Valentines Day is coming up fast, but what if your special someone is a four-legged friend?! We all know how special our pets are, so why not make a card celebrating your own fur baby? To make this card, I started out by die cutting the Dotty Hearts Cover Plate die from soft pink cardstock…

Happy New Year to all my lovely followers. One thing I’d love to do more of in 2023 is memory keeping, so I’m starting as I mean to go on, and sharing a memory keeping page I created with the recent Time for Tea Designs mini-release, capturing some of our favourite Christmas traditions. For the…

Hey friends, how are you? Are you ready for Christmas yet? Quite honestly, I’m not! I love Christmas, but it seems to have crept up so quickly this year and I’m not feeling festive quite yet – however, getting stuck in to some of my Christmas cards with the new stamps and dies from Time…

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 up…

Do you love CAS (clean and simple) cards, or are you scared of them? I LOVE them but I find them so hard to pull off! Nonetheless, I decided to give it a go for the MFT Card Design Superstar: CAS Genius category. For some reason, I thought it would be a good idea to…

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 called…

My friend recently asked me to make a congratulations card for her friends who had recently married. Their wedding invitations had cacti on them, so I decided to adapt a couple of the cacti from Clearly Besotted’s Prickly Plushies set. I stamped the cacti with alcohol marker friendly black ink, then used a pencil to…

Hey crafty friends, how are you? Today I’m sharing a sweet little card, perfect for a new baby or a special friend. I started out with a panel of watercolour paper, and masked off the third to the left. On the right, I wet my paper and applied various shades of blue watercolour paint, from…

I love this super bright and cheerful little celebration card! I made it for my lovely friend, who just aced the first year of her nursing course.

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… Read more

Get well soon
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… Read more

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… Read more

Good times are ahead
Happy Tuesday, everyone! How is your week going? I’m feeling a bit more optimistic at the moment, the sun is shining, the vaccine rollout is well underway, and we have a tentative promise of something resembling normality by the end of summer. Good times do (finally) seem to be on the way again! I’ve definitely… Read more

Hello baby

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… Read more
