Moon Girl Birthday Card

A birthday card for a friend who loves dragonflies, using Moon Girl by Stampotique. I was inspired to use Moon Girl after first seeing her on Sam's blog, and I'll be using her a lot I'm sure :-)


I stamped Moon Girl onto pink card and glittered her wings. The background is card from a box of hyacinth bulbs, embossed with the Cuttlebug birds & swirls folder. The branch and dragonfly are die cut and the flowers are punched with sticky gems in the centre. The flower is from a bunch of fabric flowers.

Birds & Flowers

I made this card using the lovely free papers and stamp from Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine.


I stamped the birds onto the spotty paper and cut it out using a Spellbinders die, and matted onto a larger die cut scalloped oval.

I added brads to the centre of the flowers, and a raffia bow.

Highland Cow Christmas Card

I got this lovely stamp as a birthday present from a friend, I thought it was perfect for a Christmas card.

It's from the Heritage Rubber Stamp Co. I stamped it in brown ink and heat embossed it, with glitter added to his horns and grass, then cut the image out with a Spellbinders die.

The card base is a Kraft card blank. I stamped the background onto speckle card and inked the edges, the snowflakes are punched and glittered with card candi added to the centres. Brown raffia tied down the side.

Cross Stitch Reindeer Card

The pattern for the reindeer is from Scandinavian Cross Stitch Designs by Jana Hauschild Lindberg. I stitched the reindeer on 14 count rustico aida fabric and attached it to a piece of card slightly smaller than the fabric with brads, and then fixed it to the background with foam tape.

I made the background by stamping a small snowflake on some speckle card with brown ink, and stuck this onto a kraft card blank. To finish it off I tied brown satin holly ribbon along the side.

Cat Tea Cosy

A tea cosy I knitted for a friend for Christmas. The pattern came from a book called Tea Cozies 2. A few years ago Knitting magazine held a tea cosy designing competition and this book is a compilation of some of the entries they had.


The cosy was designed by Sheila Woolrich, I knitted the main part of the cosy in Stylecraft Life double knitting wool, using one strand of cream and one strand of pebble.

Everything else is double knitting wool from my stash. The small yellow flowers are crocheted with crochet chains for the stems.

The large purple flower is also crocheted with one of the smaller flowers in the centre, the leaves are knitted.

Christmas Gift Cards

Some gift cards I made for Christmas, all using papers and images from Polkadoodles,

the reindeer cards using the Jingle Jangle Christmas CD, with the addition of glitter glue, organza ribbon, gingham ribbon and sticky pearls.

The gingerbread men and gingham paper are from the Sundae of Seasons CD, and I tied orange garden string down the side.


All the cards have a pocket on the front, containing a tiny envelope with a gift inside.

Tealite Holder Card

A Christmas tealite holder card I made for a friend, the instructions for it are on this DVD from Crafter's Companion.

The papers and reindeer stamp were from magazines, the snowflakes are punched out, glittered and card candi added to the centres.

I matted the patterned paper onto green bazzil card, stuck the reindeer onto a scalloped oval cut with a Spellbinders die which I embossed with a Cuttlebug swiss dots folder, and added a couple of raffia bows.



And here's the box I made for it, the dotty paper was also a freebie from a magazine.
