Seahorsin Around
I made another card using the card sketch for the current Lawn Fawn challenge, this time featuring the cutey little seahorses from the Seahorsin Around stamp set. I’m really pleased with how this one turned out, as it was my first time playing with the Tonic Studios shimmer powders I used for the background. I…

Pop up slider card
Hi everyone, thanks for joining me today, it’s been a while! I thought I’d share with you a card I made recently for my daughter’s friend’s birthday. He loves dinosaurs, so I had to get them in somewhere! To make this card, I die cut and assembled a slider mechanism using the Heffy Doodle double…

Masculine happy birthday card
Do you enjoy making cards for men? I have to admit, I have to specifically address my mind to it, as most of my cards probably lend themselves to female recipients! This month is my Dad’s birthday, so I searched my stash and came up with this amazing Hugs Enclosed background stamp from Honey Bee…

Alcohol ink floral cards
So, I’m jumping on the alcohol ink trend… I’ve been eyeing up beautiful alcohol ink cards for months, too nervous to try it myself, but it was my birthday recently, so I asked for a few basics to get me started. I won’t go into the detail of how I created these backgrounds today, as…

Don’t worry, be Slothy
I finally had time last night to play with my new goodies from Time for Tea Designs! I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to try out their Die-Namic Display Card dies, as I’ve seen plenty of cool 3D cards around, but never tried anything like that myself. Seriously, how cute are these sloths?? They’re also…

Dandelion Wishes another way
I am absolutely loving this stamp set at the moment, so I thought I’d do another version with alcohol markers rather than coloured pencils. I decided on the layout I wanted for the scene, lined up the stamps on the page and used the MISTI to stamp them in Gina K obsidian black ink. When…

For our birthday girl
It’s my daughter’s first birthday next weekend, so I wanted to make her a special card. Not least because she’ll be spending her first birthday in lockdown rather than celebrating with a party like we should be! I started by stamping all of the little foxes from Mama Elephant’s Little Fox Agenda in Gina K…
