Step-Sister’s birthday card

Today is my eldest step-sister's birthday, I'll be going to see her later today, but before I go I'll post her card and present here. I must admit I bought her present in May and started work on this project back in August, but with very little urgency. So it was only right at the… Continue reading Step-Sister’s birthday card

Hey Ghoul-friend!

I saw this greeting in a stamp set somewhere, I couldn't justify getting the stamp set, but I have alphabet stamps, so I wanted to make it with my alphabet stamps. My last blog post hinted that I was stressed and rather unhappy and as a crafter I know that colouring is a really good… Continue reading Hey Ghoul-friend!

Autumnal thank-you

I'm so blessed - I've been working really hard recently and I found it was affecting my mood - I went on Facebook and all my friends were sharing how wonderful their lives were and how they just couldn't be happier. I had been working 11/12 and 13 hour days and been unable to fit… Continue reading Autumnal thank-you

Cousin’s Birthday card

Today is my cousin in Scotlands birthday, I wanted to show you the card I made for her. The second I saw the new Farmer's Market set from Hearfelt Creations I fell in love, so I bought everything in the set. It feels very autumnal this week (I put the central heating back on over… Continue reading Cousin’s Birthday card

Steampunk Birthday card

I love Steampunk, so when I saw the Kanban 'Time Machine' and 'Cameo Clock' toppers I grabbed them up! But then I just kept them and got them out to look at them rather than use them. Until now... My friend is an acomplished seamstress and loves gaming so she makes her own costumes for… Continue reading Steampunk Birthday card

Mum’s Birthday Card and present

Friday will be my mother's birthday and she isn't very 'computer savvy' so I feel safe posting this before her birthday. I stamped the IndigoBlu 'Sunflower' stamp on Neenah card with VersaFine 'Vintage Sepia' ink. I coloured it in with Spectrum Noir GB1, GB3, Ct1, CT4, TN8, EB4, EB6, JG1 and JG5. Using my Perfect… Continue reading Mum’s Birthday Card and present

Grandmother’s 95th Birthday card

On Sunday it will be my Granny's 95th birthday, the card is in the post, so I thought I would share it with you. I'm afraid this post is a bit picture heavy due to all the different flowers I made for the card - sorry! I really wanted to try out a cascade card… Continue reading Grandmother’s 95th Birthday card

Masculine birthday card

Today is my oldest Step Sister's boyfriend's birthday. He loves history, so I know that 'vintage' stuff would suit him. I ran some black card through the Crafts-Too 'Geared' embossing folder. I stamped the image from the IndigoBlu 'Little Voice' stamp set onto Whisper White card stock and inked over it with Vintage Photo Distress… Continue reading Masculine birthday card
