I nearly chose the gnomes again. But, instead, March gets the Scenic Christmas stamp and stencil set from Simply Cards & Papercraft 223 and which I’ve barely used since I got it. Although it doesn’t have many sentiment stamps, so I shall allow myself to pilfer other sets for those if needed. Like with this… Continue reading Deck the Halls

‘Tis the Season
I went back to the Polkadoodles’ Christmas Gnomes set from Creative Stamping 102 this week. Partly, this is because I haven’t really tidied my craft desk – the bin was removed to another room and has yet to be replaced! – so the stamp set was still sitting where I’d left it after last week’s… Continue reading ‘Tis the Season
Dinosaur Adventures
One of my main crafting problems is that I collect supplies, if I’m lucky with at least a vague idea of what to make, and then do nothing with them. As they say: collecting craft supplies is a hobby in itself… Such happened last year when I found some Natural History Museum-inspired paper packs in… Continue reading Dinosaur Adventures
The Birthday Macaw
Tiny would cause crafting problems if I liked to make complicated cards. As it is, the only problem caused is one of timing, and being able to snatch the time to plan a card and then to create it. Hence the lack of card posts of late. Or any sort of crafting posts, really. There… Continue reading The Birthday Macaw
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Finally, I have managed to start making cards again. Which is good because the magazines have had sets recently which I like and think I could actually use for a change. A lot of last year the sets were too similar to ones I already had, especially the Christmas sets. But I liked the Magic… Continue reading The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Sleigh Bells Ring
I haven’t been much in my craft room for the last month or so. I’m not sure how often I’ll get in over the next few. Probably sporadic crafting for the foreseeable. However, with the arrival of a baby-sling (the Koala Cuddle Band; takes babies from 2-9kg/4lb7oz to 19lb13oz) which is suitable for my lighter-than-average… Continue reading Sleigh Bells Ring
A Musical Birthday
I know: Fridays are for festive cards, not birthday cards. However, in my defence, the musical note die came with (not as part of, admittedly) the musical stamp and embossing folder from Simply Cards and Papercraft 236. So sort of festive. The paper was discovered in a pack from a previous magazine, though I've no… Continue reading A Musical Birthday
The Gold Stag
As with last week’s card, I started this one with the background paper. Partly this is because I’m a bit tired of staring at stamp sets which don’t change (though I have a new festive set arriving shortly which may help with the general disinclination malaise). In the end, though, I didn’t do any stamping… Continue reading The Gold Stag
Ring-a-Ding Ding!
Last week, with the bauble die, I had thought to layer it on a background with more Christmas boughs and decorations. Largely because I have collected lots of paper-packs over the years and don’t often use them. So now I try to take every opportunity to try. I cut a piece of paper to size… Continue reading Ring-a-Ding Ding!
Green Hexagons
Not being the sort of person who sends cards for Hallowe’en (nor understands why you would), I’m ignoring it. Nor do I normally decorate with spiders’ webs – I spend the rest of the year taking a duster to them as it is! Instead, I’m continuing with building up the ordinary, every-day card stash. This… Continue reading Green Hexagons
