Cousin’s Birthday card

Today is my cousin's birthday, so I'd like to share the card I've made for her with you this afternoon. I've been pinning LOADS of cards recently, and was so taken with them all that I lost my mojo. Do you get that some times? I'm so excited by new ideas that I don't sit… Continue reading Cousin’s Birthday card

Suicide Squad inspired birthday card

Have you seen Suicide Squad at the cinema? I went to see it at the weekend with a friend and we enjoyed it but felt that the costumes were very tailored to a male audience. I loved all the promotional artwork though - a mix of Neon and classic comic book style. Today is my… Continue reading Suicide Squad inspired birthday card

70th birthday exploding box card

Today is my Godmother's 70th Birthday. I made her an exploding box as a special birthday card and gave it to her a few days ago, so I'll share it with you now. I started with a 297mm x 297mm piece of 300gsm purple card and used my Crafter's Companion Ultimate Pro to score the… Continue reading 70th birthday exploding box card

Climb every mountain high

Hi! This is my second card for today. So I didn't leave myself enough time to make this card... So the sentiment has been stamped SOOOOO badly - it was my second go at the sentiment as well, but I had to go with what I got - I'm not proud of it at all,… Continue reading Climb every mountain high

Reach for the stars

Two of my friends have birthdays today, so I have two cards to share this morning (you can probably tell I was in a bit of a rush to post them on time from the rushed photography!!) For some reason all of my friends feel a bit down at the moment - maybe it's just… Continue reading Reach for the stars

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!

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
