A scientist's crafty side
My Mum talked to me over the holidays and told me that she had to buy some cards for upcoming birthdays and that when she got to the till the cost was extortionate - if I make cards, why don't I sell them? Well, to be honest I'd been thinking about it for a while… Continue reading Masculine Birthday card
Today was my Step Dad's 70th birthday, I gave him his card at the weekend so I think I can share it with you now. I wanted to go for a masculine colour scheme, but with lots of sparkle as it is a card for a big birthday. I created the diagonal box card using… Continue reading Step father’s 70th Birthday card
I'm going to my friends birthday party today, so I'll share the card I made for him now before I leave. As the Wimbledon tennis Championships is on at the moment I wanted to make a Wimbledon-themed card. I found this Tennis Racket die by Leane Creatief, which is just perfect for this card! I… Continue reading You’re Ace birthday card
Hmmm... The kittens are adorable, but they are annoying too!! I had made a 50th birthday card using loads of die cut letters and managed to keep them out of the paws (and mouths!) of the kittens, stuck the card together and just had to add the nuvo Crystal Drops to leave them to dry… Continue reading Crafty kittens!
Today is my friend's birthday & I've popped his card and present through his door so I can share this with you now.

So I felt wishing him a stylish birthday would be a nice twist on the 'happy birthday' sentiment.… Continue reading Stylish Birthday Card

I used a white textured A5 card base and attached a Kraft card… Continue reading Father’s Day Card and tags 2015
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
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! Being a little boy I had to use the Waltzingmouse 'Kaboom' stamp set I got with my Birthday money (in case you… Continue reading Josh’s 1st 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. My friend is a sound engeneer so music was an obvious choice of theme for his card. I've seen… Continue reading Charlie’s 30th Birthday card
It will be my Godmother's husband's birthday this week, so I'm making him this card before they fly to the Scilly Isles for a birthday treat. You're probably already aware I like Acid Drops and Whatnots. I got some toppers from them & I think this set is rather good - it's called 'Martini Man'.… Continue reading Masculine birthday card
