Time to start thinking about Christmas cards and gift tags, and if you're like me, I'm nearly done making these for 2019. But those will be revealed at a later date once they have been delivered. I loved my Season's Tweetings cards and used Lawn Fawn stamps and matching dies for these. I stamped out… Continue reading Season’s Tweetings
So a half seasonal cake today - most people would be expecting a Halloween idea from me...but Halloween is not for me! So have gone with an autumnal woodland animal cake. I used a standard vanilla cake and buttercream as this was going to be donated as a charity auction prize, so when in doubt… Continue reading Autumn woodland animal cake
Scrapbooking… one of those things that I always put on the back burner. Why? Because it is for me! I really enjoy scrapbooking, in particular my holidays, and I love looking at all of my holiday photos time and time again (and if you’re not aware I love taking photos as well). But I still… Continue reading Florida scrapbook front page
One of my go to new baby gifts is a baby blanket that fits a crib. Sometimes I use the quilt panels and other times, I just use cotton fabric that I like. Either way, they are all the same size 112 x 92 cm (or 44 x 36 inches). I always make them lightweight… Continue reading Baby blankets
Making gifts for my nephew has to be one of the hardest jobs as well him being at that age where he is also getting difficult to shop for. Luckily for me, he is a big sports fan - football/soccer in particular. This was a project from a few years ago when he started playing,… Continue reading Football medal hanger
Again, like the dog cake, I also make cat themed cakes for my local animal shelter. I honestly can’t remember what flavour this cake was, most likely either chocolate or vanilla to keep it simple and cater to anyone who won it in the raffle. I love making these cakes, always fun and different but… Continue reading Cat Cake
Of course, using my Cricut again (I’d seriously be lost without this). I made this card many years ago for my nephew’s 6th birthday. All of the shapes came from the Create a Critter cartridge, pick your cut out and colour and ready to go! This would work with a number of other images/shapes too! Now… Continue reading Dinosaur birthday card
Another style of bib I often make is using pre-made bibs and attaching a cut out using Heat n’ Bond. You could of course, make your own for this as well. Find your design in the Cricut Design Space software (I have the subscription), get them ready to cut. Pop your Heat n’ Bond on… Continue reading Heat n’ Bond Bibs
Supplies needed: front and back fabric, thread, scissors, snaps & snap applicator (can use other fasteners as well). So many of my friends are having kids now, this is keeping me incredibly busy with projects for gifts for their arrival and following birthdays! One of the more popular requests (yes my friends actually make requests… Continue reading Bandana bibs
For any little mermaid in training, a personalised towel makes a wonderful gift. For this project I used cotton fabric that I had in my bag of scraps (my goodness that is a large bag that just seems to keep growing). Iron Heat n' Bond onto the wrong side/reverse side of the fabric. I always… Continue reading Customised swim towel
