A scientist's crafty side
This week I made another card 'to sell' to my Mum because she asked for feminine birthday cards as well. My crafty mojo is rock bottom at the moment - unfortunately my Seasonal Affective Disorder is really bad at the moment, so I'm constantly tired and I just don't have any energy. I wake up,… Continue reading Birthday card using Pantone color of 2019 – Living Coral
My Mum talked to me over the holidays and told me that she had to buy some cards for upcoming birthdays and that when she got to the till the cost was extortionate - if I make cards, why don't I sell them? Well, to be honest I'd been thinking about it for a while… Continue reading Masculine Birthday card
This is the card I made for my Niece for her 15th birthday.

I stamped the flamingo with Memento Tuxedo… Continue reading Flock Yeah birthday card using Wplus9 stamps
I made this card for my eldest step sister's birthday (it's a BIG birthday) so I wanted to push the boat out so this card is ALL about the glitter!!!

I removed the backing… Continue reading Glitter butterfly birthday card using Elizabeth Crafts dies
I made this card for my friend Holly's birthday. She was my partner in crime for weekend crafternoons, we had so much fun card making and she tried to get my cats to be more sociable!

How is it September already? Today is my cousin's birthday and this is the Autumnal-themed card I made her. I hope you can tell from the close-up how gorgeous the copper card is! I hope you have a good week!
It was my Mum's birthday on Tuesday, but this week has been demanding at work so I'm only able to blog about it now! This card is completely inspired by THESE CARDS that Amy Rsavy created at the beginning of the month, so not my original idea at all. So I don't have the Picket… Continue reading Mum’s birthday card using Prima princess stamp
