Firstly, I wanted to say thank you so much for joining me on my blog and Instagram throughout 2018. This year in crafting has been such an exciting time for me and I feel very lucky to have worked with so many incredible companies and people. I am so grateful for all the support and… Continue reading Favourites 2018
I'm joining in with the MFT Sketch challenge again this week. I chose to make a masculine card this time. I used the MFT distressed patterns stamp set to stamp some lines down the card, then embossed some of the lines in silver over the top. I used a brush to remove some of the… Continue reading MFT Sketch Challenge 360
I got the Brother Scan N Cut a few months back and am really pleased with my purchase. It’s an investment but I’m sure I’ve already got my money’s worth. A few people have asked me for more information about it, so I thought I’d put my thoughts into a blog post for anyone else… Continue reading Brother Scan N Cut
*Update March 2018* I’ve reverted back to using the Quilled Creations Precision tips. I liked the Woodware ones initially, but after a while, the pins get gummed up and stuck in the lid. Any force results in the pin breaking in the lid. It’s a shame as they seemed a good solution but only a… Continue reading Fine Tips for Glue
I've been using the Avery Elle stamp and die pockets for a while now to keep organised. It's worked really well for me, but I've longed for larger sized pockets as some stamp sets just don't fit. I was so pleased to see that Avery Elle has recently released two new sizes of storage pockets… Continue reading Stamp and die storage
Oh, to have a dedicated craft room, with rows of shelves for inks, stamps, dies, cardstock.... but in my house, I just don't have the space. Sigh. I craft at the dining table. It's more sociable, I suppose, as I'm not sat in a room away from other people, but it does make storage a… Continue reading Craft Organisation
I finally got my hands of a set of the Zig Clean Colour Real Brush pens this weekend. I've seen these used a lot by other crafters online, and have been thinking about getting some for a while. They aren't that easy to find in the UK so when I found a set of 24… Continue reading Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Pens – First Impressions
The new MFT Stamps September release is so lovely, I just had to treat myself to a few pieces. My Favourite Things is quickly becoming 'my favourite brand'! They have a great collection of stamps, dies, stencils, papers and more! The Make the Day Special stamp store has such great service and I received my… Continue reading Make the Day Special Haul #3
I recently ordered some white card to test out for card bases. For me, the card bases will mostly be used as just that, a base. I may occasionally stamp on them directly but I usually like to add at least one layer. So, I'm mostly concerned with them being thick enough to stand up… Continue reading Card Bases and Martha Stewart Mini Scoreboard
After making up my mind to make my own card bases and envelopes, I ordered a 'We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board' and a 'Martha Stewart Mini Scoreboard'. I'll talk more about the score board in a future post on cardstock. I was really excited to try out the envelope punch board. I know… Continue reading Making envelopes using the WRMK Envelope Punch Board
