Can I quote you??


Our new challenge theme at
has been chosen by Wendy and she wants to see us use
quotes/sayings.

I have gone with two inspirational quotes/sayings.
I stamped everything, coloured it up and added
some pool party colour to the background.
The first saying was stamped directly onto the tag,
while the second was stamped and cut and 3d over flowers.
I backed it onto some calypso coral card and finished
with a stapled ribbon.

Seasonal blues


I found a jar of paste in my go to drawer when looking for something else
so decided to have a play with it instead.

I used a snowflake stencil and the paste for my background
card and just love the texture it gives.
I stamped the lovely church scene and cut to fit in my oval
and added a sentiment and a little silver bakers twine
to finish.

(used embossing paste technique)


Wild and windy here today so a bit of housework
and some crafting so I can catch up!!
Enjoy your weekend.

Irish Thanksgiving





I was asked by a customer to make 20 of my coin boxes
for Thanksgiving with an Irish theme.
They will be on the Thanksgiving table as favours and the families
descendants are originally from Ireland.

So I stamped some shamrocks on the boxes along with
Happy Thanks giving and put a wee banner across the top
with Happy Thanksgiving and a little pilgrim turkey image.

Took me most of the weekend but I had to get them
done for her to post to America on the Monday!

I followed my own tutorial for the boxes here

The shamrocks are a little heart, stamped three times
and I used the letter 1 for the stalk.

Half Crackers!


My video tutorial shows how to make these
half cracker type gift boxes.
I have done a tutorial on these before but for a much
smaller size that will hold one FF sweet.

I have stamped the penguin on each white piece.


But this time I needed them to hold these little jars of cream.
These will be another gift for the Christmas celebrations I am attending.
I did one box with a belly band and then decided I didn't like it
so the instructions show how to make the individual rectangles to decorate
your box. These cute penguins are hard to resist!!

You can watch my video here

Paper - 7 1/2" x 6"
Score short side - 1 3/4", 3 3/4", 4 1/2", 5 1/4"

Peace to you


It's the second week of our 'anything goes' challenge over at
So I decided to get another quick and easy Christmas tag made.

This one was simply stamped onto white card and
cut to follow the shape of the stamp.
Matted onto a piece of white card and cut to the shape.
I finished it with some sparkle twine.
I did stamp a sentiment on the back and a punched out star
but totally forgot to photograph it 🙈

We both miss her from she got her own house in April

we still don't see enough of her!!
Thanks for stopping by and making my day!
