Special Friend

Hi all :) 

Have you seen the latest launch from Hunkydory Crafts? Over at Create & Craft they have just launched the Christmas USB and I was very lucky to create some samples with it. It's packed full of awesome collections and images. Here is a little gift bag I made...

This one is taken from the Cute Christmas Collection - how sweet is that little robin. This box is the 2, 5, 10 box (you should find the template on google) it's so easy to make and perfect for little presents & sweeties. I mounted the topper and sentiment onto mirri card for added sparkle!

I will be back soon with more creations :)

Happy Christmas Mice

Hi all :) 

It's been raining all here today so I have been making some Christmas cards including this one! Have you seen the latest release from Lili Of The Valley? I was lucky enough to get some of the Simply Print Images to make up some samples. Here is my first from this collection...

For this card I used the Simply Print - Happy Christmouse - isn't it just so adorable! You can also get this design as a stamp and digi too. The papers I used are Dovecraft Krafty Christmas, which is an old paper pad. All the papers were mounted onto kraft card and I added a doily. I have used quite a few dies on this card. The trees are by Magnolia, the flowers are Sue Wilson, the banner us by Reverse Confetti and the swirls are Die-namics. I also added a ton of glitter (it's so sparkly and winter looking in real life), some gems, ribbon, lace and a die cut sentiment.

I will be back soon :)

Hi all :) 

I am back with another card today! I am churning them out at the moment. This one is another Tatty Teddy card, I just love creating these! So cheerful, fun and cute...

Anniversary Bears

Hi all :) 

I am back - I know two posts in one day! I just wanted to share one of my Tatty Teddy creations. As many of you will know, I LOVE Tatty Teddy so obviously I just had to get the latest crafting kit from Create & Craft...

How cute are these bears!? I used papers, decoupage and a sentiment all from the kit. I used a Memory Box Banner Die and a Butterfly Die that I got in The Works. The scroll frame is a die by Tattered Lace.  I also added some gems and mounted them all onto a circle card blank that i got at Crafting Live.

Bamboo Roses

Hi all :) 

I've had a busy morning making some TV samples for Hunkydory so just had time for a break, lunch and to update my blog! Today I am sharing a quick, clean and simple card I made for Craft Stamper...

For this card I used the gorgeous Altenew Bamboo Roses Stamps. I roughly coloured them using my Kuretake Clean Color Markers and I added some blue around the edges. I stamped the sentiment (from the same set) and popped it onto foam pads.

I will be back soon!

Winter Wonderland

Hi all :) 

A bit of a horrible wet day here today after many storms last night - perfect weather for crafting though! Especially when I have so many Christmas projects on the go! I'm working on the next Hunkydory release so I thought I would share a card made for the Hunkydory as part of my DT duties....

For this card I used the Primrose Lane at Christmas Craft Stack. This is quite a big 3d card, sort of like an easel card but with snowy acetate to make it more Christmassy! I also added some gems and ribbon to finish.

I will be back soon :)

Beach Life

Hi all :) 

Well today has been like winter here with masses of rain! So in the hope it may bring the sunshine back, I am sharing a summer beach themed card. This one was made for Paper Crafter Magazine...

For this card I used a Studiolight Die Cut Pack - it's packed full of fabulous die cuts perfect for making scenes. I distressed all the edges of my card and die cuts using distress inks. I then added some frantage embossing powder around the background to create a glittery sand type effect. I layered all my die cuts up and used foam pads to make them 3d. I also added some rustic twine too.

You Mean The World To Me

Hi all :) 

I hope you all have had a lovely weekend - we had some glorious sunshine so we spent most the weekend down on the coast in Weymouth. Love that's it's only minutes away from us. Today I am sharing a card that was recently in Crafts Beautiful Magazine...

It's not very often I make boy cards so this was a nice change! I used the super cute astronaut stamps by MFT Stamps called Space Explorer. I created the background using some distress inks and water splats. The stars are also slightly glittery although you can't see in the picture. I die cut the panel using the Wonky Stitched Edge Rectangle Die-namics and also used Double Stitched Circle Die-namics. All the images were coloured using Copics and the sentiment was from the stamp set.

I will be back soon :)

Beach Hut

Hello all :) 

Just thought I would pop on to quickly share my final card from my 'Shaped Card School' project that was in Quick Cards Magazine. So first up was my garden shed but I also used the same template to create Beach Hut! So here is my beach hut card..

It's always a challenge to create shaped cards from scratch but I managed it! The papers I used on this are by Papermania and have lots of wood effects, perfect for sheds and huts. The stamps are by Hunkydory and I also used some First Edition Dies for the sentiment. I also dusted some distress ink around the edges of my card to finish.

I will be back tomorrow :)

I have had a very busy weekend, so sorry for the lack of posts! Have you seen the latest collection from Hunkydory - it sold out within 48 hours but they have managed to get it back into stock. You can still catch many live shows on Create & Craft. I am of course talking about the new Christmas Craft Stacks. I got to play with the new Christmas At Primrose Lane, here is one of my cards for the DT...

Everything I used on this quick card is from the Primrose Lane 8x8 Craft Stack. I mounted the background onto gold mirri and I also added some gold gems to finish. A nice and easy one to show off the stunning toppers!I have quite a few samples to show you, so I will add more on here soon as I can :)
