Shutter card


My Mother-in-law's 86th birthday is coming up this month
and I always like to make her a funfold card.
I used a Tattered Lace die for this shutter card.
The papers are from a Basic Grey set called Sultry.
Stamp sets used
Happy Birthday to You, Alphabest, Approaching Perfection
and Painted Seasons, all SU.
I added ribbons, brads, pearls and a leaf punch.
The flowers have been double stamped and cut and layered.


This is a side view.
It does close flat and fits into a larger envelope.

Biscuit Buddies!


I had a pile of scraps left after a recent project
and it was a wet Sunday so I decided to make a little
book and fill it with ideas from my newest stamp set from
Card-io stamps called biscuit buddies.

Here are my scraps.

The book is tiny, measuring 2" x 2 1/4"
but it holds lots of ideas using the stamps
which will hopefully inspire me when I need it.
The inner pages are only printed on one side so
I joined them back to back which made the book
nice and sturdy. I then machine stitched
the pages together and covered the spine
with some washi tape.
Papers - basic grey and SU
Die - Tattered Lace
Embellishments - washi tape, ribbon, inks,
white ink, markers.

Autumn has arrived!


Our new challenge has started over at
and the optional theme is Autumn.

We have a lovely prize up for grabs so be sure and join us.
£25 gift voucher!

For my card I used some old paper from a pack I
bought in Lidl many years ago.
It is gorgeous paper. The squirrels and leaves are embossed
and glittered.
I used my plank embossing folder (SU) for a band
across the card which also had ink added.
I then stamped the leaves, corn and pumpkins using
Gather Together stamps and dies (SU).
I coloured the pumpkins and corn with markers.
I added a piece of jute along the bottom
of my border for some texture.
The sentiment was stamped on the border
then I arranged everything in place.

the trees stamped in brown and the

along the bottom.
I then stamped the sentiment in orange.
I added a bit of sparkly braid along the left of
my card then mounted it onto some orange card.

Autumn vibes



Our theme for October over at
has been chosen by Brenda and she went with
AUTUMN.

For my tag I used some orange card for my base
which I punched using my tag topper punch (SU).
I then cut a piece of yellow card which
I ran through with a floral embossing folder.
I then ran my finger over with some lustre rub-ons.
Next I stamped some leaves using
Gather Together (SU) stamp set and cut them out.
I used my markers to add green, yellow
and orange colour to them and then cut as above
to fit my tag.
I finished with a sentiment (Hunkydory)
and some wool at the top.

*******************************************


For my ATC I used the same stamp set,
Gather Together (SU).
I inked up my ATC with yellow and purple
inks then stamped the large leave
coming off the edges.
I coloured them with markers in the same
ink colours then added some gold ink to
highlight them. I stamped some grey dots
from the same set between the leaves
then flicked some gold ink over it all.
I finished with a quote from Hunkydory
and inked around the edges.

Rustle, Crunch, Repeat!


Mo's Digital Images had a sketch challenge for
this lovely Patreon freebie so I had to have a go at it.

The image is just adorable and it comes with the
gorgeous background papers.
It's called 'leaves n biscuits'.
I paired it up with a paper pack from Nitwits
called Tailwags.
I used an old leaf punch to add some leaves
and the sentiment is also free with the image
so punched it out and layered it up
with an added paw print.
Perfect little autumn buddy!
He has been coloured up with my markers.

Things with wings


I sharing another tag and ATC for our midway challenge over at
where the option theme is things with wings.

For my tag base I started by covering it
in cosmic shimmer in candy pink.
I then used a stencil and some gesso
to add texture here and there.
When it was dry I stamped some text using
a stamp set called Gorgeously Made (SU).
Then I stamped some flowers from a set
called Flourishing Phrases and cut them out.
I inked up the background in various colours
of distress ink then spritzed with water and
removed some again.
The flowers were cut to fit the tag
and some pearls added to the centres.
Next came the dragonfly which was stamped, punched,
coloured and layered up.
The set is from SU called Dragonfly Garden.
I added some sentiments from an old Hunkydory book
and some sequins here and there.
It was finished with a piece of seam binding
which I coloured to match.
I definitely embraced the journey here lol
but totally enjoyed getting messy.

I would like to enter my tag into


************************************


For my ATC I used some scrap paper cut to the size.
I stamped tree branch, leaves and music notes
directly onto my base. Then I stamped and punched
the bird, layering it up, and added to my branch.
The stamp set used is called Sweet Songbirds (SU).
The wording was cut from a free craft paper set from
years ago, which I coloured to match the bird.
I finally ran the ATC through my sewing machine
for the stitching.
