Home Sweet Home ...

A clean and simple shaker card today, rather effective I think.

So Kraft base card blank, cream, navy, acetate, cream matting & layering.

Cut on my Silhouette and filled with gorgeous red hearts from Nuvo Confetti.

I hope you have been enjoying my card a day during December creations, just a few more days left.  Wishing my fellow creators a very Happy Christmas 2023.

Happy New Year ....

Happy New Year fellow crafters, for the month of January I am a guest designer over at

The challenge is super easy  'Anything Goes' So I have had a little play with unused until now stamp; Spread your wings Tilda and made a flip calendar.

A motivational quote on the blank tile, I think this was from a Club box; Breathe in INSPIRATION and TRUST yourself the answer is YES YOU CAN

So Kraft card for the construction, papers, Gesso, Distress ink, various Doohickey Club dies, coloured with Promarkers & Prisma pencils and some gems to finish.

She is a cutie, I know I say that every time I play with Tilda but you understand I am sure.   Do come & play along HERE

Cheers to a great 2022

so we want to see your creations with Kraft card.  I was given the Sarah Hurely

'Curio' digi kit for this one and have created something a little bit different to my usual style.

I have used Kraft card for my base, hand stitched and then my lovely 'Frantage' enamels (loving this 

product) and the butterflies and sentiment are from the kit.

I have printed the butterflies onto white pearl card stock and stuck back to back

so you don't see the white card and then just shaped so they jump out at you.
