Evening everyone and welcome to my crafty blog. I’m back with another Christmas card, this time inspired by the challenge at AAA cards. A ‘twinchie’ is a 2 inch square with all the card design contained within it – I haven’t done one of these before and it took a bit of thinking about! I… Read More Noel holly
Welcome to my crafty blog. I recently did an online class with the brilliant Marion Emberson of Sugar and Spice Crafts, using the new stamps she’s designed for Julie Hickey Designs. The ‘Feather It’ set is completely different to anything I’ve got in my stash and I’ve fallen in love with it, so have kept… Read More a birthday feather
Welcome to my crafty blog. It’s time for a new theme over at The Alphabet Challenge and we’re now up to the letter ‘H’. This week Debbie has asked us to include ‘happy’ in the sentiment, and I decided that Julie Hickey’s alphabet dies would be perfect. Before picking up the dies, though, I started… Read More h is for happy
Welcome to my crafty blog. Here’s another Christmas card, inspired by a couple of this week’s challenges – Less Is More have declared it ‘Christmas in July’, and Just Add Ink have got a very festive inspiration photo. I decided to go with Stampin’ Up!’s ‘Peaceful Noel’ set (now retired), as I thought it would… Read More Noel
Welcome to my crafty blog and my second post of the day. This one is a diamond wedding anniversary card that I was asked to make, and I’ve dug back into my stash of Claritystamps for some old favourites. I started with the word stamp that has 1 Corinthians 13 on it, and repeat stamped… Read More diamond wedding
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been asked to make another 60th birthday card – this time for a Formula One racing fan. I don’t have any racing cars amongst my stash, so decided instead to go with the Mercedes team colours of black, silver & green given that Lewis Hamilton remains the top British… Read More Formula 1 birthday
Welcome to my crafty blog. Bit of a late post today with my weekly dip into the Claritystamp new design club – this time it’s the agapanthus stamp from March 2015. I decided to use it for a few of this week’s blog challenges. The colours are from Color Throwdown – for once I’ve stayed… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – agapanthus #101
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve stepped up today’s card with a little heat embossing on a Claritystamp that I’ve had for a long time but not used nearly as much as I should. This ‘love is in the air’ stamp is such a great image – it reminds me of a Banksy artwork. I… Read More love is in the air
Welcome to my crafty blog, and another journey back into Claritystamp’s new design club. It feels very strange to be posting this card on a warm June Sunday, but I’m now up to November 2014 on this little retro trip, which was the ‘Santa’s car’ stamp, so it just had to be a Christmas card!… Read More Claritystamp new design club lookback – Santa’s car #97
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m still busy with Father’s Day cards, so I can get them off in good time to the little community shop that’s selling some of my creations. I’m quite pleased with today’s offering as it’s used up several pieces of scrap card, so has gladdened my thrifty crafter heart! I… Read More best day ever
