Hi there Welcome to Winter – at least we’re now starting to get the rain we so desperately need. One positive of winter is that we have to stay indoors more which means more crafting time – and with a new catalogue just days away – bring it on. Today’s post is created from a… Read More »
Hi there Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful Mum’s, Aunt’s, Grandmother’s and those women who have had an impact on our lives – I hope you’ve all had a lovely day. Mother’s Day 2020 is definitely one we won’t be forgetting in a hurry. In previous years I’ve created a little something to give… Read More »
Hi there I find sympathy cards one of the hardest to create and even more so when they need to be masculine based. Since we’ve been in lockdown I’ve needed to create two sympathy cards for male colleagues who have lost family members (thankfully not due to COVID-19). I CASE’d this layout from a card… Read More »
Hi there I’m sure you’ve all heard the term CASEing a card – Copy And Share Everything. Well today’s projects are a CASE based on the card below from a US demo – Julie Davison. I really liked this card but I didn’t have any of the products she’d used so I checked out my… Read More »
Hi there I’ve been having fun lately creating cards that require colouring in – mainly using my Stampin’ Blends. I find colouring very relaxing and a great way to unwind – I think we all need a bit of that at the moment. I hope these cards will brighten your day. Today’s share uses a… Read More »
Hi there Last month Phil and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary and I’m going to share with you the card he gave me. Now we have a rule in our house – no store bought cards are to be given for birthday, Christmas or wedding anniversary. That’s easy for me being a card maker… Read More »
Hi there On top of making birthday cards for all the staff at work I’ve decided to make ‘welcome’ cards for new staff members. We’ve already had a couple of new starts this year and have another 3 starting tomorrow. When the new catalogue came out last year I spotted the set ‘Welcome to the… Read More »
Hi there My Country Home stamp set hadn’t seem ink for quite some time but that has all changed with the arrival of our new Puff Paint (page 19 of the Holiday Catalogue). Previously I had coloured the ‘cotton’ flowers in with different colours – check this post here. I’m loving the puff paint – it’s… Read More »
Hi there I saw a card on a Facebook group I belong too that I liked so I saved it to recreate one day. Well that day has come. Recently I was in need of a sympathy card and knew the layout would work really well for my sympathy card. I changed the colours for… Read More »
Hi there Today’s cards feature two sets that work well together to create masculine cards – A Good Man and Waterfront. To create these cards I stamped the image of the man first in Memento Black then created a mask to cover his legs and lower part of the chair. With the mask applied I… Read More »
Hi there I don’t know about you but I find colouring in very relaxing. In my two previous posts I’ve shared different methods of colouring in – Watercolour Pencils and Stampin’ Blends. Here is another option for you – colouring in with our ink pads and a Blender Pen. When using ink to colour in… Read More »

Hi there I didn’t realise it was that long since I’d done a post – so to make up I’ll share three posts over the next three days. While my friend was travelling overseas a couple of months ago she lent me her Free As A Bird stamp set – so I stamped the main… Read More »
Hi there There seems to have been something in the water at work – 5 of my colleagues have become parents (either for the first time or again). So far we’ve had 2 boys and 3 girls with one more arrival due in the next couple of months. After seeing a card made by my… Read More »
Hi there Back in April we had our ‘Demonstrator Only’ event (OnStage) where we got to see new products and the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue before they were released. As part of our ‘goodie bag’ we received the lovely stamp set Daisy Lane. This set can be purchased on it’s own or as a bundle with… Read More »
