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.
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.
Electronic robot
Last year I just had to design my own digi stamp, this year's suggestion turned into quite a construction project and I had to draw a robot as well.
Just coloured: Copic butterflies
Normally I colour images without too much thought for purpose or technique. I approached these butterflies with a different intent.
Bunny twins
Hot on the heels of making individual cards for a pair of grown-up twins, I had to make one welcoming another pair into the world.
Angry owl
The last piece of un-blogged Copic colouring. I've been looking for it for more than two years and I finally found it lurking on a shelf!
Postbox bunny
I have been known to participate in "Christmas in July" before, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've made a Christmas card in January.
Penguin with trees
It turns out that the dragon card for my mum wasn't actually the last Christmas card that I had to make this year, there was one more left to do.
Dragon and Christmas star
The last Christmas card of 2022 is an individual card for my mum. I'd run out of cute rodents so I coloured up this cute dragon with a wooden Christmas star instead.
Blackberry forager
Mice and blackberries are the perfect combination for a birthday card for my mum and I was lucky that two bits of inspiration turned up at just the right time.
Bountiful bouquet
Yes it's another Power Poppy floral card — rudbeckias and berries this time — but at least I changed up the usual pink and purple Copic palette for a more autumnal one, and then finished it off with coloured pencils.
Lollipop bunny
I had run out of bunnies, I wasn't being inspired by the ones I was finding online and I couldn't possibly make anything other than a bunny birthday card, so there was only one thing left to do: design my own.
80th roses and violets
This card was an exercise in finding balance between "it's a big birthday, let's shout it from the rooftops" and my own "age is a meaningless number" aversion to drawing attention to it. I'm happy with the compromise...
