A scientist's crafty side
I was inspired by Nina-Marie Trapani's cards using the two Pantone colours of 2021 (you can see her cards on the Simon Says Stamp Blog here). I won't lie I don't like yellow much, so I had been really struggling to work out how I was going to create a card(s) using the colours for… Continue reading Thank you cards using Pantone’s colours of the year 2021
Eurgh!!!! As per usual, I am WAAAAAAAY behind with making my thank you cards for Christmas presents... Honestly, I don't know where the time goes!? I wanted to try to make these cards 'quick and simple' so I could get them done and posted before New Year (groan...) so I went for a monochromatic colour… Continue reading Thank you cards
So I'm late to the party, but I got some alcohol inks and Yupo paper and I had a little play! I wanted my card to be on the greener end of the spectrum so I used 'Turqouise', 'Limeade' and gold mixative. I used my flet tool to spread the gold mixative and it all… Continue reading Thank you card using alcohol inks
It was my birthday last week, to be honest it was a bit overshadowed by passing my viva - it still doesn't feel real and I'm wandering about in a bit of a daze! However, with birthdays come lots of lovely gifts and thank you cards (because everyone likes snail mail that isn't a bill,… Continue reading Birthday thank you cards with SSS flora stamp
It's time for the disclaimer again! I made this card in November, but I've only just blogged about it now, which is why it's a bit out of sync with the seasons!!

Secondly, I wanted to share this card with you. I received a belated birthday present from a friend of the family who has moved house recently… Continue reading Thank you card
I'm still working hard on my long experiment - I can't believe I've been doing it for a month!! My friend Holly only started card making this year, but she's really got into it and wanted to enter some competitons. I've realised that I've been so taken up in my work that I haven't entered… Continue reading Lawn Fawn slider card
Normally I don't get coughs and colds, but I was REALLY ill between Boxing Day and my first day back at work so I didn't make any Thank you cards for my Christmas presents, but now I'm feeling better I have remedied the situation. Pinterest is awash with rainbow cards at the moment - the… Continue reading Christmas Thank you cards
Last month I had a long weekend in Devon with my Fairy Godparents, it was so nice to get away from my PhD deadlines for a few days! My parents looked after the kittens whilst I was away so they were at home, not in a cattery. I wanted to give my Godparents a thank… Continue reading Autumnal Thank you card
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!
