Hello there – Monday again and heading into a busy week, but I managed to grab a bit of time for crafting this afternoon. I’ve used the retired ‘beautiful friendship’ set from Stampin’ Up!, which I thought would work for a slightly different take on CAS Colours & Sketches‘s layout. I’ve also used the colour… Read More purple blooms
Welcome to my crafty blog. A friend of mine asked me to make a birthday card for her daughter, and this is it! I’ve used several of Julie Hickey’s stamps for this one, and based it on a card I made last year, although I’ve stepped it up a bit. (You can check out the… Read More floral heart
Hello there. I’m on a bit of a roll with Christmas cards this weekend – I batch made a load more this afternoon but took time to play with the poinsettia stamp & die from Julie Hickey Designs as well. I’ve used three current challenges to create the design for this card. The layout takes… Read More Christmas poinsettia
Hello there! I’d planned to post this card yesterday, but my internet at home has gone down so it’s had to wait until I was somewhere with a wifi connection! First world problem…! It’s another generic one with more butterflies, this time inspired by the colours at TGIF challenges with the themes of ‘tropical’ from… Read More tropical butterflies
Hello there. Today’s card picks up a couple of challenges that feature favourite things. TGIF‘s new theme is exactly that, and I’ve just got time to get this card entered into Inkspirational‘s ‘favourite monochrome’ challenge as well. My friends won’t be surprised to see that this card features shades of teal! I’ve used 3 Distress… Read More a card of favourites
Hello there. Well it’s been another scorching day here in the South East of England – the hottest ever recorded! I thought I’d make another Christmas card, in the hope that if I’m thinking about cooler days I’ll stop noticing the heat… (it didn’t work!) This is essentially a one layer card using Claritystamps, although… Read More decorating the tree
Welcome to my crafty blog. I needed a card for a friend who’s just had a baby girl, and was inspired by Just Us Girls‘ challenge of creating a rocker card – it seemed very appropriate. I’ve never made one of these before – there are loads of videos on YouTube and it’s very easy!… Read More baby rocker
Hello crafty friends. Well, here we are at the start of another week and the sun’s still shining here in the UK. I decided to use another of my favourite Claritystamp sets today – the ‘birdhouse garden’. I took the layout from the sketch over at Global Design Project and the colours from TGIF, then… Read More summer garden
Hello there and welcome to another card using the ‘linocut daisy’ from Claritystamp – I hope you’re not getting bored of these! This time the focus is on the background, which I’ve made using the cling film technique, thanks to a weekend challenge from my crafty friend Annie over on her Facebook group. Haven’t done… Read More take time
Hello there. Today’s card has yet another die cut on it, although it’s not quite as obvious at first glance as some of my other recent makes. Claritystamp’s ‘deerscape’ die is perfect for masculine cards and I thought of it as soon as I saw the theme at The Card Concept – I haven’t used… Read More deer in the park
