I've been admiring for a while on Instagram the lovely stamps from a brand called The Ton Stamps. Here is a card I made with The Ton Stamps Always Cherry Blossoms stamp set: I stamped and heat embossed the large stamp with gold embossing powder, onto watercolour card.

For my nieces birthday back in April, I created a poppy fairy card, with help from my sister, who designed the fairy. My eldest niece had her 3rd birthday this month, so we thought she should have a fairy card too. This time we made a fuchsia fairy card. Most of the steps for this… Continue reading Fuchsia Fairy
Today I'm sharing a musical geometric patterned card I made for my brother. I ran some dark grey card through my die cut machine with the Lil'Inker Designs Woodgrain cover die. I blended distress ink in green and yellow onto white card, then used the Lil'Inker Designs Quilted Stitch cover die to add detail. I… Continue reading Musical Geometric Card

The card I'm sharing today was quick and simple to make. I started by drawing a faint line in pencil across a piece… Continue reading Lil’Inker Dual Stitched Triangles

My niece is celebrating her 1st birthday this month. Her mum (my sister) and I created a very special card for her. We wanted the card to feature a fairy surrounded by poppies. My sister sketched out a fun design and then I started work creating the card. Fairy: As I don't have a fairy stamp… Continue reading Poppy Fairy
I'm joining in with the CAS(E) This Sketch challenge today. I thought I'd combine their sketch with the colours from the Color Throwdown challenge. When I saw the sketch, I thought a butterfly and trail would work well. I cut a rectangle of white card slightly smaller than A6, on which I die cut the… Continue reading Butterfly CAS Card
