New Arrivals

Spring is definitely in the air!

The Derby peregrines have laid three beautiful red eggs on top of the cathedral and it has put me in the mood for all the other new arrivals that will be blessing us in the future.

I have made these cards using beautiful cardio stamps. These are fast becoming my go to collection. coupled with a set of memento inks I really can create anything.

Imagine being able to buy a card for someone who is having their 1st, 2nd or 3rd child. This can be reflected with the number of socks in colours to match each childs personality.

I have placed these cards in my Etsy shop HERE

A pencil and a dream can take you anywhere

This weekend has given me the opportunity to create a few more pencil cases.

I wish I could decide which is my favourite.

 

 

Its quite amazing how different the same printed cotton material looks when teamed up with an alternative colour tweed.

These are all available in the Etsy shop which can be found HERE

The thing I love most about making cards with ink is the endless possibilities with colour!

Woodland Creatures

Today I have made a beautiful pencil case using Harris Tweed and a lovely printed cotton I bought whilst visiting Hereford.

I tend to collect pencils so I made this case nice and deep. It even has room for a little note book!

I cant wait to make more.

You can find this lovely pencil case in my Etsy shop HERE

Harris Tweed Dog Treat Pouches

A few days ago I made a pouch. Not really knowing what I might use it for.

Once it was made it dawned on me that these would be great for keeping doggy treats in.

They can be fastened to either the lead or a belt using the pretty ribbon.

 

 

I have popped the in my Etsy shop which you can visit my either clicking the big Etsy banner at the top of my blog or, by clicking HERE

Pretty card request

Today I have been busy in the craft room completing an order for a valued customer.

The instructions given to me were.... my sister is 70 next week.

Its great when I can play with my own imagination for a card.

This is what I created.

 

 

 

I decided against adding a 70.... not everyone is keen to advertise their age!

 

I also made another card using a different colour, just to see what it would look like.

The difference is very subtle and great if the recipient has a favourite colour.

The purple card has made it into the Etsy shop be sure to take a look HERE
