Blossom Branch Sympathy


Hi everyone! 

Today I have a CAS card to share toady! 


This 'Blossom Branch' is a digital image from Rachel Vass Designs as is the sentiment, and I have coloured it with a Black Promarker to crate this silhouette

For the background I used Tim Holts Distress ink Speckled Egg and a brick stencil  with Hickory Smoke. 

I have die cut a banner and heat embossed the sentiment 'With Sympathy' with WOW Bright wight.

I die cut the square and border with Black card! 

I hope you like it!

2022 Calendar

 Hi Everyone! 

As some of you know that over the past month I have been colouring a 2022 Calendar with some of my Favourite images. Some of which you can see below: 




I have had some many requests from people asking me how I created my Calendars so I thought I would do a quick video to show you how I created them. 

The Calendar was created by me in Word, and then printed onto Card and hand coloured. 

The best bit is that once the year is over I can re-use the images on Cards - love a 2 for 1 


I hope this helps. 

If there is anything you need help with or don't quite get, please message me, email me, leave a comment and I will be happy to help!

Pleases leave a comment and follow my blog too! 

Happy Crafting!

Cats and Dogs Love

Hi everyone! 

Popping in with a Quick make today!

I'm using the Planner Emoji digital stamp set from Some odd Girl, which you can get from the Whimsy store here  


I have used a Heart masking stencil from T4TD and Tim Holtz Distress inks to create the heart center. 

coloured used - Spun Sugar, Lipstick Red and aged Mahogany. I then used some Cosmic Shimmer Iridescent Shimmering Watercolour Paints to create the splatters.  

While the heart was drying I coloured the Cat and Dog emoji with Promarkers and fussy cut! 

Once the heart was dry I removed the stencil and stamped the sentiment 'Cari Ti' which is Welsh for 'Love you' 

I then used foam squares on the back of the cat and dog to raise them from the card. 

To complete I added a bit of white gel pen to add some accents to the images. 

Hope you like it!

Neeja - DDS

 Hi everyone!

Here is another Sneak Peek from Digi Doodle Studio using the fairy Neeja

Shock tho, I have not done a card this time, I have done a bright fairy garden on a door hanger! 

this new release will be available in the Digi Doodle store on Friday January 15th 2021


To begin I took a wood door hanger, and I think this one is from Hobbycraft, and covered it with a wood effect paper and cut around the edge. I then used Tim Holts Vintage Photo distress inks to distress the edges. 

I die cut sever items to add to my scene, including a fairy door, Large Mushroom and the Dream sentiment from Cut and Make, the squirrel, butterflies and Small Mushroom from Tattered Lace, and the Trees and Fence from Magnolia Tilda. 

These were then coloured or distressed with distress inks. 

Neeja was then coloured with Promarkers and fussy cut and added to the scene created with the embellishments. 

I hope you like it!
