Hi and welcome to my cardmaker's blog. I am very lucky to live in a beautiful part of Yorkshire and I am a very young (at heart!) crafter who is supported by a very patient and wonderful. I've been a crafter for many years, but my love of papercraft has become almost an addiction! Like most crafters

Hi Lovelies...
Today I'm sharing another card I made with the Waffle Flower Postage Collection Dies and Stamps, but this time I used their Postal Collage Wildflower stencils to create the floral images on the panels.
Then I stamped the postmarks etc, before I cut each of the images from the original die cut... creating individual stamps. I splattered them with gold watercolour paint, then adhered them with foam pads to a kraft cardstock diecut rectangle.
I added a diecut 'hello' using mirri card, then finally added some gold circle confetti pieces.

Hi Lovelies...
Today I'm sharing a CAS card - white on white with a splash of gold and colour, that evolved while I made it.
Firstly I die cut the butterfly from a Distress Oxide blended piece of card, which I'd splattered with gold watercolour paint. Then I created an embossed panel, with a smallish pattern. I diecut the gold circles for the centre cutting two in white also to give depth. I adhered them together, then adhered these to the embossing. Then I decided to use one of the white offcuts for the centre and adhered that.
I added a tiny sentiment wh ..read more

Hi Lovelies...
Today I'm sharing a couple of cards that I made this week, using the Waffle Flower Postage Die and Stencil Sets which I absolutely love!
For the first, I diecut the postage stamp shape, then used one of the Postage Collage Colouring Stencils, blending through with some Distress Oxides in pastel colours. Then I used the new Wildflowers Silhouettes stamp set, stamping in Versamark then heat embossing with white embossing powder. Over that, I used some of the tiny stamps from the Postage collage collection stamped in black, then added the Get Well using the new word ..read more

Hi Lovelies...
Today for my card... I've done a little smooshing in the background.. which I've then stamped over and heat embossed in white.
I die cut and coloured a butterfly from my older stash, then diecut the heart vine in gold mirri card. I added a tiny sentiment which I'd stamped on black and heat embossed in gold... adding a border of gold mirri too. Finally I added some tiny gold mirri card dots.

Hi Lovelies...
Today I'm back with my card using lots and lots of butterflies... I decided to do a 'flight' a they all took off to fly to their next flowers!
Firstly, I did some rainbow ink blending using Distress Oxides onto white card, then I die cut the butterflies using a new die to me - it's by Hero Arts and is called Butterfly Confetti. I had seen a card recently which I loved, using tiny butterflies, so had found this cover plate die online.
Then after they were cut, it was about placing them! Obviously they had to be in rainbow order - and I decided to keep the l ..read more

Hi Lovelies...
Hope you all had a lovely Easter!
Today I'm sharing a card using an LOTV clear stamp set called Magical Florals which I bought at a craft show last year.
I coloured the image, then stamped a further image just for the flower heads. I colour those, then fussy cut the upper petals - which I attached with 3D foam pads, to give a 3D effect.
I matted and layered the circle and added a few gems, and it was done.

Hi Lovelies...
Here's another bunny for Spring - this is also from the Sweet Some Bunny set - an older set from MFT Stamps. Isn't she cute with her shopping bags? Of course, I thought she needed some pink.. so I gave her a pink dress - then I stencilled a background with Distress Oxides - splattering with gold and deep pink watercolours. I added one of the sentiments that comes with the set.

Hi Lovelies..
I'm still on my mission to use my older stash... so my card today features an older set from MFT - Sweet Some Bunny. I've got to say, it does me lots of good to feel I'm using something older, with a new twist.
I was inspired by a card by Joy Taylor (thank you Joy) - I think from 2018 - but I used it in my own style - CASing the use of the diecut circle words. I ink blended the cloud background, and added an ink blended strip along the side, before adhering the circle and the bunny in her little car, which I'd coloured and fussy cut.

Hi Lovelies...
I've been taking a look through all the digi images on my PC - believe me, there are lots! Then this one caught my eye - it was from the Digi Stamp Boutique - which I think is no longer in business - such a shame!
Anyways... I coloured it then matted and layered it. I added some tiny butterflies which I managed to find last week, after seeing NB Cards use butterfly confetti in one of her fab videos. Unfortunately, the photo taken from the front doesn't show the gold mirri to it's best - but you can see it in the one I took from the side.
