Welcome to my crafty blog, and another blast from the past with a card made using one of the very first Stampin’ Up! stamp sets I ever bought – the ‘flower shop’. I’m still catching up with all the blog challenges after my holiday and this card ticks another two from the list. I’ve gone… Read More flower shop thank you
Welcome to my crafty blog and another card using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘plentiful plants’ set. Thank you cards are always useful to have in my stash, so this week’s theme at Global Design Project was very helpful. I’ve used the colours from this week’s Color Throwdown palette, and also picked up the task from Inspired by‘s… Read More gratitude
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card has a bit more of an autumnal feel – I picked up the challenge theme of ‘harvest’ from Just Us Girls with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘painted harvest’ set from a few years ago. I thought that would work well with this week’s colour palette from The Paper Players The… Read More thankful for you
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses two Stampin’ Up! sets that are retiring soon when the new catalogue is released – ‘beautiful friendship’ and ‘butterfly gala’. I thought they both deserved an airing on this card inspired by a couple of this week’s challenges. The colours are from CAS Colours & Sketches, and… Read More butterfly flowers
Welcome to my crafty blog, and my Sunday lookback through the Claritystamp new design club since I first joined at the end of 2021. Today’s card uses stamp #81 – the thankyou line sentiment from July 2013. Clarity now do a few sets of these line sentiments, but I think this was the first one.… Read More Clarity new design club lookback – thank you #81
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been delving back into my stamping stash for today’s card, which uses Claritystamp’s ‘XL postage stamp’ outline, the postage watermark set (which I can’t see on the website anymore), and the ‘meadow grasses’ stamp set. I based the layout on this week’s sketch over at The Paper Players challenge… Read More A thank you stamp
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve now started making thank you cards, as I always need a number of them after Christmas (for which I’m very grateful!). There used to be a TV advert in the UK which I think was for Interflora, with the strapline ‘say it with flowers’ – so that’s what I’m… Read More say ‘thank you’ with flowers
Welcome to my crafty blog. I wanted to share a card I’ve made for a colleague who was very helpful to me whilst I was trying to get my pension sorted out so I could retire. This design would work for any occasion, though. I was inspired by this week’s design over at Freshly Made… Read More Lovely thanks
Hello and welcome to my crafty blog. It’s been a busy week at work, but I’m getting ready to finish next week and have another try at retirement after going back to work through these last few months of the pandemic! I’ve had some great colleagues, and wanted to share a card I’ve made for… Read More Two trees
Hello, and welcome. I’m posting a second blog today, with a card I’ve been batch making for a colleague at work to give out. She only wants 110 making to send to all her staff…!! Having to make such a large number meant I needed to find a design that was relatively straight forward, and… Read More Thank you ferns
