Hello! Long time no blog! I haven’t been in a crafty mood since November and I wasn’t even going to make Valentine’s Day cards this year, but I happened to get inspired one free afternoon… This year was big on puns 😀 The cards were a hit and I like the way they turned out….

craft fair season 2017
December has begun and I feel like I can breathe again. Last Saturday was my final craft fair of the year. Three weekends in a row I peddled my wares and am already looking forward to next year. BTW, this blog post has been sitting partially written since Monday so I just need to write…
bunch o cards
A family member requested ten general-purpose greeting cards. I was a bit pressed for time so they are on the simple side of things, but sometimes basic is alright. My favourite I think is this cactus one. Sure they are probably soon on their way out trend-wise but they are still cute. I took out…
cards for a 32nd birthday
Just a quick share of a couple of cards. I was asked to make birthday cards a while ago for a 32nd birthday… my own! I am a big fan of the bright neon pink and the way the stenciled bunting came out. I didn’t have my Halloween crafting supplies on hand otherwise they probably…
birthday cards for my sister
My sister is by no means a girly-girl so I love to make cards for her. I like to break out the pink and frills once in a while, but a card for her is a welcome challenge. Here is what I came up with: Here, I inked up a bunch of wooden embellishments to…
graduation cards
Here are the graduation cards I made for the fair I was at this past weekend: They are all simple, but kinda cute. The gold stripes are just stenciled with gold ink, and check out that adorable grad cap on the zero! Jillibean Soup makes shaker cards pretty easy! I went with a silver theme….

Freshly Made Sketches #282
I absolutely love Cecile’s sketch for Freshly Made Sketches #282: How adorable is that!? Once again, I used the opportunity to make a Mother’s Day card: I know it’s a holiday of flowers, but moms are made of all sorts of women and not all women like flowers or pink. Here I went with stars,…
Freshly Made Sketches #279 – floral birthday card
What a neat sketch for Freshly Made Sketches #279: Horizontal layout!!! <3<3<3 Here is my card: I love those vibrant (but somehow kind of pastel) colours of those flowers with the grey. This was my second attempt at this sketch. The first one ended in a glitter spray ink disaster… This one is better, anyway…
Color Throwdown #434 – green, gold & black
It’s green, gold & black for Color Throwdown #434: Here is what I did with that awesome combination: It was super fun to stamp all of those four leaf clovers 🙂 I think they are super cute. It is an older Inkadinkado stamp. Thanks for stopping by!
Color Throwdown #433
It’s cornflower blue, green and white for Color Throwdown #433: Luckily, I had just picked up some blue paper! I die cut and then embossed the front panel. There is also a white embossed panel at the very back there, with the edges inked. I had some Hampton Art ink that matched the blue pretty…
