This is a 21st birthday card commission, for a great crafty friend who wanted something pub themed for her son who has landed a great job with one of the pub chains. It was pretty hard to take a picture of, it’s both very large and a Z -fold. But if you layout in thisContinue reading “Pub Quiz”

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”
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”
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”
Clouds
I have a fair few baby related cards I haven’t got round to blogging. Often they feature a Lili of the Valley image, still my “go-to” digistamp brand for baby cards. They are really lovely to colour. I hadn’t coloured up “Clouds” before, because I correctly imagined that it would take a looooooonnnnnng time forContinue reading “Clouds”
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”
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.”
