Goodbye Sandwich Students Cards

Awww! I can't believe this crop of Sandwich Students have been with us for just under a year already! They have been wonderful - really engaging & outgoing, throwing themselves into the science & any social occasions with gusto, I'm sure the work groups they have been based with will be sad to see them… Continue reading Goodbye Sandwich Students Cards

Granny’s 94th Birthday!

I'm flabbergasted that it's my Granny's 94th birthday this week! One of my neighbours has some gorgeous flowers outside their front door, so I used this as my inspiration for her card: I started off with an A6 textured white card base & some Stampin' UP! 'Pool Party' card stock, that I stamped with the… Continue reading Granny’s 94th Birthday!

WMFC#21 Anything Goes!

I hope you've all had a nice weekend (despite the weather not being able to make up it's mind!!)? The challenge on Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge is 'Anything Goes', so I thought I would use my 'Festive Foliage' stamps & new dies 🙂 I  bet other crafters don't have this problem, but I'm not very into… Continue reading WMFC#21 Anything Goes!

Stampin’ UP! Catalogue launch party 2014

Ooooh!!!! Too many nice things to buy!! But I made myself a promise: that I would only get inks & cardstock today & amazingly I was strong!! My Stampin' UP! demonstrator Nikki organised the launch party at Debbie's house this morning/afternoon. Unfortunately it was rather wet, but there was lots for us to do inside,… Continue reading Stampin’ UP! Catalogue launch party 2014

A big squishy hug – WMFC 20

I'm just uploading this before rushing off for work!!! I stamped the leaf border from the Waltzingmouse 'Gift Card It' on an A6 white card base (tent fold orientation), then I used the co-ordinating die set to cut the gift card holding strip in the middle of the card & stamped the sentiment in Stampin'… Continue reading A big squishy hug – WMFC 20

Return to blossoming health – WMF20

Phew! I managed to finish this in time to enter the Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge! This fortnight's challenge was colours: Aren't those colours lovely & fresh? I LOVE orchids, so my first thought was to make loads of paper orchids in the colour scheme, but then I realised that that wouldn't really showcase my Waltzingmouse stamps… Continue reading Return to blossoming health – WMF20

Masculine Birthday card

Two posts in one day - I'm on a roll!!! I'll be out in the sunshine later though - I can't resist!!! It was my Step Sister's boyfriend's birthday on Friday & I always find men hard to create cards for...

Father’s Day 2014 tag

Here is the matching tag I made to go with the card I made my Step Dad. I used Stampin' UP! Gumball Green cardstock and the Waltzingmouse Stamps 'Folding tag die set'. I used a different yellow ribbon to the one on the front of the card becuse the hole in the tag is very… Continue reading Father’s Day 2014 tag

Summer starts here – WMF19

I'm not keen on sketch challenges - I find it difficult to start from a sketch, but I wanted to enter the Waltzingmouse Fanatics Challenge, so I decide to give this a go. Below is the sketch for the challenge. I cut a panel of 'Strawberry Slush' and embossed it with my Crafts-Too 'Tropical Flowers'… Continue reading Summer starts here – WMF19

50th Birthday Card

Happy Saturday everyone! Are you enjoying the weekend? Tomorrow I'm going to one of my Mum's former colleague's new house in St. Albans - from what I've seen it looks very nice with an ultra modern interior! Even though all the people my Mum worked with eventually left where they were working together, they have… Continue reading 50th Birthday Card
