Hello, crafters! Today marks a little bit of a sad day – it’s my last regular post for Seven Hills Crafts. I’ve been on the Design Team since 2017 and it’s been a wonderful place to grow, show my creativity and explore a wide range of products from different stamping companies. Work has encroached too much into my crafting time…
I love a challenge when it comes to creating cards. This week’s challenge was to create a birthday card for a horse mad relative, which I thought would be a lot harder than it was (I had visions of modifying unicorn stamps)! The only horse stamp I had was the Lawn Fawn Hay There stamp, so I created a simple…
It’s been a while since I’ve crafted face-to-face with my niece so when we were finally allowed to meet, I gave her the choice of cards she wanted to make. She chose ‘a Christmas card for friends Down Under’ as she loved the series of gift card holders I did featuring the Lawn Fawn Woodland Critter Huggers dies and wanted…

Scene Colouring with Heffy Doodle: Just a little seaside message
Cardmaking, Colouring, General CardsI’m back with another installment of my Scene Colouring series on the Heffy Doodle blog today. I’ve been seeing lots of masked scene cards where there is a slit of background taking up a portion of the card panel and some added foreground elements. I thought I would put my personal spin on it and give it a try today!…

I’m back on the Heffy Doodle blog today continuing my theme of the last couple of cards: simple scenes. Not got time to go all out with the background? Just take a couple of elements from a set and create a simple scene, adding a central focal image popped up with foam tape for a little dimension. I’m using the…
I’m on the Seven Hills Crafts blog again today with something a little different for me. I wanted to challenge myself to create a card with no colouring – very challenging for me! I used the Concord & 9th Grateful for Everything stamp set with some coordinating Lawn Fawn inks and card stock. I started out by stamping the big flower arrangement…
I’m on the Seven Hills Crafts blog again today letting the good times roll with this coaster-themed birthday card featuring a couple of sets from Avery Elle: Peek-a-Boo Coaster, Peek-a-Boo Pals and Speech Bubbles. I started with the background, blending on some Broken China and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide inks in a gradient. Once dry, I stamped the big coaster track stamp along the bottom in…
I’m back on the Heffy Doodle blog today with another card in my Scene Colouring series. My birthday card today features the cute and punny Pasta La Vista stamp set and focuses on masking with Heffy Tape to create the scene. I started out by creating a mask so I could stamp out the pasta within the bowl. I used…
Now that Christmas is behind us, I wanted to make a start on this year’s birthday card stash. I wanted bright, colourful and full of happy animals! The person I intend to send this card to is a Jungle Book lover, so I selected some of the characters to feature in the scene. I had to get a little creative…
