A scientist's crafty side
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

Disclaimer: I made this card in November 2017, but this is the first chance I've had to blog about it. I made this card for a friend who was writing her Thesis at the same time as me - our friendship has been forged in the fire of PhD hell, so we've seen each other… Continue reading Hey Foxy birthday card
Disclaimer: I made this card back in November for my oldest step sister, but this is the first chance I've had to blog about it. I was really pushed for time because I was spending almost all of my time writing my Thesis, so this was a really quick make. I used my embossing buddy… Continue reading Step sister’s black and gold birthday card
Disclaimer: I made these gift card holders for book token gift cards I gave to my nieces at Christmas, but I have only had the time to blog about them now...
