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

Strawberry Birthday card
Today is my Grandmother's 93rd birthday! I wanted to make her a special card to celebrate her birthday, but not too fussy because it had to go in the post!

After the loss of my step brother I have been restless and found solace in some papercrafting. I wanted to do a papercrafting project that would have nothing to do with him, so no travel or holiday themes and nothing masculine.

First flat
My best friend from school has just bought her first flat (which is tough at this time so I'm really thrilled for her!). I wanted to make her a card ASAP so it would arrive when her flat was still 'new' so I've gone for a very clean and simple card! I used an A6… Continue reading First flat

My Mum was heading out to see a friend for the weekend this morning & had a present to take with her, but didn't have a tag & was going through her 'tag stash' (whenever my Mum gets cards she cuts off the front & punches a hole in it to make it into a… Continue reading Present Tag
