Handmade cards
Hello! I’m over on the Heffy Doodle blog today, showcasing some of the new products from the latest release. I have a magical wedding card with a scene I’m sure every little girl dreams of at some point! Along with some older products, I used two of the new sets: Happily Ever Crafter and the not yet released but free…

Hello, crafters! Today I’m featuring the Mama Elephant Wild Roar stamp set over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog. You all know I love these sets for practicing my alcohol marker colouring and, whilst they make take a while to finish, you have a feature piece to put straight on the centre of a card. It’s a good way to get…
Hello and happy Monday! It’s a good start to the week because the new Heffy Doodle release is coming soon! My card today features my most favourite character from the new release – the one eyed alien from the You’re Weird set. You know the aliens in Toy Story? This card was definitely inspired by them! I started out by…
I had three requirements for today’s card on the SHC Blog: 1) bright colours, 2) can be sent to a boy or a girl, and 3) it had to use the Concord & 9th Monster Love set. This one’s been sitting in my stash for a little while and it’s too cute to stay there! I started out by stamping…
Today on the SHC blog I have a project that extends the use of your stamps. The Avery Elle Love Is In the Air stamp set is very love/Valentines themed, so I challenged myself to make a birthday card. Paired with the Concord & 9th Simple Serif Alphabet Dies, I think I achieved a card that could even be masculine! I started…
I have a striking birthday card today on the SHC blog featuring some homemade background paper and the MFT Birthday Chicks stamp set. There are several products I use to create striped backgrounds like this one – the Altenew Classy Stripes stencil, the Concord & 9th Stripes and Sayings stamp or MFT Black and White Stripes Paper are just a couple of them. Six months…
Today’s card is for a friend that just moved into a new home. The Lawn Fawn Toadally Awesome set is perfect for saying congrats! I started out by creating a circular mask from some acetate and a Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle die so I could use a stencil. I used some Broken China and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink to blend on a gradient within the circle….
I’ve been playing with one of the newest additions to the the Avery Elle Peek-a-boo sets – Summer Pals. These two little sharks (ignoring that one might just be a dolphin…) are eyeing each other up across the ocean! I started out by ink blending on some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink onto some white card panels. I splattered these with water and…
I was given the challenge to create some new baby cards this week by a family member, so I made two mini scene cards based around the Lawn Fawn Plus One stamp set. I started out with two A6 panels of Lawn Fawn Sticky Note cardstock. For some background detail, I stamped one with a small star from the Plus One stamp set and…
I’m back today with a fun underwater scene card combining two Lawn Fawn stamp sets: Duh Nuh and You Are Sublime. An extra layer of acetate makes it more tank-like! I started out by stamping the characters from both sets in some MFT Extreme Black ink onto some blending cardstock. I then coloured them in with my alcohol markers, keeping to bright greens, oranges and…
I have a series of cards today that were prompted by my ever-growing patterned paper stash. Making multiple variations of a simple design like this one can definitely help reduce the stash and gain you a stash of thank you cards. The Concord & 9th Big Thanks die is a perfect centre piece. I chose one of the gorgeous papers from the Simple…
I’m back for part two of my Colorado Craft Company celebration! This is the second post featuring the Lovely Legs Get Well Soon stamp set. Last week I used watercolours and this week I’ll be using my alcohol markers. These lovely legs stamps are perfect for practicing your colouring in any medium and create some simple but gorgeous cards! Alcohol markers…
I’m celebrating the new to SHC brand, Colorado Craft Company, with a two-part post featuring the Lovely Legs Get Well Soon stamp set. This week I’m using watercolours and next week I’ll be using my alcohol markers. These lovely legs stamps are perfect for practicing your colouring in any medium and create some simple but gorgeous cards! I have two different cards…
One of the bonuses of having a sort out of your stamps is that you find some older sets that perhaps you didn’t get quite as much use out of them that you should. My friend Lesley Oman (owner of Heffy Doodle and HungryHeffy) often plays Stamp Roulette to give the muse a few prompts with some unusual combinations. Now…
