Welcome

There is currently a problem that I’m working on which means that clicking on new photographs that have been added to the galleries does not lead to the full size picture or give details of the dies used. Until I can resolve this (bearing in mind I’m a bit of dinosaur when it comes to I.T.), I will be including die details with all new posts where possible and at least one full sized image. Older entries to the galleries are not affected.

PLEASE NOTE, I ONLY TAKE COMMISSIONS FROM FROM FRIENDS & FAMILY.

Hi there, welcome to my website which is my way of sharing my crafting journey with the world. I have been a creative person for virtually all of my life, and, like many, have had a go a pretty much every form of creative craft at one time or another. Nowadays I am predominantly a paper crafter making bespoke cards for friends and family and their friends. My passion is die cutting. I am lucky to have a number of different die cutting machines and thousands of dies. I also, when the mood takes me, like to write the odd verse or two. I also share pictures of my makes on Pinterest and on my Facebook page, both of which you will find by clicking on the links.

N.B. If you’ve signed up for the newsletter, you’ll need to add me to your accepted/address list as some people are finding them going into their Spam/Trash Folders

If you want details of the dies, materials etc used to make the various cards then click on the thumbnail pictures in the galleries and you should get a full size picture with all the details below.

Zip Lining In To Wish A Very Special Grandson A Happy 3rd Birthday

I always strive to make something extra special for my Grandson’s birthday. ( Children’s Extra Special )This time I tried to recreate his favourite things to do in the park. I decided to do an A4 sized Block easel card (one of my favourite styles of card these days), I had to do a lot of head scratching to figure out how I was going to depict each thing. Then I made things more complicated by making the elements kinetic. I was really pleased with the outcome. The Zip line, swing, see saw and bicycle all move. My grandson Charlie was absolutely delighted. It’s difficult to remember every die I used as many were not necessarily intended to create the things I made but dies included :- ?? Globeland boy die (from family set), A Quickutz Cookie balloon die, The Paper Boutique Grandson sentiment dies, Spellbinders layered ‘Happy Birthday’ dies, Card Making Magic Number 3, and Capital letter ‘C’, Craft Buddy Nested lower case letters, Bicycle die from a magazine free gift and numerous other dies to create zip line, see saw and swing.

Look-a-like Birthday Card For A Working From Home Daughter

I just love using the Missees Dies and stamps by Studio Light. They make such fun cards that are always well received. Using embellishments that also relate to the recipient adds to the look. This is a box easel card made this one for my daughter who works from home on most days. I even replicated the velux window over her work area. I used unbranded layered alphabet dies, sentiment dies, a round cornered rectangle die was used for the laptop, embellished with the famous apple made using an apple punch and then snipped. I punched the City badge out of leaflets included with my husband’s season tickets in the past.
