Hello everyone! Later today I'm going to my friend's 30th Birthday Party that is going to be a Crystal Maze themed pub crawl around all the places we used to hang around when we were teenagers with challenges along the way. I wanted to make a card that resembled the Crystal Dome with all the… Continue reading Charlie’s 30th Birthday Card

New Tonic Rococo dies card
I saw the Rococo Faries dies on a certain craft selling TV channel & had to have them (and in just the click of a button my Tonic die collection has tripled!). My eye was taken by this stunning card by Karen on the Tonic Studios blog - I just think it's amazing! So I… Continue reading New Tonic Rococo dies card
Josh’s 1st Birthday card
I can't believe today is the First Birthday of one of my school friends' son! It seems like only yesterday that he was only a few weeks old when I first met him! Being a little boy I had to use the Waltzingmouse 'Kaboom' stamp set I got with my Birthday money (in case you… Continue reading Josh’s 1st Birthday card
Niece’s 7th Birthday Card
My youngest Niece turns 7 today! How time flies!! I've seen so many cards using watercolour techniques that look amazing & I keep jealously thinking "hmmm, mine would never look that good - it would run everywhere and look aweful", but then I thought to myself - I have watercolour paper, water-based inks, paint brushes,… Continue reading Niece’s 7th Birthday Card
30th Birthday Thank you cards
With Birthdays comes birthday money to spend on new crafty things! (and lots of thank you cards to write) So with my Birthday money I had a little splurge on the Waltzingmouse Stamps website & bought the 'Kaboom' die, 'Kaboom', 'Halftone Basics', 'Happy Hello Thanks', 'Old Country Roses' and 'Vintage Postcards' stamp sets. I decided… Continue reading 30th Birthday Thank you cards
Mother’s Day Card 2015
I've been really inspired by the Clean and Simple look recently and I wanted to give it a go, but I was worried that it would look a bit lost with all the white card! Let me know if you think I got it right! I bought the Creative Expressions 'Finishing Touches - Camellia -… Continue reading Mother’s Day Card 2015
Charlie’s 30th Birthday card
Next week another of my friends will be turning 30, but I'm travelling to a two-day veterinary conference later today so I need to make the card now because I won't have time whilst I'm away. My friend is a sound engeneer so music was an obvious choice of theme for his card. I've seen… Continue reading Charlie’s 30th Birthday card
Masculine birthday card
It will be my Godmother's husband's birthday this week, so I'm making him this card before they fly to the Scilly Isles for a birthday treat. You're probably already aware I like Acid Drops and Whatnots. I got some toppers from them & I think this set is rather good - it's called 'Martini Man'.… Continue reading Masculine birthday card
Natalie’s 30th Birthday card
So I know two people who's birthdays happen to fall on Valentine's Day, one of them was my flat mate at Uni. This year is the year of 30th birthdays, so I wanted to send her a card for the 'big' birthday. She's an amazingly talented lady who makes clothes and fabric accessories, so I… Continue reading Natalie’s 30th Birthday card
21st Birthday Card
A friend of mine has asked me to make a 21st birthday card for his niece! I won't lie - when it's a significant birthday card, it feels more stressful to make sure you get it right!! I decided that I was going to go for bling, with a bit of black for sophistication... I… Continue reading 21st Birthday Card
