For my first post of 2019 on the Seven Hills Craft blog, I keeping with my tradition of sharing a card that's inspired by the Pantone Colour of the Year. This year it's Living Coral, which is described by Pantone as 'an animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens… Continue reading Pantone Colour of the Year 2019
Although I’m spending most of my crafty time making Christmas cards these days, I still need birthday cards too. Today I’m sharing a simple design that would be easy to create multiples of, if needed. I began by stamping the large cake image from MFT Happy Hippos. I coloured it some alcohol markers, then cut… Continue reading Happy Birthday with Alphabet Sets
Today I’m sharing a reveal wheel birthday card. I’m really enjoying using this and the add-on dies. They are one of the easiest interactive cards to put together, and people love to receive them.

Today I have two Christmas cards to share, using some lovely products from Mama Elephant and Lawn Fawn.

Today I’m sharing a Lawn Fawn Coaster Critters box card pop up. This is still one of my favourite interactive dies as it’s not overly complicated to put together or bulky to post.

Today I’m sharing a card that’s full of hearts. I chose one of my favourite colour schemes - rose gold, navy and pink. Using the MFT Full of Heart cover die, I partially die cut three rows of hearts at the top of a piece of white card. I then left a gap of two… Continue reading Full of Heart
For my card today, I’m using the some images included in the MFT Happy Hippos stamp set. These smaller images are fun to use around a birthday sentiment. You could of course add a hippo or bird too, but I wanted to keep the card simple and focus on the sentiment. I began by stamping… Continue reading Birthday Wishes with Small Images
Today I have a fireworks card to share. I kept the colour scheme minimal for a classic look. I began by inking a piece of card with distress oxides in black soot, faded jeans and hickory smoke. I put this aside to dry whilst I worked on the sentiment. Using the MFT Cheers word die,… Continue reading Firework Cheers
