Button robin (class 16)

 Although she added this to my last post I want to make this post so that the robin card stands out.

He was such a joy to make and didn't take as long as some of the stitched cards I've made in the past. He's just a bit different. 

Xmas cards 2026

 Here are my Christmas cards for this year so far ..

I've been working like crazy all through August and I'm not finished yet!

Alice is 6!

 This is the card I've made for Alice this year using chat gpt. Helen took the photo and it's too good to waste!

Happy Birthday Alice!

First Snowman (class 15)

 Christmas is never far away nowadays so we've got to make a start on the cards. This pieced design is taken from something similar in fabric. 

I put a W shape in card, between the back and front at the bottom, to help it to stand properly ( sign on the back) 

I loved the design so much that I altered it slightly to create a scarecrow.

I think with a little more alteration I could create a female version too just for fun!

Bubbles ( class 14)

 This week I wanted to look at making bubbles!  It's such an easy thing and I'm surprised more people don't use it in their card making. 

autumn creatures

Autumn is my favourite time of year! It's just such a pretty season. Its always a pleasure making cards in golden colours.  These are a couple I've just finished. The decoupage design is one of Joanna Sheens which are quite hard to get hold of nowadays. 

True, these will both need a box making for them but it'll be worth it! 

Fruits of autumn

 I wasn't sure what design I would use for this stamp because it's so long! There was a spotty background that I didn't like so I cut the image out. 

I added the bees from another stamp set after the card was made. It was so simple and I'll definitely use this card style again at Christmas! 

Chat gpt

 Using this programm on the internet ( and with Emily's help)  I've been able to create really personalised cards

The top 2 are for special birthdays, then there was one for a friend and several orders. Cool eh?

Shark ( class 13)

 Whilst we were on holiday at the end of May this year, Helen drew a shark. I knew it would be just right on a card so I  made a pieced version. I used a woodware stamps for the sea bed. Not bad eh? 

Mundy school show.

 This year I entered 3 projects into the horticultural show at Mundy Street and 2 of them came first. 

Sam made a tea bread and hot a first for that! Didn't we do well! 

Butterfly flip card ( class 12)

 This week we made a framed centre panel card. It's possible to use any subject and this makes a nice light card! 

I picked out some of the detail in the background paper by colouring it in the same colour as the butterfly. 

Flippin men ( class 11)

 As fathers day approaches it's good to find something original got and this seemed to fit the bill!

Daisy ( class 10)

 Time for a bit more stitching. I thought this daisy design was really lovely but I forgot to take a picture of the card.

This is the best I can do!

tea bag folding ( class 9 )

 It's ages since I last did any of this with kaleidoscopic papers. I really enjoyed these projects they make such attractive gifts! 

Lucie's mum

 This card is for Lucie's mum. She shares a birthday with Emily

A card for Paul

 Recently Paul's taken more interest in bird watching so I thought this card would be appropriate. I used a Woodware stamp for it. ( I love woodware designs and I've got quite a few of them. 

Emily's card

This is my card for Emily this year...

She loves gnomes so I'm hoping she'll like it! 

New from the old

 I still have a few craft creations papers including the one I used for this card. I cut the background away and used the picture to create a 3d box card.. I think it looked really good! 

A few for the May fair

 Here are a few of the cards that I made for the next community fair ( May 2026)
