About Me

My photo
dudley, west midlands, United Kingdom
hi i'm Michelle, I am 39 years old. I'm married to matt, with 2 children. William 13 yrs old and Isobel aged 7. I started making cards in 2010 as a way to relax after suffering with postnatal depression. Unfortunately with working life and having our second child, Isobel. who has additional needs, my crafting got pushed to one side. Having recently renovated our new house I've been able to have my own crafty space again. I'm loving unboxing all my old supplies, and buying new of course. Its mainly card making I'm enjoying, but also had a little dabble in crochet and sewing over lockdown. I've decided to keep using my blog as a place to record all my makes, if only for myself. it was a real trip down memory lane when I found this again after 8 years!!! Of course id love to share my makes with others and learn from you all along the way.

Peekaboo Christmas


 How cute are these little peekaboo stamped characters from crafters companion 😍. They are designed to be used with the half circle or half square aperture die, and stamped front and back. But I thought I’d try something a little different here.

I simply used a circle spellbinder die for the apertures, then stamped & die cut the characters from 3 sets. Sentiments from same sets. 

Coloured with spectrum noir triblends. 

Paper free in craft magazine.
