I seem to be using my distress oxide inks on everything right now! I was a little late to the party and, frankly, wasn’t sure what all the fuss was about! That was until I got a set, and they really are as fabulous as everyone says! I got the WPlus9 Holiday Trimmings stamp set… Continue reading Holiday Trimmings and Distress Oxides

Little Agenda Hooray
Happy Saturday! As many of you may know, I’m a fan of a cover die. Especially ones as versatile as the Mama Elephant Grid Window. What I love about this one is the possibilities for different looks, just by cutting it and making larger windows within the frame. For my card today, I've combined it… Continue reading Little Agenda Hooray
MFT Sketch Challenge 356
I’m having fun joining in with the MFT sketch challenges. Sketches are definitely my favourite type of challenge - I love having a starting point and figuring out how to interpret it. This is my card for sketch challenge 356. I started by die cutting a rounded rectangle from the blueprints 31 set. From this,… Continue reading MFT Sketch Challenge 356
Merry and Bright
I’m in full Christmas card crafting mode now! I was so pleased when WPlus9 re-released the Holiday Trimmings stamp set. I love the modern look and the beautifully written sentiments that WPlus9 do so well. I’ve gone with some non traditional Christmas colours for my card today. Using the 'merry & bright' sentiment as inspiration,… Continue reading Merry and Bright

MFT Sketch Challenge 355

I’d made a mistake when stamping on it, but decided to keep it anyway, just in case I could use it somehow. I loved the look of the stamping for this card so I… Continue reading MFT Sketch Challenge 355
MFT Sketch Challenge 354
I’m joining in with this weeks sketch challenge on the MFT blog. I decided to rotate the sketch to make it a vertical card. I die cut a rounded rectangle using a die from the Blueprints 31 set. I adhered patterned paper to the edges, also cut with the die to get the same shape… Continue reading MFT Sketch Challenge 354
Jumping in Autumn Leaves
The girl from the MFT Jumping with Joy stamp set looks like she's having so much fun, playing in the leaves! I coloured her in using Faber Castell Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils. The die cut leaves are heat embossed in gold and coloured with Zig Clean Colour Real Brush pens. On a piece of white… Continue reading Jumping in Autumn Leaves
Carousel of Colour
At the beginning of September, we have the local fair in my town. It visits each year and I always love walking through the fair during my lunch break, taking photos, sampling food, and watching all the fun. It inspired my card today. I wanted to show the fun and excitement of the fair by… Continue reading Carousel of Colour
Little Cat Agenda Thank You
I had an important thank you card to make recently. The vet that I took my cats to for many years was closing down, so I wanted to send them a card to show my gratitude for all they have done for me and my cats. I created a light distress ink blend on a… Continue reading Little Cat Agenda Thank You
