A Pot of Poinsettias

Hello! The November A Perfect Time To Craft Challenge has begun and my inspiration uses the Red Christmas Poinsettia Pack from sponsor, Fred She Said.

Asian Beauty

Hello! Today sees another Creative Fingers Challenge getting underway with the awesome Conie Fong joining us as our sponsor. I chose Kimono Kayuki to make a sweet oriental themed, shaped card.

Jingle Elf

Hello! Another Creative Fingers Challenge has just started with Tindaloo as our sponsor. I've created a cute slimline card, using the cheeky Jingle Elf image. I started by downloading a free Christmas tree image I found online and overlaid the Jingle Elf image. I then printed the compilation onto X-Press It blending card. I also …

It’s Beginning To Look Like Christmas!

Hello! It's the start of another Creative Fingers Challenge and I'm back as sponsor. Woo hoo! For my inspiration. I've used my It's Christmas Topper sheet (cup1167808_100289) and rather than just trimming around the Rectangle edge of the original base layer, I've cut it using the Phil Martin Charmed Ovals Die Set. I also cut …

Mixed Media Fun

Hello! Today sees the start of the month long Creative Fingers Challenge. This month, there's a set of five stencils up for grabs! Accordingly, my inspiration is the end result of me brushing up on my mixed media skills. Unusually for me, I started by making some background papers. I just had the urge to …

Not Exactly Love Birds!

Hello! I'm sponsoring the latest Creative Fingers Challenge and three of my kits are up for grabs, and you can see my entire range here. Some of you may wonder why I chose the title of this post. If any of you actually own one of these birds, you'll know they're a stunning bird to …

Butterflies And Bugs

Hello! It's the start of the July A Perfect Time To Craft Challenge and, this month, we're joined by Ching-Chou Kuik! For my inspiration, I've teamed two pre-coloured Ching-Chou Kuik images to create a tri-window slimline card. I thought the Two Lady Bugs and the Monarch Butterflies would work perfectly together. Unusually for me, I …

Memories Of Porcelain

Hello! I'm sponsoring over on the Creative Fingers Challenge again! This time, my inspiration features the two single sheet, card topper pages available over on CraftsÜprint, part of my Blue Flowers Collection range. My first card uses the Blue Flowers topper page #1 (cup1152827_100289) as intended. I cut the base and several flower layers from …

Charming Dahlias

Hello! Today sees the start of the May A Perfect Time To Craft Challenge and, this month, I've created a relatively quick digital design using the Dahlia Garden digital set from sponsor, Fred She Said. I decided to create my card front on my phone, using the Adobe Express: Graphic Design free app. I just …

Big, Bold and Blue

Hello! Today, for the start of the latest Creative Fingers Challenge, I've created a masculine card using lots of die cutting. Sticking with a blue and white theme, I used an old set of Stitched Diamond Layering Cover Dies (no longer available) that I've had lying around and never got around to using. I cut …
