Hero Arts Flower

I have had this flower stamp for years now and I often go back to using it. I prefer the 'less is more' approach to card making and this stamp is perfect in my eyes. The gems are by the Do Crafts brand Papermania.

January Tag

I take part in a Month of the Year tag swap through a craft group on line. This is my interpretation of January!

My Published ATCs

These ATCs are 2 of the 4 I had published in a recent edition of Do Crafts Scrapbooking Magazine. The bottom one was shown in its entirety except Do Crafts changed its layout to make it portrait!

I am involved in ATC swaps through Do Crafts and I was asked to submit some for a magazine feature. I thought I wouldn't hear any more and then in November the mag dropped through my door with my ATCs in!

The others featured can be found here.

Alcohol Inks

This card is made with Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks on acetate. I am really pleased with the effect. I used the 3 colours from the Cottage Path collection.

Snowy Family

The background of this card is made using See D's stamps. The snow family is a stamp I borrowed from my mum! I shouldn't really say it, but I like this card.

Reindeers

The reindeer names stamp is a Hero Arts stamp I bought this year. Of all the Christmas cards I have made so far, this is my hubby's favourite.

Christmas Village

This card is made using 2 stamps I had forgotten I had!

Pink Christmas

Christmas

Not my normal Christmas colours, but I think the Black and White is quite effective.

Black & White Christmas

It's been half term this week and I have struggled to come up with ideas for Christmas cards that I so desperately need to get making! This is the first I made that I am quite pleased with.

My Favourite ATC

I made this ATC during a Make and Take weekend at Topaz Crafts with Leonie Pujol.

A Hearty ATC

Bingo!

A colleague was 60 recently and as she's a huge Bingo fan this card fitted the bill!

October/November/December ATCs

ATCs I have made for a seasonal swap I am involved with.

Autumnal Cards

Two cards I made recently for an Autumnal swap I am taking part in during October.

Girls Only

This is a card I made recently for my 19 year old niece. She secretly entered it into a competition and it won 3rd prize!! Visit here for more cards.

Glue Stick Embossing

My new favourite technique - embossing with a glue stick. Instead of using an ink pad to emboss on - use a glue stick. It gives a great textured effect.

ATCs

My first update for quite a while!

I have recently discovered ATCs (Artist Trading Cards). ATCs are small cards (2.5" x 3.5") that are traded between crafters. I am part of ATC swaps on Shopping Telly and Do Crafts at the moment. If you would like to swap with me my contact details can be found over on the right hand side or in my store here by clicking on 'My Complete Profile' on the right.

Acetate Cards

 

These cards are made using acetate and peel-offs from the Dawn Bibby range.
