Disclaimer: I made these gift card holders for book token gift cards I gave to my nieces at Christmas, but I have only had the time to blog about them now... Also, sorry the only photo I took was on my mobile phone so the quality isn't great! I die cut the dies from Neenah… Continue reading Honey bee Christmas gift card holders
Today is my Granny's 96th birthday, so I wanted to share the card I made for her with you this evening. I've been loving all the white with a splash of colour cards I've seen on Pinterest, so this is my take on the look. I started out with the Creative Expressions 'Striplet - Floral… Continue reading Granny’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

Using my Perfect… Continue reading Mum’s Birthday Card and present

So many of my friends had babies last year, and the first of them to be born will turn 1 next week. Time flies!!! I have this 12x12 cardstock pad called 'Hopscotch' by K&Company which has lots of bold colours and patterns on it, and I thought this page would be perfect for a little… Continue reading First Birthday Card
I'm sure I've mentioned it hundreds of times, but my Grandmother is 94 and lives alone, so I like to make her a card for Christmas because she doesn't get very many. Unfortunately her sight and hearing are both very bad, which adds to her isolation - she has a carer who comes in daily… Continue reading Granny’s Christmas Card
So I know what you're thinking - what happened to card #4? Well I thought it was better to post 4 cards on time and one late than 3 cards on time and two late, so I used the card I made for World Card Making Day 2014 as card #4... I apologise WHOLEHEARTEDLY to… Continue reading Christmas Card Swap Card #5
