About Me

My photo
I'm a retired primary school teacher, who started paper crafting in 2008, when I had a fancy to make my own Christmas cards. Since then, I have tried all sorts of techniques and styles - and I kind of like them all. I have been lucky enough to be on blog teams and large design teams and to do a bit of freelance demonstrating - and I love the challenge of working with different products. My crafting style is very varied - from junk journaling and art journaling, bookbinding and journal making, to quilting and patchwork - and of course I still make cards. This variety keeps me interested - and my crafty stash growing!! I'm always seeking inspiration for new projects.

Hunkydory - A Letter To Santa

A different collection from the Hunkydory 2019 Blockbuster today. These two cards are from the Winter Warmers collection, and use the "A Letter To Santa" Topper set.

For me, the A4 card didn't really lend itself to the card size that I wanted, so the first one is on a 5x5 scalloped card blank.

And the second is on a 7x7 card blank. Each uses some gold mirror card, with some red and grey paper from an old Lildl Crelando paper pad.

Christmas Pudding Easel Cards

Whilst most of my cards this year are using up Hunkydory topper stash, I did batch make a couple of other designs. When I was looking through what I had, I found a load of pre-cut circle easel topper cards (think they are Hunkydory). I also found these Christmas Pudding die cuts. Now, they have got to have been in my stash for a good 12 years!! Still, I have used them now - and I actually think they look really good. 

For all of them, I used a selection of circle dies for the topper and also for the stopper. These include Spellbinders Scalloped Circles, Crafter's Companion Stitched Edge Circles, Crafter's Companion Essentials Scalloped Circles and Julie Hickey Designs Dinky Circles.

All have gold mirror card as the back mount. And each uses cardstock from my old stash, most is Kanban, but I think the foiled holly one many have been Hunkydory. 

The little holly embellishment and the sentiment are Creative Expressions Festive Collection Deco Sentiments.

A Lovely Day

Today's card was for my lovely sister-in-law's birthday.  I used Hunkydory Peony Dreams - A Lovely Day for both the topper and patterned card. To that, I added some pink Core'dinations card and silver mirror card, cut with Crafter's Companion Stitched Squares and Inverted Stitched Lace Scalloped Squares.  I love this palette of pink and blue!! 


Happy crafting!!

Fun On Safari

It was recently my eldest grandson's second birthday. We've barely seen him this past year, and missed his first birthday! Anyway, we were able to have a garden visit this weekend, and I made his birthday card using Hunkydory's Pick and Mix - Fun On Safari topper sheet.


I teamed it up with card card from Manly Moments, and Floral Delights - both Hunkydory packs. The name was cut with Diamond Press Block Alpha dies, and the number using Crafter's Companion 3" number dies.

Happy crafting,
Cxxx
