CAS Lillies


 I find flower stamps quite tricky : some of them I can look at and feel totally stumped, while others - like this one - I use over and over again. I've made several sympathy cards with it,over the years, but birthday / thankyou cards too,

Car with Tree and Lights


 I find my blog post titles becoming less and less imaginative! 

This car stamp is by Stamping Bella - I coloured it with markers and added white gel pen, liberally.

 I designed and cut these candles on my Silhouette cameo. The star-shaped 'flames' and sentiment are stamped and I dry embossed the card base.

Pizza Party



 Here's a birthday card for my pizza-loving son. I used an SVG cutting file. I stamped the banner and sentiment (Avery Elle??) and created and cut the 18 on my digital cutting machine.

Frosted Noel


 It's warm and humid here in south east England but it's very frosty on this Christmas card. I used a Hobby Art stamp, white embossing powder, white pencil and a border doodled with white gel pen.

Three Cats


Since the weather warmed up, my cat has been pretty much living wild in a thicket behind our house- he just comes in for food and shoots off again. He also seems to have made a friend - another black and white cat from some neighbouring flats. They sit a few metres away from each other though, not cuddling up like the three on my card.

OLC Christmas


 Back after a little blog break and straight in with a Christmas in July card . Actually, I don't think there's a month in the year when I wouldn't enjoy making a Christmas card - I just love them! 

This one-layer card uses a Woodware penguin and snowflakes by Uniko.

Wedding Card


 I made this card for my nephew's wedding. I designed and cut it on my Silhouette Cameo digital cutter, using foiled scrapbook papers and a scrapbook embellishment as the sentiment. The main image is Colorado Craft bunnies.
