A scientist's crafty side
Bore da blossoms! Today I'm taking part in another Team Tiny YouTube hop, and I'd love it if you could search the hashtag #TeamTinyIceCreamHop to watch all the videos created to be part of the hop. Confession: I don't have anything 'Ice Cream' themed in my stash so I needed to buy something in especially… Continue reading Team Tiny Ice Cream Hop
I'm so excited! I ordered the Tim Holtz Distress bundle for the brand new colour 'Speckled Egg' and it's arrived!! I didn't have any Distress Oxides or Distress Oxide sprays before I ordered this bundle, so I decided to order the Peacock Feathers and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide sprays as well so I could have… Continue reading Distress Speckled Egg haul and card
This week I made another card 'to sell' to my Mum because she asked for feminine birthday cards as well. My crafty mojo is rock bottom at the moment - unfortunately my Seasonal Affective Disorder is really bad at the moment, so I'm constantly tired and I just don't have any energy. I wake up,… Continue reading Birthday card using Pantone color of 2019 – Living Coral
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
I made this card for my friend Petra. She recently started a new job and we got her a card with the sentiment 'Be a flamingo in a flock of pigeons' I thought I should use this stamp set for her birthday card to continue the flamingo theme.

How is it September already? Today is my cousin's birthday and this is the Autumnal-themed card I made her. I hope you can tell from the close-up how gorgeous the copper card is! I hope you have a good week!
It was my Mum's birthday on Tuesday, but this week has been demanding at work so I'm only able to blog about it now! This card is completely inspired by THESE CARDS that Amy Rsavy created at the beginning of the month, so not my original idea at all. So I don't have the Picket… Continue reading Mum’s birthday card using Prima princess stamp

Using the design of the die I added alcohol inks to Yupo paper. Inks used were Botanical, Limeade, Eggplant, Raspberry, Watermelon and Gold Mixative. I… Continue reading Birthday card using alcohol inks
I die cut several flags from Neenah Desert Storm card and layered 3 on top of each other to make chipboard elements and used my Cropa-dile to cut holes in the flags that I would thread later. I also die cut 'dad' from white card and layered it three times to make it sturdy and… Continue reading Alcohol ink Father’s day card
I see a theme emerging! Last week I made cards using the MFT fiesta word die, this week I've made some pinata cards! I feel like I should call this post "When Nuvo drops don't behave!". Initially, I created a card using the pinata dies and the largest 'In and Out Stitched Oval STAX' die… Continue reading Pinata card using MFT dies
