Stylish Birthday Card

Today is my friend's birthday & I've popped his card and present through his door so I can share this with you now. He's always been very image conscious; well groomed and well dressed with shiny shoes. So I felt wishing him a stylish birthday would be a nice twist on the 'happy birthday' sentiment.… Continue reading Stylish Birthday Card

Mum’s Birthday Card and present

Friday will be my mother's birthday and she isn't very 'computer savvy' so I feel safe posting this before her birthday.

Using my Perfect… Continue reading Mum’s Birthday Card and present

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.

Today is Father's Day here in the UK, so this is the card and matching tags I made for my Step Dad.

Masculine birthday card

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 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!

Niece’s 7th Birthday Card

My youngest Niece turns 7 today! How time flies!! I've seen so many cards using watercolour techniques that look amazing & I keep jealously thinking "hmmm, mine would never look that good - it would run everywhere and look aweful", but then I thought to myself - I have watercolour paper, water-based inks, paint brushes,… Continue reading Niece’s 7th Birthday Card

With Birthdays comes birthday money to spend on new crafty things!

I decided… Continue reading 30th Birthday Thank you cards
