A colleague of mine is celebrating her 30th birthday this week, so I wanted to make her a special birthday card. I've been toying with the idea of a bunting birthday card for a few months and had ideas about what stamps and die cuts to use & now I finally had a good reason… Continue reading Bunting Birthday Card #1

Moulin Rouge Birthday Card!
Today is a colleague's birthday and he was asked what he wanted to do for his birthday & he (like most men) said "dunno"... For whatever reason he was watching the Moulin Rouge 'Lady Marmalade' cover version & he said "I'd love it if I could have a party where all the girls dressed like… Continue reading Moulin Rouge Birthday Card!
Flowers Birthday Card
Tomorrow is one of my Fairy Godmother's birthdays! (I was never Baptised, but my Mother chose two Godmothers, so they are affectionately referred to as my 'Fairy' Godmothers!) This Fairy Godmother lives in a lovely appartment with her two cats and she loves flowers and has an allotment. I wanted to create a card for… Continue reading Flowers Birthday Card
Birthday Card for my Step Sister
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

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! Because the Wimbledon Championships have been played recently strawberries are very much in season right now, so I thought this lovely stamp that I bought… Continue reading Strawberry Birthday card
Hey there little lady card
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. I have lots of sketches in my ideas book that I scribble in at… Continue reading Hey there little lady card
Father’s Day Card
Because of the recent sad loss of my step brother I wanted to make a very clean and simple Father's Day card for my step father. I used a white 6" x 6" square base card. I had some metallic papers in my stash from when I was at University in Liverpool that I purchased… Continue reading Father’s Day Card
Good Luck!
I have two male friends who are in need of 'good luck' cards this week - one who is defending his MSc project and another who is sitting his first year Medical exams. Because they are both male I decided I wanted to make the same card but with personal touches, such as the colours… Continue reading Good Luck!
Mermaid card
I went to stay with my Fairy Godparents (long story) in Devon last weekend and had a lovely time! I wanted to send them a thank you card with a difference... I had some circular apeture cards in my stash so I decided to use one of those so I could get in lots of… Continue reading Mermaid card
