Digi stamp design, Copic colouring, Cricut cutting, stamping and heat embossing; this masculine birthday card for my youngest nephew has a little bit of everything.

Bunny with daffodils, take #2
This card is proof that I can make a card quickly when I need to. It also reminded me that the slower process is ultimately more fun and more rewarding.
Bunny with daffodils
Easter means cute bunnies and flowers and a good excuse to get out my Copic markers for the first time in ages.
Layered daisy
Running short on time and inspiration, I turned to my Cricut Maker to create some flowers for the second of this year's Mother's Day cards.
Delightful stitch
I nearly didn't make any Mother's Day cards this year. But then inspiration struck and, instead of colouring them with Copic markers, I embroidered some flowers.
Translucent flowers
A vague idea, a very old piece of stash, some unused supplies and a touch of bling. That's what this birthday card was made of.
Gelli cat
I really must learn to start planning cards much earlier. I love how my shiny Gelli print kitty turned out but I could do without the time pressure!
Panda in stitch
"I wonder if I can use digi stamps as embroidery patterns?" I thought. So I gave it a try and made a Valentine card.
Embroidered trees
When I first had the idea to make embroidered Christmas cards, I knew I would definitely make Christmas trees. These are the last of this year's cards.
Embroidered snowflakes
Along with designing baubles, stars and trees, I turned my hand to snowflakes, including a special extra-sparkly one.
Striped Xmas cutouts
The simplest of this year's Christmas card designs and the only one that didn't involve a needle and thread.
A cottage in the hills
Another layered landscape, with even more detail and stitching than the last one I made. This one has a cottage at the heart of it, bolder flowers at the front and, of course, tiny sheep.
Embroidered stars
First the baubles, then the stars. Three different designs with a common colour palette this time.
Embroidered baubles
This year I’ve simplified my Christmas card making by choosing a few basic designs rather than making lots of individual cards. That way I could spend more time actually creating than thinking about creating.
Pitcher of tulips
I’ve been doing more stitched projects this year, but it’s always nice to go back to my card-making basics and do a bit of Copic colouring for a change.
