Golfing Gnome - Woodware

Good evening everyone, 
I have a larger card to share today using a fabulous stamp from Woodware. This is 'Golfing Gnome'.

This Woodware stamp is a lovely big one so I've used a 7" card blank for this one! I've coloured him with promakers and copics. The background papers are from Craft Creations. I've used a Lawn Fawn sun die, Creative Expressions winter tree dies ( which I've coloured) and a La La Lands garden fence die. The sentiment is computer generated.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-

Allsorts Challenge - For Boys or Men

Passion for Markers - Digi or Stamp (My favourite is definitely a physical stamp : I love just being able to pick up a stamp and get colouring rather than having to turn the computer on!)

Polar Bear

Hello everyone, 
I hope you are all having a good start to 2026 and all those resolutions are still going strong. I didn't make any as I'm guaranteed to break them by day 2!
I have managed a little bit of time in my crafty space. I've had this digi print sat on my desk for a very long time! It's an old image from Lili of the Valley.

I've coloured him with promarkers and copics, luckily I got some new pens for Christmas as everyone I picked had run out of ink! The background paper is a gorgeous pad from Crafters Companion - Timeless Shades of Winter. I've used Creative Expressions winter tree dies and a Hunkydory Moonstone snowflake die. The sentiment stamps are from Lili of the Valley.

Baby Hammock - PBSC DT

Good Morning everyone and Happy New Year!

As this is my first post for 2026, I'd like to wish you all a very happy, healthy and crafty year.
Those two weeks have flown by so quickly...really not ready to go back to work! It's the first Saturday of the year which means the first Penny Black Saturday Challenge of the year. This month's theme is...

Anything Goes

(Option : Something New)

I've used an older wooden stamp for my card - this is Baby Hammock.

I've coloured her with promarkers and copics. The background papers are from my box of scraps (I really must use some of these up this year) I think they might be from an old Lili of the Valley pad and Craft Creations.
I've used Sweet Dixie Scalloped square dies and a peony die from Creative Expressions adding card candy to the centre of the flowers. The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley.

Make- believe - Penny Black

Good Morning everyone, 
It's Christmas Eve!! Having been absolutely full of cold/tummy bug for the last week, I am finally feeling a bit better! I didn't have the energy to do too much yesterday but did manage to sit down and do a bit of crafting! 
I've used an old Penny Black wooden stamp for this card - Make Believe.

I've coloured him with promarkers and copics, and added a red gem for the reindeers nose. The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley - printed out on the large side! The background paper is from a Hunkydory duo design pad - nordic animals and winter wood. I've used a Marianne designs treed die LR0379. I fussy cut the hedgehog and added to the background with 3D foam pads.
