 Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today.

I used a Disney Winnie the Pooh decoupage pad by Avec which I bought from The Range a little while ago (probably not so little if I am honest lol!)
The cardstock is Craft Stash Euphoric pink, jewels are from stash and I used my usual 6x6 Craft UK premium card blank

Here is Kathies lovely sketch

Critter Crazy #97

 Thank you for visiting my blog

Today I am sharing my DT card for challenge #97 at Critter Crazy Challenge


I've used papers and toppers from an old Craftwork Cards kit Savannah.
Base card is a brown linen 6x6 card and I've used a pearl copper card for layering.
The little dots are Julie Hickey Designs Glossies


Do-All Kreatives #100

 Hello and thank you for visiting, I am here with my DT card for Do-Al(l) Kreatives where the theme this month is to make a birthday card with a spring theme. As it is the 100th challenge we are also having a blog hop so if you are taking part in the blog hop you will have come to me from 

Alex  at Alex' Creative Side

and after you have visited me you should go and see

Billie at Ink on my Fingers

Hopefully my links will work well and you will find them both easily.

As we are having a blog hop I will also be doing a draw for anyone that leaves a comment to win a prize.

So after all that here is my card.


To make it I followed a Mixed Up Craft tutorial for a Floating Hexagonal Pop up Box Card.
To decorate it I used some new stamps from Julie Hickey Designs, these are from the Cherry Blossom set which I coloured with my copics and then had lots of fussy cutting to do.
The papers are Basic Grey Lily Kate which I loved when they came out all those years ago and still do.
The sparkle gems came from my stash.

I'll be entering my card at Allsorts Challenge blog #820 where the theme is Spring Flowers and Cherry Blossoms always say spring to me

Critter Crazy DT Card #96

 Hello and thank you for visiting

I am here with my second DT card today this is for Challenge #96 at Critter Crazy Challenge


I made this card for my niece to give to her mum for Mothering Sunday which will be on the 30th of March here in the UK
I've used some decoupage and papers from a Me To You Bears papercrafting kit which I bought from The Range, it's not the best image,  I think it must have been a bit dull that day but hopefully we are moving towards the brighter and longer days now.


Do-Al(l) Kreatives DT Card

 Hello and thank you for visiting

I was recently invited to join the team at Do-Al(l) Kreatives and this is my first DT card for them.

This months challenge is to make a Waterfall Card I had been thinking about making one of these for a while and it did help to kickstart my mojo which had been a little stagnant since Christmas.



To make my card I used some green Crelando cardstock from Lidl and pink card from Craft Sensations.

I embossed some whire card with the Cuttlebug Happy Birthday embossing folder

The stamps are Julie Hickey Designs Floral Frames and are coloured with alcohol markers and I embellished with some glossies also from Julie 

The ribbon and brads are from my stash.
