VDUB 1

Here's a copy of one of the sheets I've designed for Craftsuprint. If you'd like to see it made up into a card, click on the banner above, this will direct yuo to the site, and you'll find a lovely card made up by Kerry Sawyers, one of CuP's registered cardmakers.

Hougie Board

Has anyone else got one of these? I got one about a month ago, and its a real gem. Really accurate measurements, all you need to do is score along the groove, cut and fold. No more faffing about with the ruler - certainly worth investigating.....

This is another finished card I've posted up today. Its a really easy pyramid, so its perfect for anyone new to cardmaking. You might find you get better results if you print it out onto glossy photo paper.

It has just four layers which are easy to line up and fix with sticky pads. I've mounted the finished pyramid and the greeting onto small pieces of green mirror board and then placed these two sections onto the pink background.

The complete topper is then fixed onto an A5 card, I chose green because I'd used green mirror board, but you can change yours to suit. A line of 4 little gems are added bottom right, just as an extra touch of dimension.

If you like to have a go, the sheet number is: cup 81257_815. Just click on the banner at the head of this blog, and you'll be directed straight to the site.

I've uploaded this picture this morning to the CuP site, its made up from one of my earlier sheets; trouble is, there is so much new stuff being added all the time, the earlier sheets tend to get overlooked.

This one is made using sheet no: cup81223_815

If you'd like to have a go, just click on the banner at the top - you are welcome to copy my layouts, but I'd be really pleased to see any variations you might come up with

Can't seem to find enough hours.....

I just can't find enough hours in the day to get on with what I really want to do, which is of course crafting (first and foremost), and getting this blog sorted out.

Most of my spare time seems to be spent on either checking through the Craftsuprint site, or designing new sheets. Then I have to get a few hours shut-eye before dashing off to work again the next morning....

Wearing me out!

I can't decide whether its because I such a computer dummy or what, but its really wearing me out setting up this blog page - its much harder than I thought, and all the instructions seem to contain a language I've never learnt. How I wish I we'd had computers when I was at school - when I was there they hadn't even invented the mobile phone! Still, I'm not one to give up without a fight - so I'll keep on going on.

Hello & Welcome

Hello and welcome to my new Blog! Thanks for stopping by.

This is a totally new experience for me; I'd like to share my passion for crafting - especially card making and designing. I've been a crafter for just about as long as I can remember - I blame 'Blue Peter' and all those empty plastic bottles and sticky back plastic, plus being brought up in a 'make do and mend' environment.

I've recently begun to design craft sheet for Craftsuprint - hence the flashing banner at the top. If you'd like to view my designs, please go along and take a look.

As soon as I can work it all out, I shall upload some of my designs onto here. I hope that they inspire fellow crafters.
