Little Agenda Christmas Cards

I really love all the “Little Agenda” stamp sets from Mama Elephant! I wanted to use the little reindeer to make my personal Xmas cards for my friends. I saw an idea for a card with hanging ornaments as the main structure by Melania Deasy and I decided to convert that idea to a starContinue reading “Little Agenda Christmas Cards”

Fire! Fire!

Did you sing “Pour on Water” after reading the title? Ok, maybe just me, lol. Quick Fireman themed card using vintage illustrations mainly from a ladybird book. Also wanted to try a circle layout, seemed to add some interest, which kind of help men’s cards sometimes. Using up some of my brad stash again, IContinue reading “Fire! Fire!”

Studio-Light-Christmas

I really enjoy doing Studio Light decoupage for Christmas cards, adding other bits to the kits to personalise them. It’s really relaxing and I like doing something a bit different for a crafty change. Just a few photos of the cards I made for last year. I like combo’ing this nordic-esque style with some woodenContinue reading “Studio-Light-Christmas”

Dyb Dyb Dyb

Another quick post because this card was very simple, but I think it worked out well. I make a fair few scout related cards so was happy with a new idea of using the old “dyb, dyb, dyb” cliché. It would have actually been pretty speedy to make using the electronic cutter, but for someContinue reading “Dyb Dyb Dyb”

Chill in the sun

Its a Stamp Anniething DT Tuesday and I thought I would continue with my pencil stencil experiments and have a go with the Tiki Hut Stencil Builder by itself this time! Just as in my recent FB Live, I made a pastel background to start with, then used pencils on top! I also decided toContinue reading “Chill in the sun”

Fortnite

Thought I would do a speedy post today and share something that might be useful! Fortnite themed card for a teenager. Cos we can’t always make the themes we prefer to make! 🙂 It was a personal use card, I found some free downloadable elements and constructed a picture using them. I decoupaged the mainContinue reading “Fortnite”

Flowers and Buttons

Back on the marathon card catch-up! I made this set of flowery cards using a free set from Making Cards Magazine, and maybe some elements from previous sets from them that matched well. Also a personal challenge this set was to use some buttons, I’ve always struggled to make buttons look intentional and not likeContinue reading “Flowers and Buttons”

Balloons!

Another LOTV character, this is Scruffy Edward, and I used him for a Baby Shower card! I had already made this family a baby shower card with a balloon theme, so decided to keep the balloon theme for their second child! I don’t often colour with copics these days but decided they would be perfectContinue reading “Balloons!”

Simply Santa

Happy Dr.Digi Friyay! 😀 A crafty friend asked me why I hadn’t coloured “Simply Santa” yet, so I decided to accept that challenge! 🙂 Here is the digi in the shop: Here is my version: This was super quick to colour up, and I think a very friendly santa for your Xmas makes! I thoughtContinue reading “Simply Santa”

Polka Dots First Birthday

I went for a little look for other LOTV baby cards and found two more! Perhaps I should try to sound more organised! It’s a rather long outstanding blogging list, I confess. doh! So I ma back with Polka Dot, from Lili of the Valley that I coloured with polychromos for a commissioned first birthdayContinue reading “Polka Dots First Birthday”
