A scientist's crafty side
Today is my Godmother's 70th Birthday. I made her an exploding box as a special birthday card and gave it to her a few days ago, so I'll share it with you now. I started with a 297mm x 297mm piece of 300gsm purple card and used my Crafter's Companion Ultimate Pro to score the… Continue reading 70th birthday exploding box card
Today is my friend's birthday and he is training to be a doctor, he has his finals very soon. I still want to keep going with the positive statements on birthday cards, and I thought I would go with a punny one today - he will be a doctor, so why not have some anatomically… Continue reading Follow your hearts desire
Hi! This is my second card for today. So I didn't leave myself enough time to make this card... So the sentiment has been stamped SOOOOO badly - it was my second go at the sentiment as well, but I had to go with what I got - I'm not proud of it at all,… Continue reading Climb every mountain high
Two of my friends have birthdays today, so I have two cards to share this morning (you can probably tell I was in a bit of a rush to post them on time from the rushed photography!!) For some reason all of my friends feel a bit down at the moment - maybe it's just… Continue reading Reach for the stars
Next week it will be Chinese New Year, the year of the monkey. Outside China the next largest celebration of Chinese New Year is in London - so if you ever get the chance go to China town in London to enjoy the festivities. I've made a Chinese New Year card for my step mother… Continue reading Happy Chinese New Year
I've made my Christmas thank-you cards, at last, so I'm going to share them with you. I'm always trying to look for novel thank you card ideas. I learned Spanish for a year at school, but because I was struggling in other subjects I was forced to give it up. So my Spanish has never… Continue reading Moo-chas grass-ias!
Hi all! I just wanted to share the CAS birthday card I made for my best friend. Having a December birthday sucks - everyone always gives her birthday/Christmas combined presents, so I wanted to make her a lovely birthday card to go with her birthday presents to make sure she feels special. I die cut… Continue reading Best Friend’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 greeting in a stamp set somewhere, I couldn't justify getting the stamp set, but I have alphabet stamps, so I wanted to make it with my alphabet stamps. My last blog post hinted that I was stressed and rather unhappy and as a crafter I know that colouring is a really good… Continue reading Hey Ghoul-friend!
I'm so blessed - I've been working really hard recently and I found it was affecting my mood - I went on Facebook and all my friends were sharing how wonderful their lives were and how they just couldn't be happier. I had been working 11/12 and 13 hour days and been unable to fit… Continue reading Autumnal thank-you
