Mice Chef

 I love how the little oven door opens on this stamp and die set and I had intended to make this into a little shaker but I guess my scene just sort of developed and took over before I had chance to stop myself. So my oven door does not open today.

Happy Mail

I decided I would attempt to create a scene using my cute critter stamps. I am finding it very easy now to do them for the more human type of stamps. So why not the critters?

Auto Immune Awareness Hop

I am honoured to be asked to participate in a YouTube and Instagram hop to promote Auto Immune Diseases. I do not have lived experience of this but living with no thyroid does mean that I have a little insight into chronic illness and how you just wish your body would participate as you want it too. Individuals who suffer from autoimmune diseases really are warriors 

Flying By

One of the design team for Time For Tea Designs used this cover plate with rainbow colours behind it and it looked amazing so decided to give it a go

This swing card is made using a slimline die from Time For Tea Designs. It is super easy to make and super effective

Mothers Collaboration

Troll

 We had a period where we had to watch the trolls on a near daily basis and this little creature reminds me of Princess Poppy. For those that do not have young children please do not worry you are not missing out...

Picnic bears

I do love a picnic and can not wait for this clod weather to be over so that we can go on a picnic again. It is half term here in England and we would normally be on holiday, we often go up to Scotland and last year went half the week in Edinbourgh, having picnics in the cold while seeing the sights. How I wish this was possible now. 

Congratulations

So Amy from A Crafty Purple Frog has released her own stamp range, they feature British Wildlife and are fabulous. Every time I place an order (she is my go to for the greeting farm) she places a little freebie in the envelope too, so I thought it would be nice to send her a little congratulations card

Card Making Tutorial

I begun by cutting a circle out of purple card to create my rocker card base. A piece of white card was then cut into a semi circle

Using the stencil and all the distress oxides except the seedless preserve I inked the card

The small stamps from the set where stamped with the memento dew drops

Using the circle dies I cut a piece of alcohol friendly paper and using the seedless preserve and the stencil inked the bottom

The images were stamped and coloured with alcohol markers. The sentiments were stamped onto here

This was then adhered onto a piece of blue card which had been cut into a larger circle. There were adhered together and finished with clear drops and nuvo drops.

Miss your face

So I have had this stamp set in my basket at least 3 times before I finally purchased it. I love the little painting cats and the sentiment is perfect.

I think lockdown may be starting to get to us all, my dad has had to come and help get the patio back down after they had plumbed in the garden room as it was dangerous with the dog and the kids. We did not have an option as could not afford to pay anyone. He stayed in the garden the whole time though and it was awful because by mum could not come too. If felt ridiculous the 3 of us in the garden in face masks. Even when you do see people you forget what they look like without a mask on

Lift The Flap

I can not begin to explain how excited I was when I saw that Time for Tea Designs were releasing a Slimline Lift the Flap die, I knew it would have to be in my collection ASAP. I love interactive and this is the ultimate easy interactive card

Heart new arrival

My baby days are over so I literally  can not wait to hold my Brother and Sister In Laws baby. Lockdown means we are missing out on so much. Baby snuggles are just one. He has arrived and is just gorgeous, both are well

Team Tiny Love Hop

Apologises I do not participate in a hop for ages and then bombard you with a number of them all at once. I like to keep on my toes...

This card has been created as part of the Team Tiny Love Hop on YouTube. Team Tiny is a group of like minded people on facebook who have less than 1000 subscribers and want to grow their channel. 

In the spirit of Valentine's Day the theme this month is a Love Hop. This is a hashtag driven hop so you search #teamtinylovehop on YouTube to see all participation 

Paper Hugs

I feel like spring should be starting to show her little face so thought that the autumn cover plate die could easily be turned into a spring scene in anticipation 

ED Blog Hop

So when Candice from Candoodle Creations put out an instagram story asking for people to take part in a YouTube hop for eating disorders awareness week, I jumped at the chance but said that I was not willing to share my personal experience. I guess I feel a little embarrassed by it, that secret gremlin that I battle with on a near daily basis. As time passed a tiny seed that had been planted in my head begun to grow. If I feel like this, how are people expected to find and seek help when their mind really is at breaking point?

Treat Yourself

I am loving circle shaped cards at the moment, they just add a little something and I am not even really sure what it is if I am honest. 

I think the die cut Happy Birthday is the perfect accompaniment 

Happy Mail

This stamp set from Time For Tea Designs is perfect for the current situation and has been so well thought out. I adore all the little stamps and so decided to create some designer paper using them.

It was a little time consuming but the effect is fabulous 

Yayyy

I love looking through my stash and seeing things I have forgotten. I just love this little windmill. I always wanted to live in a windmill when I grow up! Especially one on a hill, not sure why that had to be part of the dream but it was.

Team Tiny Interactive Hop

So this is my first YouTube hop as part of the Team Tiny Group on Facebook. A group for Crafty YouTubers who have less than 1000 subscribers 

Todays hop is to involve an interactive card. 

I have gone with a very simple and easy interactive card as I often fimd people feel a little intimidated my interactivr cards as they are seen as a lot of hard work.

This one certainly isnt
