Heroes in a half shell…

Flashes of inspiration, I love them! That's exactly what happened with this card. I had made a differing turtle card (which will also be on my blog) and whilst making it, a TV show I watched as a small child came to mind. If you are a child of the 1980s / 1990s (or had… Continue reading Heroes in a half shell…

Simply Elegant Magnetic

This was actually the first project I made with the Simply Elegant Suite when I received my pre-order. It was meant to just be a play around that got me my crafting mojo back, but it turned out to be a nice project that I really liked and so here it is. I've changed a… Continue reading Simply Elegant Magnetic

You’re out of this world!

Eeeeek - how darn cute is this card? Now I'll be honest, this card first grabbed my youngest son's attention before it did mine. He is absolutely mad about anything to do with space - rockets, the planets, stars etc. But when you look at it, how can you not add it to your shopping… Continue reading You’re out of this world!

Gothic Elegance

I've always had a bit of gothic streak, stemming from my teens and whilst it isn't as prevalent now, I still love the gothic style and some of the flourishes that form part of it. The Simply Elegant suite caught my eye the first time I flicked through the new Annual Catalogue pages and it… Continue reading Gothic Elegance

You are so turtle-y loved!

Whilst I love teeny tiny small project, I do love it when I can create a large project - something that requires multiple pieces of card and can fit plenty in it. As you can see from the picture, that's certainly what today's project is - it barely fit in my photobooth! But I felt… Continue reading You are so turtle-y loved!

Artistic Thanks

Sometimes the prettiest things happen by accident, you had something completely different in mind or you didn't know what the finished project would look like but you had a play anyway. Today's card is one of those moments, whilst on the phone to a friend I was distracted by the conversation taking place and randomly… Continue reading Artistic Thanks

Succulent Contours

From the new 2021-2023 Incolors, I think Soft Succulent is my favourite. I'm not normally a green fan, but there's something about the muted green shade that I simply cannot stop using. When the demonstrator pre-order opened up, the first things to go in my basket were the new incolor ink pads, card stock, ribbon… Continue reading Succulent Contours
