All stitched up!


Happy Monday!
My card today has an autumnal feel but also maybe end of summer 😎

I have gone with a black base then inked up my mat
using poppy parade, then pumpkin pie, and finishing with bumblebee inks.
Then using the Stitchery Stamp Set,
I choose a few different stitches, spaced them out and
then stamped them down the card using black ink.

The sentiment came from a set called Lovely You and it has a
matching punch called Lovely Labels.
So I punched some black and smaller piece of white at one end
so I could layer up my sentiment.
The sentiment just about fits (bad stamping lol),
and I added a wee flower and gem to pop on the end.

I then thought the top was a bit bare sooooo,
using dragonfly garden stamp and punch set I made a matching
dragonfly.

We had the heaviest rain ever I have experienced last night.
It sounded thunderous!! Yet this morning the paths were dry!
Spooky or what!
Have a great week and thanks so much to those who have
recently placed an order with me.
It has got me off to a very good start!!

Oh Christmas Tree!


I made this card following a sketch from
Cardmaking & Papercraft Ireland (FB).


Nice bright colours this time round using a new stamp set
and new papers and card and ink!!
All matching of course lol.

The background of the sweet sorbet card has been stamped
in the matching ink and I added some chalk pen dots.
The tree has been double stamped and I added some glossy dots.

Spent the morning assembling our new kitchen table.
Thankfully the chairs came ready built!
It looks much bigger that our very old one but lots of room
to seat the family round it when they call!
#exhausted 😂
Have a lovely weekend.

Diamond Easel Fold




I had a card to make for my Mother-in-law's birthday
this week and as one of her presents is a fox ornament for the garden,
I thought I would tie the card in with it.

I always like to make a special shaped card for her so
went with the diamond fold easel card.
I did make her one of these before for Christmas so hope
she doesn't remember 😍
The papers are plaid tidings, sadly retired along with a
stamp set from Sale-a-bration.
The fox has been coloured using my water colour pencils
and blender pen.

Had a day off yesterday as my IBS raised it's ugly head.
Still struggling with that sicky feeling but hopefully it will
clear away today!
Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by.

Trick or treaters?


It's the second week of Michele's theme
something spooky over at

I pulled out another die set from Tutti Designs called
Trick or Treaters. I went horizontal this time to fit all the little
monsters in.
For the background I have used rich razzleberry ink,
marking where I needed to add colour for the stars and pumpkins.
I attempted to splatter some gesso but it wasn't playing ball lol.
The sentiment and webs were stamped using Banner Year stamp set,
then I added the die cut raised on some dimensionals.
I finished by added some eyes
and then mounting onto black card.

I hope you get time to join us.

It's getting really nippy and the layers of clothing are mounting lol.
Have put the heating on when a little but have
been lighting the log burner a lot!!
Hope it's warmer where you are!!

Silent night.....


Happy Monday!

Today I had a play with the stamp set
Peace to You.
I used the church scene last week and this is the other larger
stamp you get with the set.

I used my layering rectangles for the layers,
then stamped the image and added some colouring using my blends.
Of course it would look just as nice left white.
There was just the right amount of space at the bottom
to add my sentiment.

What a miserable day we had yesterday.
It rained all day long, house was in darkness and so was my mood!
Thankfully today is brighter and I've got a bit of
get up and go!
Hope you have too. Have a great week!

Peace to you



I made a few CAS cards for Christmas
Thankfully these were quick and easy!!


I even took time to do the insides, so they are ready to
address and post and super flat to keep costs down.

For these cards I have used the little notecards and envelopes.
The stamp comes from a beautiful set called
Peace to You
and I have gone with night of navy ink and card with a little bit
of bumblebee ink for the cross inside.

I also added a little line of glamour dust along the edge of the image,
but hard to see in my photo.

Video tutorial available for my VIP Customers.

My day has been busy already. Two new shelves put up
in my craft room by Hubby and his assistant (me).
He will be busy bringing his Mum to hairdresser/shops
so I will get stuck in to a bit of re-organising my craft room
Wish me luck!
