So we’re now in the third month of this year and I feel it’s time to start making a dent in my required Christmas cards. I am starting out with good intentions this year and starting early! As soon as I saw the Avery Elle Santa Jaws set I knew I had to get it! I have relatives who are…
I’m back on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with an underwater scene birthday card, featuring the Avery Elle Underwater Friends, Underwater Background Builder and Everyday Circles stamp sets. As soon as I saw these stamps I knew there would be many underwater scenes on the horizon! I started out by stamping the background onto a blending cardstock panel in…
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’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.

This was a relatively quick card to create, thanks to the…
I have a festive ‘Jingle All the Way’ scene card over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today, featuring the MFT ‘Tis the Season stamp set and some no-line Copic colouring.

I’m over on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with another festive card, this time featuring the MFT Joyous Holidays and ‘Tis the Season stamp sets. When you’re looking to make many cards but still keep that quality look, the simpler the scene the better! I stamped out the Santa, tree and reindeer image using some Lawn Fawn Jellyfish ink…
Hello, I’m back today with some more inspiration for the Seven Hills Crafts Colorado Craft Company celebration week. Today I am featuring the Big and Bold Hope Sings Peacock stamp set – these stamps are so perfect for both practicing colouring and creating a card panel with just the one image. I used some inspiration pictures of real peacocks in…
I’m back on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with this fun party-themed birthday card!
