Hello there! Welcome to my crafty blog and a new challenge over at Seize the Birthday – sadly, it’s my last with them as guest designer. I’ve had a blast and I’ll be back playing along from next month. Our ‘topping’ this time (you can opt for ‘anything goes’) is spring florals and I decided… Read More Seize the Birthday – spring floral
Happy New Year everyone! I’m starting 2024 with a design team card for the new challenge at Love to Craft and, as always, the theme is ‘anything goes’. I’ve been trying to clear out some of my stash box of part finished pieces and found this die cut using ClarityCrafts ‘art nouveau tulips’ aperture die, which I… Read More art nouveau tulips for Love to Craft challenge
Hello crafty friends. I’m back with another of Clarity’s Art Nouveau collection – this time the brand-new tulip stencil that will be launching on tomorrow’s TV shows (it comes in a double set with the snowdrops stencil). I’ve picked up the sketch from Inspired by to showcase it on this card and I have to… Read More tulip stencil
Hello crafty friends. I seem to be doing quite a bit of paper piecing into diecuts at the moment, so here’s another one, this time using Clarity’s ‘art nouveau tulips’ dies. I took the colours from Creative Colour Challenge and the ‘birthday’ theme from Time Out. Seize the Birthday have got a very interesting challenge,… Read More birthday tulips
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m posting a bit earlier than usual today, as I’ve got a last minute entry for Color Hues – I really wasn’t sure whether I liked this paper from Stampin’ Up!’s ‘flowering fields’ set when I first saw it, but it’s perfect for their ‘purple & green’ challenge. I’ve teamed… Read More tulip happiness
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 – I’m back today with another card that is virtually all made from die cuts (I’m obviously getting into the swing of this now!) This one uses Stampin’ Up!’s ‘windmill’ and ‘tulips’ die. I CASE’d (copy & selectively edit) a layout I saw on SU’s website and used the current colour palette from… Read More tulip windmill
Welcome to my crafty blog. Today;s card features one of the new ‘florals for you’ stamps by Julie Hickey. I love the clean lines of Julie’s stamps, and her recent online class gave me lots of ideas for using them. I’ve based this card on two current blog challenges – the layout from Freshly Made… Read More tulips – a favourite spring flower
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve made this card for a friend who’s going through a difficult time at work, and I wanted something to cheer her up. I recently treated myself to some new stamps from Claritystamp, the ‘Holland and buttons’ set, which includes these lovely tulips. They immediately came to mind when I… Read More tulips for you
