A very specific card, as requested by my friend, for her to give to her Dad. He is a big fan of science fiction novels and an author himself. His favourite author is E.E. Smith so I made a background by compiling the images from covers and then printed a small passage from one ofContinue reading “E.E. Smith”

Greetings Earthling!
Teaser for the super new September release from Stamp Anniething today! I love this Greetings Earthling image! I coloured her up and decided I’d like to keep her, so added her to a little notebook I am going to start to keep track of my pencil combo’s in! Here is what the stamp set looksContinue reading “Greetings Earthling!”
Football
I think if you make cards for other people it is inevitable you will have to make the odd football themed card. I am not keen. I usually find a football layout that isn’t too hard to make and then convert that to the relevant team. So this is my current football model that IContinue reading “Football”
Vintage Dog Walking
Had a black and white vintage dog walking idea! I love using vintage images for things, and it pushes me to try a different style to my usual makes! This is a card for a man who walks French Bulldogs. This is the front – Black and white background patterns are free papers from MakingContinue reading “Vintage Dog Walking”
You Gnome Me
This is a bit of a blast from the past, been a long time since I made this but I did really like the end result so posting this one for my reference, if nothing else! This is made using the MFT stamp set, You Gnome Me. I needed a gardening themed birthday card forContinue reading “You Gnome Me”
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”
