Hello, Heffy Crafters! The season is upon us and I’m sharing my favourite card from this season over on the Heffy Doodle blog today. I went with a classic, rustic kraft base for all my cards this year, choosing the natural pencil blend over my normal markers. It’s a fantastic effect, though perhaps not as quick as markers! My krafty…
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…
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…
Not many sleeps ’til Santa now! I have another festive card for you today and the last in my Scene Colouring series on the Heffy Doodle blog. This time, I coloured up some playful penguins in a snowy scene. One was halfway through building a snowman until he saw a friend who couldn’t reach the post box. What could he…
I’m back with the next card in my Scene Colouring series. I’m definitely in the Christmas mood and this card is inspired by one of the all-time great Christmas songs: When Santa Got Stuck Up the Chimney! Plus, it uses a non-Christmas stamp set – Teacher’s Pet – to get the most out of your stash! This one needed a…
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 started out by stamping the Santa holding his sack of goodies onto some blending cardstock using some Lawn Fawn Jellyfish ink. This combo is perfect for no-line alcohol…
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…
I’m joining in the blog hop day with the rest of the Heffy Doodle team! Come and hop along for some inspiration and prizes! Start over at the 25 Days of Christmas Tags blog. I made some matching tags for my featured Christmas Cards this year using the tag from the Mini Essentials Die set along with a bunch of…
It’s rapidly approaching that time of year when I start to get a bit anxious over having enough Christmas cards to send out come December. Every year I say I will start early and make at least one a month all year round, but I never manage to achieve that aim! This is my fifth card of the year and…
Hello! I’m back on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with another Christmas in July card. This card features the Sugar Pea Designs Gnome for Christmas stamp set and the Mama Elephant Scene Builder stamp set. This card, along with my card from a couple of weeks ago, ensures I am getting an early start to making Christmas cards so…
Happy New Year to you all! I hope you managed to have a good break. The run up to Christmas was super busy for me and crafting had to take a little bit of a back seat for a while. I didn’t get a chance to share this non-traditional Christmas card I gave to my Postie (partly in apology for…
