A scientist's crafty side
I made this New Year card for my Step Mother who lives in Thailand featuring the Hero Arts Color Layering Tiger photopolymer stamp and die set. I used some Simon Says Stamp woodgrain cardstock and inked clouds onto it using my My Favorite Things Cloud stencil. As there is already black in the card I… Continue reading Happy Lunar New Year, year of the Tiger
Bore da blossoms! Today I'm taking part in another Team Tiny YouTube hop, and I'd love it if you could search the hashtag #TeamTinyIceCreamHop to watch all the videos created to be part of the hop. Confession: I don't have anything 'Ice Cream' themed in my stash so I needed to buy something in especially… Continue reading Team Tiny Ice Cream Hop
This week I made another card 'to sell' to my Mum because she asked for feminine birthday cards as well. My crafty mojo is rock bottom at the moment - unfortunately my Seasonal Affective Disorder is really bad at the moment, so I'm constantly tired and I just don't have any energy. I wake up,… Continue reading Birthday card using Pantone color of 2019 – Living Coral
My Mum talked to me over the holidays and told me that she had to buy some cards for upcoming birthdays and that when she got to the till the cost was extortionate - if I make cards, why don't I sell them? Well, to be honest I'd been thinking about it for a while… Continue reading Masculine Birthday card
Eurgh!!!! As per usual, I am WAAAAAAAY behind with making my thank you cards for Christmas presents... Honestly, I don't know where the time goes!? I wanted to try to make these cards 'quick and simple' so I could get them done and posted before New Year (groan...) so I went for a monochromatic colour… Continue reading Thank you cards
It was my Mum's birthday on Tuesday, but this week has been demanding at work so I'm only able to blog about it now! This card is completely inspired by THESE CARDS that Amy Rsavy created at the beginning of the month, so not my original idea at all. So I don't have the Picket… Continue reading Mum’s birthday card using Prima princess stamp
I can't get over the fact that my Granny will be 98 on Wednesday!!? I made her a card with my CUTplorations 'Bloomtangled #1 Cover Plate' die with black card. Using the design of the die I added alcohol inks to Yupo paper. Inks used were Botanical, Limeade, Eggplant, Raspberry, Watermelon and Gold Mixative. I… Continue reading Birthday card using alcohol inks
There are two answers to this phrase - one is more 'adult' than the other. I found a card with 'When life gives you lemons grab tequila and salt' in a card shop and it made me giggle, so I bought it on impulse and it has been sitting in my 'store bought' cards pouch… Continue reading When life gives you lemons…
I don't know why but the second I saw this set debuted on YouTube I knew I HAD to have it - it was love a first sight... So I have been checking the Seven Hills Crafts website daily (sometimes more than daily) until it was in stock and I snapped it up, then set… Continue reading Fruity card using Altenew Main Squeeze stamp and die set
I blended Distress Inks in Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers and Seedless Preserves on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Neenah classic crest. I sprayed the ink blended panel with clean clear water and blotted it with tissue paper, then used Hero Arts Shimmer Mist in pearlescent white to resemble stars. On a separate… Continue reading Dream big card using Hero Arts stamps
