Hello crafty friends. Well I’ve really stepped it up with today’s card – not my usual style as I don’t really go for fancy folds, but I thought it was worth the stretch for once! Just Us Girls are looking for trifold cards in this week’s challenge, and I found a template for this one… Read More birds and bees
Hello and welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card features the ‘plentiful plants’ stamps and dies from Stampin’ Up!, inspired by Joanne’s sketch over at The Paper Players. I rotated the layout for my card (hope that’s OK, Joanne!) and used the colours from Just Add Ink‘s inspiration photo. I started by rubbing ‘pumice stone’… Read More thoughtful plants
Hello crafty friends. Welcome to another card that features quite a bit of die cutting, using Stampin’ Up!’s ‘tulip’ dies. This week’s theme at The Paper Players is ‘April showers’ and Time Out challenges have gone with ‘spring’, so tulips seemed an obvious choice. The ones in my garden are just coming to the end… Read More April showers
Hello crafty friends and welcome to another post with a card that is virtually all die-cutting (I don’t know what’s got into me!) I’d been pondering on the sketch over at TGIF challenges and then realised it would work with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘windmill’ and ‘tulips’ dies, especially in the pretty spring colours from The Paper… Read More a windmill for you
Hello there. Well it’s time for a new letter over at Alphabet Challenge and we’re back at the start again with A. This week Meg has chosen ‘animal antics’ – I’ve gone with the ‘counting sheep’ set from Stampin’ Up!, which I got in the Saleabration last year. I’ve actually CASE’d a card I saw… Read More A is for animal antics
Hello there. I’m sharing another Easter card today – this one uses a retired Stampin’ Up! set together with a current one. The ‘hold onto hope’ stamps and ‘cross of hope’ dies were some of the first SU products I bought, but they work beautifully with the textured stamp from ‘artistically inked’. I’ve used the… Read More Easter blessings
Welcome to my crafty blog, and another one of the new stamps from Julie Hickey Designs – the ‘daisy blooms’. This is such a pretty image – just what I needed for the new theme at The Paper Players and it worked beautifully with the colours from Just Us Girls I strated with a piece… Read More birthday blooms
Hello crafty friends – time for another Easter card today with hardly any stamping on it. I thought I’d have a play with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘daffodil’ dies – other than an online class with the brilliant Joanne James I haven’t used them other than to cut out the stamped images in the set. Time to… Read More a bunch of daffs
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve got a card with a difference to share with you today – I learned how to do this boxfold design in a recent class with Joanne James (aka The Crafty Owl). I needed to have another go at it as I’m planning to make it with my craft group… Read More Easter flowers
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today’s card uses the Stampin’ Up! ‘pansy patch’ set that I got last year – pansies are one of my favourite spring flowers, and I must start getting my plant pots refreshed with a few. I’ve used the colours from the current challenge at Colour INKspiration, together with the sketch… Read More thoughtful pansies
