A BasicGrey card today and it has a charm so I shall be entering into this week's BasicGrey Challenge blog, which is all about charms this week. The block colours are BasicGrey papers but the pattern paper is actually from Rusty Pickle and the music is from a mini-carol book a friend gave me one Christmas. We have our Christmas decorations up…
You make some more. Sorry folks, I just had to make some more Christmas cards based on the Christmas Cupcake design from an earlier post. Is that cheating? Don't worry; these will be the last you see of them (well, unless I do another similar design of course!). Materials: Paper - BasicGrey Cupcake Ink - VersaFine onyx black Usual suspects - Paper…
Back to the Christmas cards and today's card uses BasicGrey Cupcake papers.

A simple card for you today, using the fab sketch from Friday Sketchers. I've used the BasicGrey Wassail (ah, BasicGrey) from Sassy Crafts with a bit of stitching and a bit of distressing. The holly berries are needle felted. It was fun to get my sewing machine out. I always feel really happy in front of my sewing machine for some reason…
Yes, I am obsessed with my new Limitless Limbs stamps AND with Christmas cards, I'm sure I warned you in a previous post?So, this one is for the BasicGrey Challenge blog, which has a Christmas theme this week (so that absolves me of all responsibility for this Christmas card). Teehee. Off to make some more Christmas cards - mmm, what stamp should…
A Christmas card for the BasicGrey challenge this week, which is about stitching. So look closely and you will see the stitching on the ribbon :) The stamp is from Pink Cat Studio, which I managed to get from Dies to Dies For. I had been desperately wanting these fabby stamps and the lovely Tracy stocks them :) There are all sorts…
Another Christmas card, this one is for the BasicGrey challenge blog, which this week is all about the scallops. All the scallops have been hand scalloped (is that a verb? I scallop, you scallop, he scallops, we all scallop) using a circle template, scissors and craft knife and can be found on the long sides of the patterned paper, the circle with…
Here is my first challenge for a while. It is for the BasicGrey Challenge, which has a fab sketch this week. I've recently discovered needle felting so was desperate to try it out for some card embellishments. The free bobbles are needle felted wool onto brads and then I made some mini-bobbles needle felted directly onto the ribbon. What fun. I think…
A new challenge blog comes our way and this one is for the lovely BasicGrey papers. This week their challenge is buttons.

Materials: Stamp - Sugar Nellie Colouring - Letraset Promarkers Ink - VersaFine Black Papers - BasicGrey Mellow Other - Cuttlebug,…

OK, I confess - no, not to a cupcake obsession but to not having that many Penny Black stamps at the moment. So for this week's Penny Black Saturday Challenge, I had to be a bit creative as I have now used all the stamps I have, all two of them! So for this week's challenge, which is ribbons, I have only…
