A scientist's crafty side
I thought I would try to share where my inspiration came from in this post, because I haven't shared a sketch or 'inspiration' picture in a while. I had this pin on Pinterest for its positive message and I thought it was gorgeous, then I got to thinking "Come on, you must be able to… Continue reading Niece’s Birthday card
I love Gorguss by Santoro because it reminds me of my youngest niece, so this year I made her a card using the 'The Runaway' stamp set by docrafts. The main image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah Classic Crest card. I coloured it with my Specturm Noir pens. The horse's body:… Continue reading Niece’s 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
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
Today is my best friend's 30th birthday! I'll be meeting with her later today in a pub near her house with other friends of hers where I can give her her card & presents. I wanted to make her a card in a box, which I had never done before, so I started early (in… Continue reading Best Friend’s 30th

This birthday card wasn't going to be any less exotic, so when I… Continue reading Plumeria birthday card
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!
I won't lie - it was my Step Aunt's 60th about the same time it was my Niece's 10th Birthday, but I was so ill I've only just finished the tag for her present! I was going to make her a card, but as it's now past her birthday, I'll just attach a tag to… Continue reading 60th Birthday Tag
Today is my eldest Niece's birthday, but because I've been ill for the last few days I didn't get her card completed until today! I used a white 6x6 tent-fold card for the base. I cut the green square from some patterned paper I got as a freebee with Cardmaking and Papercraft and attached it… Continue reading 10th Birthday Card
Today is a fellow PhD student's 30th birthday!!!!!!! She is having a party tomorrow, but here is the card I've made for her... I used a grey 6x6 card for the card base. I've had the Dovecraft 'Tea Party' paper packs and die-cut glitter decoupage pad for ages - what better excuse for cupcakes than… Continue reading 30th Birthday Card
