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

I bought this really cool Concentric Doodle cling stamp from Simon Says Stamp back in Stamptember last year, and still hadn’t gotten around to using it, so I thought it really was about time!

I totally fell in love with these Celebration Hamsters from Mama Elephant’s new release and couldn’t wait to get colouring them!

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
