WELCOME TO MY BLOG...ABOUT ME..

 Hi there and thank you for stopping by. This is my blog where I will showcase the cards, gift tags and other goodies I hand make using a vast variety of stamps, dies, papers, pens, pencils etc!

I have been crafting for more years than I care to remember...cardmaking has always been my favourite craft but I have also dabbled in dough crafts, dried flowers, stone painting and much more.

I am married to a wonderful hubby who calls my hobby 'Fairy Wings!' Between us we have 5 children; all grown up now. I run my own business for my 'day job' and have done for the last 12 years and in my spare time when I am not crafting I love gardening, cooking, travel and birdwatching......

We live in Lincolnshire now but have lived all over the UK and have also been lucky enough to live in Denmark and Sweden, which was absolutely amazing.

My favorite part of card making is obviously the giving and I love to work on cards for people I love and try to get a theme I know they love too. I mainly used crayons for colouring but sometimes use alcohol markers.

My cards and makes will be put up for sale and I welcome any questions that you may have. 

I hope you enjoy my blog and again, thanks for stopping by...have a great day and Happy Crafting..xx

  Hi everyone, hope you are all well. Thanks for stopping by to take a look at my latest make! The weather here in England seems to have finally taken a turn for the better with the sun finally make an appearance...let's hope it lasts! This card I have made for a special person and I hope you like it as much as I do...I used the Tim Holtz Crazy Dogs Stampers Anonymous stamp set which is so much fun to work with. I chose 3 of the dogs and stamped two directly onto a 6 x 6 card base after having run the bottom half through a paw print embossing folder from Darice ... I then stamped the larger doggo out onto a separate piece of kraft card and fussy cut him out.  I then used the fabulous sentiment from Heffy Doodle to hold open the easel card along with some papers from Craft Consortium.  I coloured the 3 dogs using Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils  Warm Greys VI V IV III I Cold Grey VI V III Burnt Umber Burnt Sienna Brown Ochre Dark Sepia Black White Ivory Sanguine Terracotta  Dark C

  Hi everyone. Hope you have all had a great week! I have been busy working & crafting in my spare time...and enjoying the warm weather that has finally arrived! Here is a card I made using the fabulous stamp set '1st Class Cuties' & paper pad 'Animal Magic' from Tracey Hey. I stamped the animals directly onto the paper pad, fussy cut them out and added some shading using Prismacolor pencils.  I then distressed inked a background for a 6 x 6 card using bundled sage and shabby shutters along with squeezed lemonade to give the impression of sunshine. I also stamped some leaves using Versafine Clair Sahdy Lane. I cut out some long grass using an old die from my stash and then assembled the card. I stamped and coloured the insert and envelope using same stamps, inks and pencils....and made a little gift card or money holder....

ONE SMALL DIE....THREE QUICK CARDS

Image
    Hi and welcome to my blog....here are three cards I have made just using one die! The die is from Alexandra Renke and is the Layered Butterfly 3. For each butterfly I used a variety of papers from Polkadoodles paper pads for the lower wings and then vellum papers from Chloes Creative cards, called watercolour washes for the upper wings. For the Get Well Card I used a sentiment stamp from Molly Blooms and the embossing folder is from Nellies Choice called Hearts.... For the Especially For You, again I used a stamp from Molly Blooms and the embossing folder again is Nellies Choice called Spring Flowers.... The final card is always one of the hardest to make, With Symapthy...the embossing folder is as the others and called Writing..... The card sizes are 6 x 6 and the rest of the products are from my stash. I hope you like them, thank you for stopping by and looking, please feel free to comment and ask any questions you may have. All the best...Juliex #nelliechoice #mollysblooms #polk
