A scientist's crafty side
I won't lie - I'm not sure about alcohol inks yet! I saw a video by Michelle Short of The Card Grotto using stencils with alcohol inks and I thought "Wow! That looks amazing! I want to give it a try!" so I gave it a try and I think maybe, I should leave this… Continue reading Fiesta card using alcohol inks and stencil
So I'm late to the party, but I got some alcohol inks and Yupo paper and I had a little play! I wanted my card to be on the greener end of the spectrum so I used 'Turqouise', 'Limeade' and gold mixative. I used my flet tool to spread the gold mixative and it all… Continue reading Thank you card using alcohol inks
So, yet another disclaimer - I made these cards and filmed the making of the cards back in September of 2017, but I didn't want to blog about them until I had the corresponding YouTube video created as well. Dear me, this video has taken FOREVER to edit!! When I put all the clips together… Continue reading Golden anniversary card using emboss resist technique
I LOVE this stamp set - the images are adorable and the sentiments are soooo punny! I shared this set in a Simon Says Stamp haul video on my YouTube channel from last year that you can see here. This card is for my Step Dad and it's his birthday today. First of all I… Continue reading Birthday card using Art Impressions Old Goat stamp set
Today my youngest niece turns 10 - where does the time go???? Being a big fan of Zoella (my niece that is) I wanted to create a card for her that was inspired by her favourite vlog star. I started with a C6 card base in cream and cut some Stampin' UP! card in Whisper… Continue reading Niece’s birthday card using MFT stamps
I passed my viva just before Easter, so I wanted to let my Step mother know. Sometimes she is hard to get in touch with via email and phone so I send cards instead. Is there someone you like to send snail mail to?
It was my birthday last week, to be honest it was a bit overshadowed by passing my viva - it still doesn't feel real and I'm wandering about in a bit of a daze! However, with birthdays come lots of lovely gifts and thank you cards (because everyone likes snail mail that isn't a bill,… Continue reading Birthday thank you cards with SSS flora stamp
This stamp set is from a company that are no longer in production, but there are lots of very similar stamps available, so I'm sure you can reproduce this with alternative supplies! I am sooo ready for Spring, so I wanted to have a rainbow colour scheme (inspired by Laura Bassen because she is ALL… Continue reading Rainbow Hello with Waltzingmouse stamps
Disclaimer: I made these cards in December 2017 when lots of my friends had their PhD vivas, so these cards were made in the wee hours of the night and only one photo seems to exist of them that was taken on my phone and with all the debris strewn all over my desk! I… Continue reading Congratulations cards using Honey Bee dies and stencil
It's time for the disclaimer again! I made this card in November, but I've only just blogged about it now, which is why it's a bit out of sync with the seasons!! I was going INSANE having no lab work and not making cards, just concentrating on writiting, day in, day out so one day… Continue reading Autumnal Thanks card with Lawn Fawn stitiched leaves dies
