I couldn’t let the Platinum Jubilee pass by without making a card to celebrate! It was the perfect opportunity to finally use my Oh Crumbs stamp set by Heffy Doodle! I stamped and coloured the images from the set with Copic markers, then cut them out with my Brother Scan N Cut. I used the…

Rainbow shaker card
I was recently reminded of a technique I’d not done in a while – making a shaker card with layered circles in the centre. To do this, I started with six pieces of card measuring 6×6″. From the first, I cut a circle in the centre using the Time for Tea Designs Circle of Love…

Happy Easter!
I’m not much of an Easter crafter, but there’s a few crafty items I fell in love with this year and decided to make a couple of simple Easter cards. After a period of illness, I was feeling a bit uninspired, so I turned to some card sketches on Google to give me some layout…
