Welcome to my crafty blog and a birthday card using autumn colours that a friend asked me to make for her daughter. I’ve CASE’d (copy and selectively edit) a design from Julie Hickey that I did in one of her online classes, so obviously have used her stamps for this (it would have been rude… Read More autumn flowers
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m a bit late posting this tonight – it’s been a busy old day! I wanted to try out a technique I picked up at an online class I did earlier this week with Joanne James – using bleach to change the colour of card stock. I started with a… Read More a bleached leaf!
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’m busy batch making Christmas cards and thought I’d share one of them with you today – I’ve been using the ‘peace framer’ stamp from Claritystamp.

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.
