Well firstly, I had to stop posting for a while because my laptop died! It was eleven years old so in fairness it’d had a good innings! What really finished it off though was my boyfriend managed to stand on it when I’d moved it off the coffee table to the floor for a few… Continue reading Cards using ‘Spare Parts’
I really like the floral stamps from Woodware – they’re nice big images and stamp really well so I thought I’d use the one I recently bought for this card. This is similar to another card I made a few weeks back in the way that I roughly coloured the image using Distress Oxides and… Continue reading Large Sentiment, Eclipse, Kraft
I had a cover die I recently bought with some windows and shutters on so thought this would be a good way to cover the ‘window’ part. I have a few dog-related stamp sets but went for the My Favourite Things one which I don’t have dies for. Because of this, once I’d cut out… Continue reading Stencil, Window, Dogs
I needed a thank-you card so did my random number generator to get 3 things for inspiration, as usual. I took some kraft-coloured cardstock and cut a panel down roughly 5.5 x 4.25″. I ran this through my embossing machine with a wood effect embossing folder. I then took some distress ink in vintage photo… Continue reading Embossing, Garden, Large Sentiment
I needed to make a thank you card for my friend who is having us all round to hers in a couple of weeks (finally we can all see each other indoors!) so ended up with the 3 above elements to put on my card. I love this scooter stamp set I have but have… Continue reading Travel, Masking, Alphabet Dies
I got a new stamp from Alinacraft which I was dying to use. It’s a huge flower and pretty much covers a whole 6 x 6″ card so it was perfect for off-the-edge stamping. I stamped using black Altenew Obsidian ink and then heat embossed with clear powder. I coloured the image in using brush… Continue reading Floral, Stencil, Off-the-edge
So we adopted a wee Romanian Rescue doggo last November (our gorgeous Bentley) who has had a terrible first 2 years of his life living on the streets where he’s been abused, possibly knocked over by a car (we found out when we had him checked by a Vet that not only had he at… Continue reading Notecard Sets
A really quick and easy card today. I have this Hero Arts stamp that I love but haven’t used for a while so since I was doing something involving ‘happy mail’ it fitted well. I didn’t want to use the whole stamp because I wanted a decent amount of white space so I masked off… Continue reading CAS, Framed, Happy Mail
For this card, I started off with one idea but then lost concentration so it ended up something else! I knew I wanted to do white on black, rather than black on white so cut myself a panel measuring 5 and a half by 4 and a quarter inches. I picked a leaf stamp out… Continue reading Black & White, Torn Paper, Pattern Only
For this card as it was going to be Clean & Simple I decided I didn’t want to take long on it. I mean, that’s the point… So I picked the nearest coloured panel I could find which was some kraft cardstock (I seem to be using that a lot lately) and then picked up… Continue reading Coloured Panel, CAS, Floral
