Christmas star v2

December 14, 2022December 14, 2022 Sarah

In the spirit of cutting down on waste, I used the leftover cut-out pieces from the last set of cards to make some more.

Christmas star

December 12, 2022December 13, 2022 Sarah

I was pondering designs for another set of Christmas cards and settled on the idea of a star on a stained-glass-style background. Once I'd created the design, the cards came together quickly.

Foil cut-out block Christmas tree

December 7, 2022December 4, 2022 Sarah

Another attempt at foiled cards. The distressed look wasn't what I was aiming for but I worked with it and ended up with two more cards for the Christmas card stash.

Pink foil Christmas tree

December 5, 2022December 4, 2022 Sarah

More Christmas cards made using my block Christmas tree design, but this time I turned it into a stencil and got out the shiny pink foil.

Block Christmas trees

December 2, 2022December 4, 2022 Sarah

After making the last two pairs of cards I was left with all the blocks that had been cut out to make those trees. Rather than waste them, I decided to turn them into some more cards for this year's stash.

Glitter block Christmas tree

November 30, 2022December 4, 2022 Sarah

The second pair of my block Christmas tree cards. I'm using the same design but I still want to vary the cards, so this time I went for a more glittery approach.

Ribbon block Christmas tree

November 28, 2022December 4, 2022 Sarah

Having successfully ignored the C-word for many weeks, I had to give in and start making some Christmas cards, if only to avoid getting ridiculously stressed out when December arrives all too quickly.

Tom Servo

July 29, 2022July 28, 2022 Sarah

I really need to get out of the habit of coming up with ideas for cards only a few days before they're needed. Luckily I worked out how to create the cut file design, assembled the finished Tom Servo card, and beat the deadline this time.

W(aicste)TF?

July 15, 2022July 13, 2022 Sarah

A spur of the moment Cricut project prompted by a friend's casual comment. Not my usual sort of thing at all, but it's nice to know I can make vinyl signs easily — once I've managed to choose the fonts!

Layered Easter bunny

June 8, 2022June 7, 2022 Sarah

I think I've pretty much used all of the Easter bunny digi stamps in my collection so, rather than go hunting for a new one, I took a different tack for this card for my other half's sister. I'd been trying to organise the various cut files I'd acquired over the years and came across… Continue reading Layered Easter bunny

Thirty cats

February 7, 2022February 7, 2022 Sarah

I set the bar high for making cards for my other half's niece when I made the kitty Christmas card, so I was having problems coming up with a good enough idea for her birthday card. Then I realised it was her thirtieth and I had to do something different. I had found some cute… Continue reading Thirty cats

Unicorn shadow box

January 3, 2022January 2, 2022 Sarah

I've seen a lot of shadow box designs around and, while I think a lot of them are really clever, they're not the sort of thing I would make for myself. They are, however, a great way to experiment with my Cricut Maker and try out different types of card with it. Luckily we have… Continue reading Unicorn shadow box

Glittery Christmas trees

December 15, 2021December 15, 2021 Sarah

I never really got a lot of use out of my Brother Scan-n-Cut — it was always hard work trying to get a clean cut from it — in theory it should have been great, but in practice I just didn't get on with it. Then my other half bought me a Cricut Maker and… Continue reading Glittery Christmas trees

Hi, my name is Sarah and I live in London, UK with my very techy other half. When I’ve got the energy, my days are spent getting crafty and trying to remember to blog about it.
