Why does everything that seems like a couple of years ago turn out to actually be four? The last two Covid years seem to take up no space at all in remembering when things happened. Anyway, four years ago I coloured a version of this digi stamp — it comes with three versions: one with… Continue reading Holly, mistletoe and a candy cane

Mice for my mum and bunnies for my sister-in-law — it's become traditional when it comes to card-making. Everyone else gets random subjects on their cards, but these two are very rarely altered; even when I gave mum a snowman card last year, I put a little mouse inside. This bunny is one of a… Continue reading Bunny wrapped up warm

The biggest problem I have when it comes to colouring digi stamps these days is deciding what to do for the background. Especially for images like this one which are crying out for a scene rather than a plain background. I used to be happy putting a bit of a shadow underneath, but then I… Continue reading Christmouse carols

Another Power Poppy digi stamp gets coloured for the first time. I could have just added a sentiment and created a simple Christmas card with it, but somewhere along the way I had the idea to turn it into a shaker card. I haven't made one of those for ages... checks... four years apparently. The… Continue reading Spiced orange pomander

Yes, it's another Power Poppy digi stamp — I love the quirky arrangement of the baubles and it's something a little different. I wasn't really thinking about the layout of a card when I coloured this (I was not making Christmas cards, I was just doing some relaxing colouring) so I had to do a… Continue reading Forest finds baubles
Not everything has to be a detailed image requiring half my markers, sometimes it's nice to just colour a simple flower. I used a stamp positioner to add the embossing powder after colouring the stamp, a technique described in more detail for this feather card.

Today is one of those days where I keep staring at the text editor and try to come up with another way of describing my card-making process, al the while my brain is sitting there resolutely refusing to come up with any relevant words. So, as this blog post is supposed to go up tomorrow… Continue reading Violet bow

Well, I thought I'd bought this digital stamp the year before last, but apparently it was four years ago! Where does the time go...? Anyway, this was the first time I've coloured it — I love the ornaments, but I was having problems figuring out how to make them work on a card. Then I… Continue reading Acorn ornaments

When I coloured this (and a handful of other images) for the 30 Day Colouring challenge back in August I was quite clear that I was not making Christmas cards, I was just doing some colouring that happened to be wintry in nature. Then, a couple of weeks ago, I sat down and turned them… Continue reading Snowman under the moon
