Swirly kite thank you

Swirly kite thank you

I'm still working with the Swirly Bird set and made another thank you card to co-ordinate with this one I made on Thursday. The waves were repurposed as kite strings and some of those odd shapes I'd seen (lol) were the segments of the kite and the ribbons for it....

Swirly boat thank you

Swirly boat thank you

Today's card uses the Swirly Bird set. I could have ordered this set as part of my pre-order a month ahead of the catty coming out (a perk for SU! demonstrators) but to be honest I just didn't "get it". It seemed to just be a bunch of shapes! But I then saw so many...

A foxy notecard

A foxy notecard

Hi again! After a few weeks holiday after my exams and box of new goodies, I was feeling a little overwhelmed when I sat down to craft yesterday. Do you ever get that feeling of not knowing where to start?. So I turned to the new annual catalogue for my inspiration....

Ribbon balloon card

Ribbon balloon card

I love the new ruffled ribbons that come in the new 1916-18 In Colors. They're just slightly gathered but not too bulky for using on cards. They're perfect for adding a simple bow or knot to a card ... or you can go to town a bit more 🙂 Here I've used two of them...

Affectionately Foiled card

Affectionately Foiled card

Today I'm back with another simple card that shows off the Affectionately Yours DSP - this time, some of the pretty copper foiling. It doesn't show up so well when photographed straight on as below but if you look in the pic above you get an idea of the sparkly sheen...

Sweet Stack Interlocking Squares gatefold

If you're a regular reader then you may know that I've recently been taking my first year Acupuncture exams. My hubby has been really supportive throughout, including helping test me and making sure that I eat! So I made him this card (to go along with a little gift)...

Affectionately Yours card

Affectionately Yours card

As always, SU! have included some great DSP packs in the new catty and one of my favourites is the Affectionately Yours Specialty DSP. Specialty because it includes two copper foiled sheets which are pretty and blingy but the "ordinary" sheets are also gorgeous. I...

My clever crafty hubby

My clever crafty hubby

Yesterday was my birthday. Can you guess which one, lol? Thank you to all who sent cards and good wishes 🙂 My lovely hubby had sneaked into my craft room and created this for me all on his own! The card base is an A5 of Night of Navy. He's also used Silver Foil, the...

Layering Love Shaker card

Layering Love Shaker card

I hope you've had a great bank holiday weekend. I've had great fun crafting. Still working with Layering Love but this time combining it with the Layering Squares framelits to create a shaker card. The card base is an A6 portrait of Dapper Denim. A card front layer of...
