Coffee & Craft

This would be my mug although I think I do more of the coffee than the craft some days!!

Love this die from Lil Inkers and the coordinating quotes and phrases to add to it, I decided to go with a sewing theme for the making part but that could easily be changed up :)


The mug is a nice size for ink blending too so I went with an ombre style in Peacock Feather Distress Oxide ink. The sewing accessories are from a Neat & Tangled set.... I just had to add thread to that bobbin and poke it through the eye of the needle :)

Monkeying Around


Let the monkey business begin.... what a fun phrase for a greetings card and I knew just the troop of monkeys that would fit the sentiment :)


These little guys are just so cute and are up to all sorts of antics, I decided to stamp them on Kraft card and colour with Polychromes and I did the same with the vine leaves from the swinging borders stamp set too. I cut the leaves out and used green hemp twine as vines to attach the leaves too..



They certainly look like they're having fun :)

Savannah Sunset

When I look at this card I want to burst into song "Can you feel the luuuurve tonight?....."
you know from The Lion King :) I can certainly feel the warmth from this card and it's glowing sunset.... oh hang on.. that might be the heatwave outside!!! 😳


Silhouette scenes are fun to make... a go-to colour palette and high contrast which just packs a punch. I decided to put Mr Rhino in the foreground on the sentiment strip so he would stand out a bit from the shadows :)

Lolly Letter Board

Seeing as we're still in the midst of a heatwave here I thought this ice lolly Letterboard would be perfect to share today 😊  The letterboard trend is in home decor at the moment so I was happy to see Sugar Pea Designs bring out a die to use for crafting projects....


The letter dies are all joined in one piece which makes life so easy to whizz them through the Big Shot several times.... I keep all the spares in a lidded container for future use. I used the Summer Scoops stamp set to make my delicious lollies and trimmed them out with scissors...


It just happens that Lawn Fawns Finley alphabet dies are a great font for the letterboard too... they are larger so give you more options for your letterboard messages 😊

Love and Hedgehugs

These hedgehogs are an older Lawn Fawn set but they're just the job for an anniversary card for my Brother and Sister-in-Law..... they seem to have a large number visit their garden which is not easy when you have a dog that views them as a play thing!!


The confetti background is subtle in a pale pink... another older set from Wplus9!!
I stamped the hedgies in shades of brown ink and used copics to colour them, I'm pleased how they turned out :)

Mammoth Wish



A spot of colouring practice led to this card, I was keeping a watch over our little dog after an operation so it was easy to stamp out images and colour wherever I needed to be :)

I do love this little cave-girl and her mode of transport!!


I was a bit stuck to know how to put them on a card front so I reached for my patterned paper scraps which I haven't done for ages!! You can still make a CAS card with patterned paper right?

I needed a boulder to place at the base of that tree so I found the top to a toadstool from MFT's You Gnome Me worked just fine :)
