The Crafter’s Companion stamp set from Creative Stamping 100 really did make it easy for this year’s Christmas cards. And, with talk of a 67% chance of a white Christmas (I think that’s what I read somewhere), I thought I’d share a snowy sort of card. The snowflake stamps came from the sensibly-named Glittering Snowflakes… Continue reading Card of the Week: Let It Snow

Card of the Week: Sparkle All the Way
Following from last week’s Peace on Earth card, using the Crafter’s Companion Nature’s Garden Nativity stamp set, this week’s card uses stamps from the Crafter’s Companion Enchanted Christmas stamp set. Like I said last time: a good stamp set. It covers all bases, from religious to cute (there’s a quarter with snowmen and penguins, which… Continue reading Card of the Week: Sparkle All the Way
Card of the Week: Peace on Earth
So far this year, I’ve only bolstered my festive stamps by a couple of kits. Partly because I still love the ones I collected last year, and partly because of the variety provided by the Crafter’s Companion double set which came with Creative Stamping 100. I was particularly pleased for the religious-themed quarter of stamps,… Continue reading Card of the Week: Peace on Earth
Card of the Week: Mice Making Popcorn
Most of my card-making at the moment is for Christmas cards, but there has been the odd birthday card too. Including this one, made using a House Mouse stamp from Stampendous, and coloured with pencils. A very simple sort of card: just stamp and stick. And colour. House Mouse stamps are very good for cute,… Continue reading Card of the Week: Mice Making Popcorn
Card of the Week: The Candle in the Window
This is the time of year when I like lighting candles. I light them all year round, usually because they give the room a nice scent, but as the nights start drawing in, and it’s cold and dark and a bit yucky outside, they also give the room a warm and friendly sort of feel.… Continue reading Card of the Week: The Candle in the Window
Card of the Week: The Autumn Squirrel
Now we’re in October, we’re definitely in Autumn. The leaves aren’t very golden at the moment, though, which is a bit of a shame. We have, though, had squirrels preparing for a winter sleep by fattening themselves on the suet bird-feeder we put out. It took the squirrels all of about two days to empty… Continue reading Card of the Week: The Autumn Squirrel
Card of the Week: Jellyfish
When I get a new crafting magazine, one of the first things I do is flick to the back to check out what’ll be in the next month’s edition. Mostly to see what the next free gift will be and whether I’m interested enough to make a note of the publication date. Sometimes I’m interested… Continue reading Card of the Week: Jellyfish
Card of the Week: A Hare-Raising Day
Despite the last-minute attempt by the weather to make us believe it’s still summer, temperatures are beginning to drop, mini-heatwaves notwithstanding. It’s beginning to become autumnal. The cherry tree is turning all sorts of shades of orange and red. And the hares, when they can be seen, are in the fields. Probably. Actually, I think… Continue reading Card of the Week: A Hare-Raising Day
Card of the Week: Time for Tea
Sometimes, the best thing to do is to have a tea-break. To sit down with a good cuppa, maybe a biscuit, and have a little break. The last month or so feels like it’s been a bit of a tea-break for Life Ever Crafting. It’ll continue through September, though I am hoping to get back… Continue reading Card of the Week: Time for Tea
Card of the Week: Swan Wedding
Summer is the time for weddings. The good weather – supposedly. The warmth. The long days for dancing into the night. Certainly, if the location is a cold stone church, better to be a summer than a winter wedding. Of course, the last year or so has been a difficult one for the wedding-industry, if… Continue reading Card of the Week: Swan Wedding
