Birds and Branches Bundle

Birds & Branches Bundle

Having shielded up until 30 June, I am looking forward to being able to explore further afield! Open fields, hearing bird song and communing with nature beckons and I can’t wait! The thought of “freedom” inspired this card. The stamps are photo- polymer. They are clear so you can see exactly where you’re stamping. To […]

Teeny One Sheet Wonder – Flowers for Every Season

I did it !!! Four unique cards made from one sheet of 6 x 6 DSP ! Yesterday I published a cutting guide on a one sheet wonder over on my Facebook page. It was certainly a challenge because I didn’t like the reverse side of the paper! I solved the problem by introducing mat […]

Centre step card Stampin Up Outdoor Barbecue

Outdoor Barbecue – Centre Step Fold card

With the warmer weather approaching, our thoughts turn to barbecues! The supermarkets are filled with marinaded barbecue meat and fresh salads and it means I get a day off from cooking! I don’t know if it’s true of your household, but it seems to be a “man” thing to get the barbecue going so I […]

Clean and Simple Card Stampin Up Witty-cisms by Elaine Harding

Jumping Jack boxes in a Matchbox!

Remember the rage with loom rubber bands? You could make all kinds of bracelets with them and my grandsons went through a phase when they were really expert at making them. They’ve grown out of it now but I’ve still got a box leftover full of these loom bands and I’ve found an alternative use […]

Happy Mother’s Day in the UK

Happy Mothering Sunday! I nearly missed today and had to do a quick re-shuffle of all my scheduled posts.  How did that happen?   Note to self – I’ll need to consult the calendar more often!  With an empty nest, I’ve completely lost  track of high days and holidays (read school vacations) let alone the days […]
