this week’s challenges:… Read More layered stencils
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m still trying to get all my Easter cards finished – here’s a final offering before it heads off in the post. I’ve used a Claritystamp that I’ve had for years – this is such a great little window scene, but sadly I don’t think it’s on their website any… Read More Easter window
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses one of Claritystamp’s three way overlay sets – this one is ‘hare in the meadow’. These are such useful stamps – the first one stamps the line art, the second fills in the image and the third colours the background. I like to mix them up a… Read More Hare in the meadow
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. I’ve got another spring theme today – I’ve decided it’s definitely on the way! No apple blossom in my garden yet, but I’ve seen a couple of blue tits in the last week (or maybe it was the same one twice…) I’ve gone with a couple of blog challenges for… Read More blue tits and blossom
Welcome to my crafty blog. This card should come with a serious sugar warning – and won’t help me get through those final few pounds to my Slimming World target, that’s for sure! Although I could argue that this is the low calorie version, rather than the real thing… I’ve resurrected another stamp set from… Read More keep calm and eat chocolate!
