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

Yes, you read that right… as soon as I got my new Teariffic Pals stamp set from Time for Tea Designs, I knew I wanted to make a jammy dodger wreath… In rainbow colours! I used Gina K’s original wreath builder to help me stamp the images with even spacing. I started with the jammy

Hi everyone! It’s been a while since my last blog post, as I’ve been so busy with work and childcare I’ve barely found time to craft, let alone blog! However, the new release from Time for Tea Designs is out today so I can finally start showing off some of the cards I’ve been making

Guys, my baby nephew just turned 13. 13!! I can’t believe it. But, it did give me an opportunity to use the new Mice Day to Celebrate stamp set from My Favorite Things, which I’ve been dying to do! If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know I’m a sucker for a shaker

I can’t get enough of these adorable little bunnies from Mama Elephant! Today I’m sharing some mini slimline cards that I made with this set and the Landscape Edge dies from Time for Tea Designs.

As soon as my friend Rebecca told me she was going to apply to retrain as a nurse, I knew she’d ace it. She’s super caring and smart and of course she was offered a place everywhere she interviewed! So, obviously I had a card already made and waiting to go when she was offered

Who doesn’t love a good sushi pun, right? Finally got chance to break out this adorable Gina K set (I Like The Way You Roll), to make this fun little bookmark. I started out by stamping the images in Gina K obsidian black ink and colouring them with Spectrum Noir markers. Next, I fussy cut

My daughter turned one a few weeks ago and so I needed to make a bunch of thank you cards for our kind friends and family who sent gifts. I like to make matching card sets when I’m doing thank yous, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to try out a technique I saw

I love this botanical diamond die from Taylored Expressions. It comes with a number of sentiments, so it’s really versatile! On this occasion, I needed a Get Well Soon card for my good friend who, along with her family, is suffering with Covid right now. I started by heat embossing the image in gold on

Hello baby
I knew as soon as I saw the image of this little bunny sleeping on a cloud that it would be perfect for a new baby card! I started by stamping the bunny onto hot press watercolour paper, then again onto some Gina K masking magic. I used Karin Markers to colour the bunny and Read more

Polkadoodles Valentine’s cards
I was recently lucky enough to win the new Hearts & Happiness collection by Polkadoodles. I knew as soon as I saw the two adorable little stamp sets included that I wanted to make some clean and simple Valentine’s cards with them.
