MFT Card Design Superstar – Coloring Virtuoso

Well, I’ll be honest – I wasn’t sure whether to enter this card in the competition at all, because some of the entries are just crazy good. However, I did take a lot of care over colouring my characters and I like how the card turned out, so if nothing else, I could end upContinue reading “MFT Card Design Superstar – Coloring Virtuoso”

Happy birthday – New Wow Trio

I love a Wow Trio, do you? Today they’ve released two new ones, and they’re lovely- to me, they feel very autumnal and rich! For today’s card, I’ve used the Ancient Orient Trio (Tarnished Brass, Vintage Turquoise and Turkish Coffee). I’ve been wanting to try a new-to-me Stamp Your Life project kit from Altenew calledContinue reading “Happy birthday – New Wow Trio”

You are one in a million

Hey crafty friends, how are you? Today I’m sharing a sweet little card, perfect for a new baby or a special friend.

Rediscovery hop – Beach theme

Today I’m taking part in an Instagram Hop that is designed to encourage you to dig into that stash you’ve got sitting in your craft room, waiting to be used!

So, today I’m sharing this sweet little card I made for the current MFT sketch challenge (below). I used theContinue reading “MFT sketch challenge”

Jubilee celebration card

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 theContinue reading “Jubilee celebration card”

E-I-E-I ‘ello!

Hey crafty friends, I hope you’ve had a lovely weekend. Today, I’m sharing another interactive card, this time using the new Platform Pop-Up dies from Lawn Fawn. I absolutely love how you can easily create a scene with these dies. I won’t try to describe the process of putting the card base together as LawnContinue reading “E-I-E-I ‘ello!”
