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 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
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
This kind of worked out well because my work colleague has just told us he’s getting married in a couple of weeks (after being engaged for MANY years!) so I needed a wedding card and white on white is kind of traditional so I had a couple of ideas for this. I have a stencil… Continue reading White on White, Texture & Night Sky
I don’t know about anyone else but I have got to a point where I struggle for ideas despite having a gazillion products. If anything the gazillion products hinders my crafting because there’s too much choice and it gets overwhelming! So I decided two things this year; 1) don’t buy things I don’t need –… Continue reading Getting Out of a Crafty Rut
I don’t know about anyone else (well actually, I’m not having it that this doesn’t happen to every crafter) but I have LOADS of half-finished projects; there’s folders with random die-cuts, backgrounds, shapes, sentiment strips, sentiment die-cuts… Basically I’ve got bits of cards that I’ve started but then for some reason changed my mind. I… Continue reading Use your Scraps!
I made a few cards yesterday inspired by a few different challenges. The first two cards are being entered into following:- Simon Says Stamp – Have a Heart My Time to Craft – All you need is Love Stamp Ink Paper – All My Love The first card was made using an embossing folder which… Continue reading Card Challenge #5, #6 & #7
Firstly, can I just say I make a MESS when I’m crafting – I refuse to believe everyone else can do this stuff without getting ink/paint/glue all over their fingers and desk! I think even in a hazmat suit I’d struggle not to get ink on me. I also just had a ten minute fight… Continue reading Card Challenge #4
I’ve always had trouble when it comes to making cards for men/boys: it’s not so bad when you know the person you’re making it for because then you can tailor the card to suit them; but when it comes to making a generic ‘masculine’ card options always seem quite limited. With this in mind I… Continue reading Card Challenge #3
