Welcome Crafty Friends, I was as usually, eagerly awaiting the latest release from My favourite things this month. Hoping Birdie Brown, would have brought us a new design. I wasn't disappointed, Bring out the Sunshine is an adorable stamp set.       This Little lady reminds me of Holly Hobby back in the seventies. I loved the character as a child, and had a bag with the dolly in its pocket. I love that you can mix and match Birdies characters, to build a whole group of people. (Idea for another blog post) Today I wanted to give my...

Hello lovelies!I'm back this week with a relatively simple encouragement card using Pink Fresh Studio's "Word Series: Dream" stamp set! I've always been called a dreamer and I'm typically drawn to the night sky, particularly the moon so when I saw this set I knew I'd get a lot of use from it straight away!

You could easily just use some black card stock for the base...

Hey lovelies!I'm back after a two week break to share a card I made using Waffle Flower's "Group Hug" stamp set! The images in this stamp set are absolutely adorable, I couldn't resist that sweet giraffe! I started by using my Misti stamping platform to stamp out the large image of all the animals hugging with Gina K's Amalgam Jet Black ink. I coloured it with my alcohol markers, added details with a white gel pen and fussy cut it out. The image is pretty large so it definitely takes up the majority of your card! I cut a panel...
