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”

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”
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”
More of the doggo!
Just a quick post for this card. I like how it came out, but it really was an assembly job! I found a really lovely set of blank dog themed cards in a sale and thought they would make super cute backgrounds for the dog cards I make. So they were, though to be honestContinue reading “More of the doggo!”
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.”
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”
