Nine butterfly shapes arranged in three rows of three on a red card, with Springlike place names. From the top left, March, Chicklade, Primrosehill, Maypole Green, Springfield, Lambs Green, Easter, Bunny and Eggesford

As it's supposed to be Spring, even though it's chilly and is blowing a hoolie outside, here's a card I made with Spring/Easter place names. A butterfly-shaped paper punch was used to cut shapes from an old atlas #handmade #myowndesign #greetingscard #papercollage #savedfromlandfill #Spring #Easter

Cross-stitch card with MUM in dark red thread, and embellishments (including a heart and a butterfly) in green and yellow threads

HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY! #crossstitch #myowndesign #handmade #mothersday

A small white dog is in a grey vessel (it's an upside-down lampshade), and has silver spoon handles for oars. The sky is pale blue and the sea is various shades of blue. The finished picture is set in a square-aperture red card, which picks up the red fez worn by the dog. All the items were cut out from old magazines.

This little pooch is finding it difficult to hold the oars in his paws, so is just 'going with the flow' and hoping he'll get to the shore quickly #handmade #myowndesign #papercollage #greetingscard #recycling #oldmagazines #savedfromlandfill #FebruArty2026 #Flow

As soon as I saw this little puppy's face, I knew exactly what picture I wanted to make. Photo shows a brown, black and white puppy wearing a cream hat with a black band. He is sitting in an upturned glass lampshade, in the sea. I wanted to give the impression of it being the end of the day, so chose a sky with the setting sun, which is repeated in the colour of the sea. All items were cut out from old magazines, and placed in a white oval-aperture card.

Another of my paper collage cards is entitled "Lost At Sea", and totally sums up today's #FebruArty theme of #Fear. Poor little pup is afraid he'll never get home! More info in ALT #papercollage #handmade #myowndesign #recycling #oldmagazines #savedfromlandfill

Picture of a boat with a black mast and random patchwork sails. At the top of the mast is a flag depicting a golden sun with a 'face' and the rays resembling hair. The boat is plain red, and the sea is different colours of blue water. Because the sails were quite 'busy', I set the boat against a cloudless dark blue sky. This picture was then set into a square-aperture white card

Today's #FebruArty theme is #Float, so I immediately thought of another of my #papercollage cards. It's entitled 'Jumble Sails' and each element was cut out from old magazine pictures #myowndesign #handmade #recycling #oldmagazines #savedfromlandfill #ilovepuns

A pink and white striped cake with spotted pink icing, both outlined in pink blanket stitch. There is a dark pink flower-shaped button on the top of the cake, to represent a cherry, and the cake is placed on pale brown and white fabric with roses. The whole thing is set into a square aperture pink card

My first thought when I saw today's #FebruArty2026 theme of #Fancy was Fondant Fancies, so this is my version - a fabric applique cupcake! 🥰 More details in Alt #greetingscard #myowndesign #handmade #fabric #applique #handstitched #FebruArty2026 #Fancy

A punched-hole card, with thread in two shades of green plus pink for the centre of the design, mounted in a circular aperture purple card. The ends of the threads are fastened to the back of the white card by sticky tape

The different components required to make the card - a 'piercer' plus mat, three circles of paper/card and a selection of threads, all displayed on a vintage embroidered tray cloth

A threaded card today, which uses a minimal amount of thread. The second photo shows the basic pattern template (copied from a piece of kitchen roll!), a blank circle of card, and the final design made with the use of a 'gadget' #FebruArty #frugal #myowndesign greetingscard

A black & white dog, wearing a yellow sou-wester, is afloat in a blue & white teacup on a very rough sea. A fish is just visible in the sea, looking up at the dog. The sky is very dark & stormy.

As Storm Amy will be arriving for much of the UK over the weekend, this paper collage greetings card, made from old magazine pictures, seemed appropriate - "Storm In A Teacup". Stay safe, everyone! #papercollage #greetingscard #oldmagazines #recycling #savedfromlandfill #myowndesign

Nettie LeCourt was my idea of what a 1920s/30s tennis player would be like. She is totally made from fabric, apart from her facial features, shoes and racquet, and is set against a paper background featuring grass and daisies. She is wearing a white pleated skirt with red trim, a white short-sleeved top under a sleeveless red pullover with the same red trim at the neckline, which is also used for a headband. The fingers are shorter than I would have liked as they are extremely small, and kept fraying. The whole picture is just 4" tall

Courtney Tennison is dressed in a white shirt and trousers, with black shoes, a black belt, and a black & white striped tie. He is holding a racquet and tennis ball, and looks very dapper with his centrally-parted black hair and black moustache. He is set against the same background paper as Nettie LeCourt. Again, everything is fabric apart from his hair, eyes, shoes, belt and racquet

Lorna Tennys is from the Edwardian era, and is wearing a white lace-trimmed dress with a pink sash belt, brown boots, and a brown and pink hat. She is set against paper featuring grass with buttercups. The only things not made from fabric are her eyes, mouth, boots and racquet.

Finally able to start catching up with #JuliArty. As it's #Wimbledon fortnight here in the UK, I give you #game set & match! These three tennis players are mixed media (mostly fabric) collage cards, with pun-influenced names - Nettie LeCourt, Courtney Tennison & Lorna Tennys #myowndesign #cards

Picture shows a black and white cat with a grey hat perched just above its eyes. The cat is sitting in a red beaker which is decorated with yellow and pink flowers, floating in the water. The sea is wavy strips of water-themed paper, and the sky is pale blue. The image has been set in a red, square-aperture card. Apologies for the rubbish photo, taken a long while ago. The aperture is actually a proper square!

I always forget about #caturday so, while I remember, here's a paper collage card, entitled 'Beaker Boy', and made with things cut out from old magazines. More info in Alt text #papercollage #greetingscard #myowndesign #savedfromlandfill #recycling

Blue and white dotted/striped fabric was used for the body, plus red bias binding to join the two sides. In the centre, a cupcake was made from dark blue and red/green flowered fabric, with red fabric for the icing. It was topped with a green button picking out the green leaves of the cupcake fabric. White buttonhole stitch was used to applique the cupcake to the background fabric.

The same fabric was used for both the carrier bag holder and the cupcake on the tea-cosy. It was elasticated around the bottom to prevent bags from falling out, but the top was more open, to accept new bags. The hanging loop was made from 1" wide white tape

#blue is such a wonderful colour, with shades from very pale to extremely dark. For today's #acolouradAyPRIL, I've chosen a small appliqued tea-cosy plus a matching carrier bag holder, made some years ago #homemade #applique #teacosy #myowndesign #carrierbagholder #ilovecrafting

I start with a pattern, then punch through to a card underneath, then sew the pattern with thread. More (lengthy) details of the process can be found in a previous post. Apologies for the marks on the photograph - I made this a long time ago, and had already put it in a cellophane bag, ready for a craft market. After this, I made sure I photographed cards before they were bagged!

Day 4 of #acolouradAyPRIL and the theme is #green. I have posted one of these 'pin-pricked' cards before (c 9 days ago), but I usually use several different colours of thread. This one just has various shades of one colour. More details in Alt text. #homemade #greetingscard #myowndesign #embroidery

There are kits for this type of card making (apparently called pin-pricking), but I don't 'do' kits and would much rather design my own 😊

Hello to all ! 👋
Here’s a little series of pics of a vest design that’s close to my heart.
The lovely little scarf of the 4th pic is A Chic Scarf by dear Bernice @yamagara
Have a lovely weekend ! 🎉
PS. Sorry I haven’t posted here lately. 😢

Picture of a chick using mottled green & yellow fabric for the body, head & wing, orange fabric for the beak & legs, and red fabric for the hat. The handbag and shoes were cut out of an old magazine. The background was made by my daughter during her school holidays (a long, long time ago!), when we had a go at marbling & I kept all the resulting paper :-)

A close-up of the tiny black bead used for the eye

For today's #MakersmARTch , I have taken the theme of #bead literally. This is a mixed media card with just one extremely tiny bead used as an eye. The "Chic Chick" card is just 3½" by 4½" 😊 #handmade #mixedmedia #greetingscard #myowndesign

Applique design of a red cupcake with cream icing and a red button 'cherry' on top, handstitched onto red, brown and gold coloured fabric. Red bias binding joined both halves of the tea-cosy

Some years ago, I was asked to make a small jewel-coloured tea-cosy, & thought this red & gold fabric was suitable. It's the nearest I can get to today's #MakersmARTch theme of #jewel so hope it's OK! #handmade #applique #teacosy #myowndesign #ilovecrafting

Cross stitch design consisting of three fuchsia flowers branching off a green stalk. The sepals are purple, the corolla dark pink and the stamens a paler pink. Stitched onto white fabric and inset into a pink oval aperture card

#Magenta is today's theme for #FebruARTy, and the definition for that colour is quite wide, but I think this cross-stitch card covers it. The fuchsias in the garden were my inspiration 😊 #handmade #crossstitch #greetingscard #myowndesign #fuchsias

Asymmetrical cog earrings, with larger Cogs at the bottom, a turquoise coloured cut glass bead, and smaller ornamental Cogs at the top, wrapped with Copper artisan wire, with gold ear hooks.

These are my personal earrings. I originally lost these in 2021, and made version.2 and then lost them AGAIN in 2024... so I guess that makes these the third installment 😅. I should really learn to take better care of my own jewellery.

Collage picture of a small sailing boat, with plain brown sails, a clear blue sky and a calm sea. The pennant at the top of the mast has lights, to guide the way

I got a bit flummoxed by today's #flat theme for #JanuArty, as none of my crafty things fitted the description, so this is the nearest I could get; a paper collage greetings card entitled 'Plain Sailing', made using bits from old magazines 😊 #greetingscard #savedfromlandfill #recycle #myowndesign

2/2 It's surprising just how many characters can be created, just by a change of clothing 😊 #JanuArty #Day25 #Vegetable #handmade #greetingscards #myowndesign #savedfromlandfill #ilovecrafting

As well as making cards, I also get great joy in thinking up puns for them. I'd been wanting to make cards with little boats so, of course, sails/sales sprang to mind. Here are Winter Sails, Jumble Sails & Blue Cross Sails. Groans at the ready . . . 😁 #papercollage #handmade #myowndesign #crafts

3/3 The vase for this one was from a picture of a knitted jumper! 😁 #handmade #greetingscards #myowndesign #lovecolour #papercraft

When I began #crafting, the first things I made were #greetingscards, & I still enjoy making them now. I don't 'do' kits, but always design my own - much more fun! I saw the cup in a magazine & knew exactly what the finished card would be - "Storm In A Tea Cup" #papercollage #recycling #myowndesign

2/2 The design became a template for punching holes in a piece of card, then thread was used to make the pattern. I had great fun with different colour combinations & variegated thread. The possibilities are endless! 😊 #handmade #greetingscards #threaded #myowndesign #inspirationeverywhere
