Cut It Up - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's getting more and more emotional as we near the end of term with the boys both leaving to go to new schools.  This week we went to the end of year school play which was fabulous!  More events to come over the next couple of weeks.

Dawn has set the challenge this week and she has asked to see you use your beautiful designer papers in use.  Being a paper lover this challenge was right up my street and I decided to share a card made for a commission.  The customer wanted a card for her daughter that incorporated how special she was using desciptive words.


I used a Craftwork cards pad for this and used different papers from the pad to punch out hexagons which I then arranged on my page.  I cut the descriptive sentiments from another Craftwork Cards pad and backed onto card.  I am very pleased to report both Mum and daughter were very happy with the card.

You can find a lot more inspiration on the challenge HERE and I look forward to seeing what you can come up with as we all have lots of paper pads I'm sure!

I'm looking forward to a relaxing Sunday this week as my current cycle of demos has ended.  The weather is certainly on a summer roll so I'm hoping to get bits done in the garden.

Have a great weekend!

Father's Day Card - CrafTangles June Challenge Inspiration

Happy Wednesday!

I rarely schedule posts but I have on this occassion as I will be celebrating the festival of Eid with my family!  Eid is celebrated to mark the end of the month of fasting for Muslims.  We're very much looking forward to celebrating with family we don't see very often.

I'm up on the CrafTangles blog today with some inspiration for the June challenge which has an Anything Goes theme. 


I love vibrant colours and the latest Simon Hurley inks were what I used for the coloured sentiments. I decided to combine them with CrafTangles stamps and liquid water colour for the spots on the dogs.  

I have a step by step photo tutorial over on the CrafTangles blog HERE if you're interested in learning more.  I hope you'll join in too!


After many weeks of working weekends I have one off before my final Trimcraft demos in Stevenage on 16 June and Hemel Hempstead on 23 June.  

See you again soon,
