A colleague of mine is celebrating her 30th birthday this week, so I wanted to make her a special birthday card. I've been toying with the idea of a bunting birthday card for a few months and had ideas about what stamps and die cuts to use & now I finally had a good reason… Continue reading Bunting Birthday Card #1

Tardis Card
Firstly: Happy World Cardmaking Day!! Tomorrow will be a friend's birthday & I'm going to his birthday drinks this evening. He is a huge fan of Doctor Who, so I had to make a Whovian card! Ages ago I saw this Tardis card pattern on Splitcoast Stampers and wanted to make it for a boys… Continue reading Tardis Card
Moulin Rouge Birthday Card!
Today is a colleague's birthday and he was asked what he wanted to do for his birthday & he (like most men) said "dunno"... For whatever reason he was watching the Moulin Rouge 'Lady Marmalade' cover version & he said "I'd love it if I could have a party where all the girls dressed like… Continue reading Moulin Rouge Birthday Card!
Flowers Birthday Card
Tomorrow is one of my Fairy Godmother's birthdays! (I was never Baptised, but my Mother chose two Godmothers, so they are affectionately referred to as my 'Fairy' Godmothers!) This Fairy Godmother lives in a lovely appartment with her two cats and she loves flowers and has an allotment. I wanted to create a card for… Continue reading Flowers Birthday Card
Birthday Card for my Step Sister
Today is my Step Sister's birthday - her first since the loss of her older brother. I wanted to make her a card that was feminine but a bit elegant and different. I love the impact a black card has - not the first colour you would reach for for a birthday card, right? But… Continue reading Birthday Card for my Step Sister
Strawberry Birthday card
Today is my Grandmother's 93rd birthday! I wanted to make her a special card to celebrate her birthday, but not too fussy because it had to go in the post! Because the Wimbledon Championships have been played recently strawberries are very much in season right now, so I thought this lovely stamp that I bought… Continue reading Strawberry Birthday card
5th Birthday Card
My youngest niece had her 5th birthday this week and there was a family birthday party yesterday (it was also her granddad's birthday this week too!) Everyone had a lovely time. I took these photos of the card at the party because I had forgotten to take one earlier! I used the Whimsy Stamps 'Mystic'… Continue reading 5th Birthday Card
Rowing Card
I saw this card in a shop last year & fell in love with it - I adore all Peter Cross illustrations! A friend of mine is a keen rower and has won several races recently, it also happens to be his birthday soon! So I decided to send this his way (I don't have… Continue reading Rowing Card
6th Birthday Card
My new job starts in 2 days!!!!! Very excited!!! But enough about me... My niece's 6th birhtday is very soon (such a shame that it is so close to Christmas 😦 but that's not her fault!) I decided that I don't do enough 'age' cards, so I made my mind up to do one. I… Continue reading 6th Birthday Card
Paisley card
It's a friend's birthday next week & he is a HUGE fan of Oasis, Beady Eye, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and PRETTY GREEN. He has lots of T-shirts with a bit of paisley pattern on them (paisley features quite heavily in the Pretty Green design theme), so I decided I just HAD to make… Continue reading Paisley card
