A scientist's crafty side
I love Gorguss by Santoro because it reminds me of my youngest niece, so this year I made her a card using the 'The Runaway' stamp set by docrafts. The main image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah Classic Crest card. I coloured it with my Specturm Noir pens. The horse's body:… Continue reading Niece’s birthday card
Yesterday was Mothering Sunday in the UK and I would like to share the card I made for my Mum. My family have had several dogs, cats and a guinea pig over our lives, but at the moment we have one elderly Birman - they are now my Mum's favourite breed and she doesn't think… Continue reading Mother’s Day card
Today is my Godmother's 70th Birthday. I made her an exploding box as a special birthday card and gave it to her a few days ago, so I'll share it with you now. I started with a 297mm x 297mm piece of 300gsm purple card and used my Crafter's Companion Ultimate Pro to score the… Continue reading 70th birthday exploding box card
Today is my friend's birthday and he is training to be a doctor, he has his finals very soon. I still want to keep going with the positive statements on birthday cards, and I thought I would go with a punny one today - he will be a doctor, so why not have some anatomically… Continue reading Follow your hearts desire
Hi! This is my second card for today. So I didn't leave myself enough time to make this card... So the sentiment has been stamped SOOOOO badly - it was my second go at the sentiment as well, but I had to go with what I got - I'm not proud of it at all,… Continue reading Climb every mountain high

For some reason all of my friends feel a bit down at the moment - maybe it's just… Continue reading Reach for the stars
Next week it will be Chinese New Year, the year of the monkey. Outside China the next largest celebration of Chinese New Year is in London - so if you ever get the chance go to China town in London to enjoy the festivities. I've made a Chinese New Year card for my step mother… Continue reading Happy Chinese New Year
Now that she is at Grammar School, my eldest niece has become a complete 'tweenager' and her younger sisters are 'so childish' and she is desperate to be seen as a big girl, so I had to make her a birthday card that wasn't 'girly', but more refined/edgy/grown up. All three of my Nieces love… Continue reading Lose yourself to dance
I've made my Christmas thank-you cards, at last, so I'm going to share them with you. I'm always trying to look for novel thank you card ideas. I learned Spanish for a year at school, but because I was struggling in other subjects I was forced to give it up. So my Spanish has never… Continue reading Moo-chas grass-ias!
Hi all! I just wanted to share the CAS birthday card I made for my best friend. Having a December birthday sucks - everyone always gives her birthday/Christmas combined presents, so I wanted to make her a lovely birthday card to go with her birthday presents to make sure she feels special. I die cut… Continue reading Best Friend’s birthday card
