My wish for you is every good thing



Hello, how are you? Today I am playing with a new stamp which I received as a birthday gift from a friend - MFT Fairy Best Friend Stamp. It is a lovely set with little fairies and flowers, and the most lovely sentiment. As they are small I immediately thought of using them on artist trading coins, as I make a lot of coins to swap. 


If anyone is new to the coins, I thought I would write the details on how to make them, or at least how I make them!


Artist trading coins are always a 2.5 inch circle. You can choose what to cut it from, a lot of people recycle  food packaging which is a wonderful idea. I usually like to watercolour mine so I cut them from watercolour  paper. I am hopeless at keeping the backs clean so I use regular card to cut another circle to go on the back. 


On the back of the stamps you write your name, date, the title of your coin and the number of how many you have made. If you made 3 you would write 1 of 3, 2 of 3 etc. There are several stamps available which are made especially to stamp on the back of coins, but you can easily write all the information  yourself.



I began by water colouring a background, but of course you could use any medium. I love the sentiment “My Wish For You Is Every Good Thing” I stamped and then embossed it. 


I then stamped some of the flowers from the set around the edges of the coin, and used glitter gelly pens to colour them. 


After stamping and water colouring, I fussy cut the cute fairies, not forgetting to add magical glitter their wings. I adhered them to the coins using  3D sticky pads.You can use any theme to create your coins, the possibilities are endless. 

They are now all ready for me to swap, I have made some inchies using this stamp set too.




I hope these little details have been helpful to anyone new to making coins. 
Thank you so much for visiitng. Take care and stay safe xx

A little sharing Book case



Hello, how are you today? I am not sure how widespread this is, but where I live some people have been hand making little bookcases from boxes etc and placing them in their front gardens. They fill them with books for others to take or swap. I am not a book reader myself, but this is such a nice idea I thought I would make a miniature version using Calico Craft Parts Punch and Judy Kit and Graphic 45’s Mother Goose papers. I am not sure if the Mother Goose range is still available as I have had it for quite a number of years 😁 There are more details about my little bookcase on the Calico Craft Parts Blog

Wishing you a wonderfully happy and magical Christmas time xx

Down the Rabbit Hole


Who would like to follow me down the rabbit hole today? Where it is a world of wonder where people are kind, respectful, considerate and law abiding, and treat others how they would like to be treated themselves?

I used Paperbabe stamps and templates for my White Rabbit. 

Jane Davenport has just released prompts for Mad March Hare, and Alice sketches. I am going to try and join in and complete the prompts. I won’t be up to sketching/painting every day but I will catch up eventually!


I hope all is well with you, and thank you for visiting xx

Happy Easter Weekend



I would like to wish my crafty friends a wonderfully happy and healthy long Easter weekend. I still have some polystyrene eggs to somehow decorate before tomorrow, but I have managed to make a few Hare cards using the  beautiful new Hare die by Creative Expressions 



I am thrilled to say that my Spring Scene frame is in the May issue of Crafts Beautiful magazine! They have sent me  a huge and very generous package of Hunkydory goodies. To share the joy I will add some of the goodies to my next blog giveaway which I will be doing sometime soon.



Not long to the craft show at Alexandra Palace, sadly Indigoblu are not going to be there, so I won’t get my hug : (  but it will still be wonderful to meet everyone else. Just hope I will be ok on the day to go ..

Snowman Scenic Square



I have been busy creating a half dozen of these adorable scenic boxes. Before assembling the mdf pieces 
I painted them and then added a coat of crackle.Sitting happily inside this one you can find a snowman or snowlady, a snowflake, both painted and decorated. Some dried elements, flowers pine cone etc, and some sumptuous  pink berries.
I also used mini polystyrene balls, and oh my goodness they went absolutely everywhere! I think I will still be finding them at Easter!




Thank you for stopping by, I would like to enter my little scene into the Mini Marvel challenge at A Vintage Journey

A Snowy Stroll To Church


Earlier this year I made my sister a Lake District 3D card for her birthday.She loved it and asked me if 
I would make a similar Christmas one for a friend. I have been busy creating it for the last few days, the stamps are by Crafty Individuals, and Clarity Stamps.
So I have started my Christmas crafts for this year, which of course means glitter absolutely everywhere!How are your Christmas /Winter crafts coming along?

The card folded all ready for its envelope.

I have medical appointments this week, I seem to think up most of my crafty ideas staring at waiting room floors !

Dandelion Fairies


These two lovely Fairies are overlooking their field of dandelions. At midnight thousands of fairies emerge from the dandelions and twinkle and sparkle as they flitter  around. Some of them fly away and grant wishes for special,people, while others stay in the field and play and create magic. 


A sideways view of the card, the wings fold inwards so it fits in the envelope!

I watercoloured the background and stamped and heat embossed the dandelions and the lovely sentiment.

Thank you Fairy much for visiting us today.

I would like to share this with the following challenges.
