Spotty Doggo

So this was a commissioned card for a dog loving 70 yr old man! I wanted to try stencilling through a stencil too, so to start, the 3×3 circle grid is a homemade stencil. I did my first ink layer in greeny distress oxides through the circle stencil. I then used various stash stencils withContinue reading “Spotty Doggo”

Throwing things away

I hate throwing away interesting offcuts after spray ink projects! I used up quite a few strips of left over projects to make these two butterfly/bee birthday cards. I inherited these dies but I am pretty sure they are from the Spellbinders Fanciful Flights set. The “happy” die is from Altenew and I printed outContinue reading “Throwing things away”

All great birthdays feature lego.

I loved playing with lego as a child, it seems a lot of other people do, and still play with it as adults. Admittedly some of the bigger sets require considerably more skill to assemble than the old kits I played with as a kid! I reckon I would still enjoy it just as muchContinue reading “All great birthdays feature lego.”

Graphic 45

I feel like I may have had my Botanical Tea papers from Graphic 45 a rather long time! They were beautiful, but kind of too nice to use?? Do you have papers you just, stroke? 🙂 I decided to find my 8×8 pad and a 12×12 set of matching stickers and make a few blankContinue reading “Graphic 45”

Birds!

Another catch up post! Or ketchup post! 😀 I made myself a batch of cards using free bird papers and toppers from Making Cards Magazine. These are some of my favourite papers they have released. I made a spare card with the left overs too, not sure if I took a photo of that tho!Continue reading “Birds!”

Like linocuts but cheating!

Made these two for personal use. I love these Woodware stamps by Jane Gill. They seem to contain all the loveliness of a linocut design with none of the hard work. I wanted a pair of cards for me and my friend to send to the same person, different but also the same, lol! IContinue reading “Like linocuts but cheating!”

‎Stamperia Forest Paper Pad

Hi! This is another catch up post, though I only made these a couple of weeks ago. I received the ‎Stamperia Forest Paper Pad for my last birthday and I finally got a free afternoon to mess about with it for a bit! I made two fish themed (or fishing themed?) long thin cards, DLContinue reading “‎Stamperia Forest Paper Pad”

Rise and Shine

Happy Dr. Digi Friyay! Again! Already! Sometimes it seems to come round so quickly. This new (ish) Rise and Shine Digi looks a lot like how I feel this morning. Blurry! I used quite a few elements from the Dr.Digi shop for this – The Rise and Shine Digistamp, The Mugs Backing Paper Set, TheContinue reading “Rise and Shine”

Better late than never?

I haven’t been very good at blogging all the cards I have made for personal use and for customers. I tend to focus on my Design Team makes, not the other stuff! I’ve made a list of all the projects I think are missing, and I hope to give each one a brief moment inContinue reading “Better late than never?”

C is for Cookie Part II

A second post about my “C is for Cookie” class at Color Youniversity! First Post is here! I just wanted to share with you some more photos and details of the finished Cookie Monster card I created during the class. I thought a circular easel card would be interesting with a circle theme and theContinue reading “C is for Cookie Part II”
