Soon I'm going to run out of blackberry images to use of cards for my mum, but not this year: I have one digi stamp left unused. I decided what I was going to do for this year's card quite a few weeks ago, but, of course, I left it until the last week before… Continue reading Birthday blackberries
I nearly didn't make this card. I'm really not a fan of gnomes — I've only ever made one other card with gnomes on it and that was done with a particular person in mind — and I didn't want to make a card I am unlikely to use (my card stash is big enough… Continue reading Gnome wedding
I finally came up with a design for the wedding card! I had been pondering ideas ever since we were told that my other half’s niece was having a Harry Potter themed wedding.

Another catch-up post; this card was originally made on March 21st, although the monsters were coloured at the start of February during the Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge. When I picked out the monsters stamp to colour, I knew that it would end up on a birthday card for my younger nephew. Designing cards for adult… Continue reading Birthday: Monstrous party
Another catch-up post; this card was originally made on February 27th. This card was for my mum. For her, it always has to be "Mothering Sunday" rather than "Mother's Day" — something which made finding store-bought cards increasingly tricky. Rather less traditionally, there also have to be some cute critters on there. How: I love… Continue reading Mothering Sunday: Bouquet and birds
