Next Inspiration

Went shopping in Next recently and at the till was tempted into buying some christmas wrapping products which were on offer on 3 for 2.  While standing in the queue I had the inspiration for this card and I have had a previous epiphany after receiving two next vouchers which I recycled.  See what you think.  You do not need to go to craft shops for inspiration it can be found anywhere even in the most unexpected of places!  Happy crafting and happy recycling!!

using some of my old Little Claire stamps and peel offs

Just sorting through some stamps and peel offs and produced these 2 cards with Little Claire items which are my favourite things to use, hope you like.

Hello everyone

I have made another couple of special cards for men recently which I have made with he help of some craft stash donated by my like minded friend Sandra.  Hope you like them  Anne xx

Anniversary Card for Hubby

Could not pass off an opportunity to make a card for my long suffering hubby who has to look at every card I make and make the appropriate grunts and comments required ha ha.  Tried to include some stitching and make a new pop up card which I have not made before so excuse my first attempt but I found it surprisingly easy to make.  See what you think.

A Stitch in Time

I have been very busy recently and apologise for not updating my blog so here goes - I decided to work on a theme with this batch of cards inspired by my local sewing shop which by the way sells the most wonderful selection of ribbons and buttons and much more besides - it is great these days to be able to pop into a local shop for some crafting essentials!!

Hope you like this selection of cards as much as I enjoyed making them.

Here are a couple of cards I made over the weekend while the boys were watching the footie

Made a casino royale type card for my nephew - enjoyed making this very much

Looked at the butterfly card put by Helen Nile at Little Claire and it inspired me to make these 3 cards.

They were stamped then embossed in silver and coloured with the new metallic pro markers .  I made a different card with each butterfly.  Hope you like them.

Little bit of a girly card for a friend showing the back and front of this card it is a little bit cheeky - you like?

Hi, the start of a new week.  I was asked by a friend to make a card for her husband's 75th birthday and so I made her a choice of 3 - see what you think

The third card was made using a new download from A Passion for Stamps.  I am new to downloads and really enjoyed using this and getting ideas going as to what I can add to it.  I decided that skeleton leaves would make a nice skirt and used my favourite colour - turquoise.  I made it for my son to give to a friend - hope she likes it.

This stepper card was an experiment and I liked how it turned out - see what you think

It is pouring with rain and grey outside but inside I have been making it colourful with three new cards for my gallery.  Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them xx Anne

Hi,  another week has nearly flown by.  I have been catching up on trying out my Little Claire Club stamps that have been sidelined by other projects recently.  I really enjoyed making theses two cards.

Hi, I am off craft duty at present as I have tennis elbow and have just had a cortisone injection into my elbow ouch!  Here is a selection of cards I made recently pre-injection hope it works and I am soon back to crafting not computing  Hugs Anne xx  The grey and white card with the yellow butterflies is made with fabric I used to make a dress for my engagement xx years ago, I have been married now for 32 years!!

These two cards were made with a LOTV stamp borrowed from a friend and I have also used two of my new insert dies which I like
