A scientist's crafty side
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
Where does the time go???!!! I cannot believe my eldest Niece is in here teens!! (she was born when I was at University so that makes me feel REALLY OLD!) As it's her 'coming of age' card, I wanted to make it feminine but not girly and I wanted to make it a bit interactive… Continue reading Niece’s 13th Birthday card
Today is my Step-Mother's birthday, I posted her card last week so I hope she gets it today (she lives in Thailand, so I always worry that it will get lost in the post or take ages to get there). She loves card making too and she loves to recieve handmade cards so I wanted… Continue reading Step-Mother’s birthday card
Today is my eldest step-sister's birthday, I'll be going to see her later today, but before I go I'll post her card and present here. I must admit I bought her present in May and started work on this project back in August, but with very little urgency. So it was only right at the… Continue reading Step-Sister’s birthday card
I saw this card on the Heartfelt Creations site and I loved the colour scheme and how sparkly it was! I wanted to re-create it for my Mum's birthday card because she loves purples and greens, and then I realised that it's actually my step sister's birthday before my Mums! (Yes, I am very scatty!)… Continue reading Step sister’s Birthday Card
I'm so pleased that one of my former colleagues has been safely delivered a baby boy! He and his wife have been waiting for a baby for years, so this is such a wonderful moment for them. I love water lillies and I think they are a sign of new life, so I wanted to… Continue reading New Baby card
On Sunday it will be my Granny's 95th birthday, the card is in the post, so I thought I would share it with you. I'm afraid this post is a bit picture heavy due to all the different flowers I made for the card - sorry! I really wanted to try out a cascade card… Continue reading Grandmother’s 95th Birthday card
I've been really inspired by the Clean and Simple look recently and I wanted to give it a go, but I was worried that it would look a bit lost with all the white card! Let me know if you think I got it right! I bought the Creative Expressions 'Finishing Touches - Camellia -… Continue reading Mother’s Day Card 2015
Today is my Step Sister's birthday - her first since the loss of her older brother. I wanted to make her a card that was feminine but a bit elegant and different. I love the impact a black card has - not the first colour you would reach for for a birthday card, right? But… Continue reading Birthday Card for my Step Sister
One of my nieces is 4 this month, so I made her this card. I hope she likes it! I used a white square basecard. The flower paper is from the Dovecraft set 'Tea Party', that I just can't get enough of at the moment! I ripped the edges with a metal ruler to get… Continue reading Birthday card
