This was for D’s sister, her birthday was in June. He was after something ‘not girly’, so I had to have a think about it, and what papers and stamps I have. I went with a steampunk themed card using Graphic 45’s Steampunk Debutante collection.
Recently Daedalist requested a card for a male family member. I decided to try out some new things I had to play with, and a different colour scheme to my usual ones. I think it is quite striking.
So I am on leave this week, sick leave to be exact. I wasn’t allowed to drive yesterday or today after having an operation, and so today I decided to set myself some crafting challenges for the week. First up, using papers and embellishments (mostly papers) that I have scattered all over my work desk […]
This is for a family member, I posted it off last week so I hope it arrives soon. And because of the embellishments I actually put it in a padded envelope, so no need for a stamp on the card envelope. It was actually very difficult to come up with a concept and colour palette, […]

I’m a little behind with some of my updates. I’ll try to get them up over the next week or so. First up is a birthday card for one of my work colleagues. I liked the background paper and wanted to make it a feature. So I found a stamp that had a similar style […]
I waited until the people I sent them to got these, but they should have been received by now: Steampunk Christmas Trees Several versions, all made up with a big key stamp as the trunk and cogs and gears as the branches. I really liked this design, was very happy with it. A wooden […]
This is the gift bags I decorated (they were plain white bags) and the matching gift tags for the girls at work The bag has a vintage christmas image layered onto patterned paper, then onto gold paper, then onto the bag. The gift tags used offcuts of decorative paper, and I hand lettered each person’s […]
