I babysat my two young nieces recently, and I took the opportunity to help them make a Mothers Day card for their mum. Both are under 4 years old, so their input can only be limited at the moment, but they enjoyed helping me. I want to share my love of papercrafts with them and… Continue reading Mother’s Day Crafting with Children
When Lawn Fawn debuted their fabulous scalloped box card pop-up die, I knew it was a must have! They have included so many dies in the set, so it's great value, and it makes it so easy to create interactive cards. I also love that, when folded, the cards fit in a normal envelope. I… Continue reading Easter Box Pop-Up Card
For this months challenge at Seven Hills Crafts, I chose the middle colour palette. I started by die cutting three Lawn Fawn stitched squares, and stamping a Mama Elephant Little Cat in each. I coloured them with copics and promarkers, adding some glitter to the accessories. Next, I die cut two MFT Stepped Up Chevrons… Continue reading Seven Hills Crafts Feb 2017 Colour Challenge
With three nieces, the MFT Once Upon a Time stamp set was a must have for me! I decided to make a pop-up card for a fun surprise when the card is opened. It took a little more time to put together, but I'm really pleased with the end result. I hope you'll head over… Continue reading Fairytale Pop-Up
Happy Tuesday! My card today is inspired by selective colour photos, where one part of the image stays in colour whilst the rest is black and white. For all the details, head over to the Seven Hills Crafts blog.

On a Lawn Fawn stitched square die cut, I stamped the greetings in Versafine onyx black and heat embossed them using sparkling embossing powder. The sentiments are from the Clearly Besotted… Continue reading Teacher Christmas Card
The dandelion dreams stamp set is still a firm favourite of mine from Clearly Besotted. Today I'm sharing a triptych card I made with it. On a piece of A6 white card, I white heat embossed the dandelion head and stem, and some seeds floating away. Next, I blended on distress inks in dark blues.… Continue reading Dandelion Dreams Triptych
I'm following the sketch challenge at Seven Hills Craft blog today. The Happy Hedgehogs stamp set was definitely my favourite from the latest MFT release. I think they will be featuring on a lot of my cards. I die cut three white square frames using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Squares dies. The images from the… Continue reading September Sketch Challenge
I thought I'd have a go at making a spinner card, which seem popular at the moment. I admit, this attempt didn't go quite to plan, as I think I could have used better thread. The one I used keeps loosening, no matter how much tape I use! Never mind, it's fun to experiment and… Continue reading Spinner card
