A friend of ours regularly buys techy stuff for himself only to turn around and sell it again shortly after; this inspired my other half to suggest that there should be a “for sale” sign somewhere on his birthday card. We had already decided there would be robots and this Lawn Fawn set has a… Continue reading Presents for sale

Elephant & kite
When it comes to interactive cards, the trickiest thing for me is coming up with a design that makes good use of the movement — I don’t want to add moving parts just for the sake of it. Then I had the idea of having a kite floating in the sky. The background was created… Continue reading Elephant & kite
Solstice card
A friend of ours really doesn’t do Christmas, but I hate to leave him off the Christmas card list. This year I was inspired to make him a solstice card instead, as celebrating the passing of the shortest day of the year is far more appropriate. Supplies: stamps: Create A Smile - snowflake whispers Lawn… Continue reading Solstice card
Hugs: Happy flower girl
I’ve followed Petra Maria on Instagram for a while now, but this is the first time I’ve actually coloured one of her digi stamps myself. This girl looks so happy, surrounded by all those flowers, that I couldn’t leave her on the side uncoloured for too long. How: I printed the happy girl on some… Continue reading Hugs: Happy flower girl
Birthday: Bear on deckchair
This was an unplanned card. When I was about half way through colouring the bear for the Father’s Day card, I realised that he was sitting in MC Escher’s deckchair and, once I had noticed that, there was no way I could use it on a card. But I didn’t want to waste the work I… Continue reading Birthday: Bear on deckchair
Father’s Day: Bear on deckchair
I didn’t have anything in my stash that was inspiring me to make a Father’s Day card for my other half’s dad so I went on the hunt for digi stamps; unfortunately my usual sources weren’t sparking my imagination. A quick search later and I came across Di’s Digi Stamps which looks like it will… Continue reading Father’s Day: Bear on deckchair
Hello: Stamped flowers with stencilling
I’ve been meaning to join in with the Seven Hills Crafts monthly challenge for a while and this month I actually managed to create something… only just in time though… For a change, I left my Copic markers on the side and went back to basics with some stencilling and stamping. How: I started by… Continue reading Hello: Stamped flowers with stencilling
Bluebells
I’ve been meaning to take part in Seven Hills Crafts’ monthly challenge for quite a while, but I keep forgetting about it until it’s too late… This month the challenge sketch was still fresh in my mind when I got the “from all of us” set from Clearly Besotted with its lovely bluebells and I… Continue reading Bluebells
Birthday: Bird crazy
So my mum called asking me if I could make her a birthday card for her brother, but she had absolutely no suggestions for the design 🤔 It's tricky enough making cards for men, but when you have no starting point to work from... Anyway, this is what I came up with… How: The bird… Continue reading Birthday: Bird crazy
Xmas card: Watercolored snowflakes
What: Another card technique that has been on my “to try” list — creating a background using some of the smaller stamps from a set and then loosely watercolouring over them. Inspired by: Any one of the large number of cards with loose watercoloured backgrounds that I have seen on Pinterest, Youtube, Instagram and the… Continue reading Xmas card: Watercolored snowflakes
