windmill card with timeless tulips

Clean & simple birthday card – Tulip Fields

Clean and simple birthday card with Tulip Fields bundle to follow on from last week’s simply stamped Windmill card. This week I’m using the larger windmill die which takes centre stage. This is part of the Flowering Fields Suite on pages 14-17 of the January-June 2022 mini. It was difficult to decide which bundle to […]

hidden magnet closure birthday card with Arctic bears

Hidden Magnetic closure card

Welcome to today’s hidden magnetic closure card. I’m continuing where I left off last Sunday. It occurred to me late in the day that I had not used the pack of papers nor the Host stamp set I had earned during Sale-a-bration and that it finishes on Thursday, 30 September! So I made a variety […]

spotlight technique with welcoming woods

Spotlight Technique with Welcoming Woods

This Sunday I’m featuring a Spotlight Technique with Welcoming Woods stamp set. Sometimes you make cards with no specific occasion or person in mind. The Welcoming Woods stamp lent itself to making this long thin card which will fit in a DL envelope. It also lent itself to practicing the hinge-stamp method on the Stamparatus. […]

birthday card for teenager with Hats Off

Birthday Card for a Teenager

When I espied the Hats Off Bundle in the new Annual Catalogue on page 47, I knew it would make the perfect birthday card for a teenager! I have real difficulty with making cards for that age bracket. May has been such a busy month for birthdays. I have been churning them out like there’s […]

Floral Birthday card with Pretty Perennials

Do you like floral cards? In today’s project I used the Pretty Perennials stamp set to make a pretty floral birthday card. This isn’t a normal card. I made one back in 2018 but can’t seem to find it anywhere on my blog, so maybe I didn’t share it. This type of card is also […]

Sale-a-bration is due to end on 28 February. It’s your last chance to take advantage of the promotion. I’ve created this Trifold Birthday card with the “Hey Birthday Chick” stamps and dies which may tempt you.

Birthday in a box

Happy Sunday! It is such a worry when one’s other half has been diagnosed with a serious illness. Worst still, if the surgery takes place on your birthday! I wanted to surprise my friend with something special to help alleviate such a traumatic day. Julie Kettlewell was a guest on the UK demonstrator FB group […]
