New home card

You probably didn't know, but I;m a conveyancing lawyer and every time I act for someone who moves into a new home, I send them a "Welcome to your new home" card.  I send so many (about 25 a month) that although I like to make them, it can be very time consuming.

This new Tonic die was the answer to my prayers.  I can make 3 of these in an hour!


Till next time

Two more cards made

Two more cards today, I don't know why it takes me so long just to make one card.







This card was made using the Lacy Butterfly die from the Crafters Companion Die'sire collection.  I just loved this butterfly when I saw the die and it makes quite a large sized card.  I intend to make this again using different colours and maybe I'll glitter the white card.

This second card was made using a Wee Stamps image.  You can find this at Whimsy Stamps. I love the soft colours of the image, which I coloured in Spectrum Noir markers.  The cardstock is Strawberry Slush and Blushing Bride, both from Stampin' Up.

Thanks for reading!

Easter baskets

I made this Easter basket and thought it was so versatile, I've made 5 more.  I love boxes and bags and prefer making them to making cards.  I downloaded the free cutting file from here.


This is called the berry basket. Ashley is so generous to share her files for free.  Anyway, here it is





I bought some mini eggs and here is the basket filled.


The other five which I have made are predominantly pink.  It's a bit early for Easter baskets, I hope I don't break into the filled bag full of mini eggs ;)

My very first tag!

I've never made a tag before but a friend's husband offered to cut me some wooden tags so I had a go this afternoon.





I used Arianna Blooms die from Heartfelt Creations, with Arianna Lace being placed under the flower.  The sentiment is a Stampin Up one.  Quite simple really, I thought I'd start with something not too difficult.

Thank you for reading.
