Uniko Studio Challenge #7

I was really pleased to see the theme for this uniko challenge – Distressed or Vintage.  I love the distress look and this used to be my go-to style.  When it came to it though I really struggled and was unable to come up with anything I was happy with.  I was determined to come up… Read More Uniko Studio Challenge #7

The Card Concept Challenge #3

Hi there! So another challenge for the Card Concept…  This time the theme is monochromatic pink.  If I am honest I really struggled with this to start out with and I have several efforts that have all finished up in the bin.

Hi there! There hasn’t been much action on my blog for the past two weeks as I have been on holiday – my husband and I have just returned from visiting family in Hong Kong.  Typically, I managed to find some craft shops over there and have treated myself to some new goodies which I… Read More Uniko Studio Challenge

Gorgeous Gerberas

I have been thoroughly inspired by the gorgeous Uniko stamp sets I was given for Christmas.  I have combined two stamp sets to create the following cards; Pure florals – Gerbera and Background Builders – Round in Circles. I love teaming these two stamp sets to create these graphic style cards and have tried several different colour … Read More Gorgeous Gerberas

Less is more challenge

A different card from me today. I wanted to take part in the Less Is More challenge this week – to create a one layer card with the theme of Love. Here is my effort: I used Kaisercraft’s English Rose Collection for the background stamping with Memento inks in Rich Cocoa and Lady Bug. The… Read More Less is more challenge

I was very excited to stumble across a new challenge blog, The Card Concept and was determined to give it a try.  This week’s challenge was based on using the below colours: I decided to make a clean and (possibly too) simple card and came up with this… The image is from the Artemio Feathers stamp… Read More The Card Concept Challenge #1

Time to say thank you

The Christmas rush is over and I have a new excuse to head up to my craft room – “thank you” cards! I will be entering the below card into the Keep It Simple challenge.

Christmas Paper

Every so often I stray away from stamping and try something different. I have stacks of patterned paper that I don’t use enough, but the Back to Basics Christmas papers from Dovecraft really caught my eye. I love how simple this is.  I just cut strips of patterned paper and adhered them to a piece… Read More Christmas Paper

Mistletoe… and wine

  The challenge on Avery Elle this month is to design any card you like – easier said than done!  I have been suffering from a lack of inspiration recently – long hours at work and not enough down time have not helped. I did manage to have a play today though and came up with… Read More Mistletoe… and wine
