Hi All! I hope you had a good weekend? Today is another friend's 30th birthday and I know he got his card in the post so I feel that I can post about it now. He is an engineer who is also in TWO bands, so I really wanted to make him a music/guitar themed… Continue reading Rock’n’Roll Birthday card

Father’s Day Card and tags 2015
I'm sure I've said it before, but my Step Dad has a Narrowboat so I regularly make him nautical-themed cards. Today is Father's Day here in the UK, so this is the card and matching tags I made for my Step Dad. I used a white textured A5 card base and attached a Kraft card… Continue reading Father’s Day Card and tags 2015
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

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!

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

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.

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!!
