Hi, and welcome to my little space, here I will show you my handcrafted cards, jewellery, home decor projects and the occasional baking recipe,

But for today and my first post  on my new blog I want to show you some cards I recently made, but first just a little more about me, I have a number of crafty hobbies from card making to soap and candle making and lots of crafty bits inbetween.
I craft to help ease a chronic pain and neurological condition which affects the muscles tendons and nerves in my body, it's not always easy for me to craft so am hoping by starting this blog it will inspire others and also put a call out for companies to make equipment that is easier to use.

 The first card is made with seed beads sown into the frame, bird die from Sarah Davis together forever collection. On pink pearl cardstock and silver Miri card.  It is an 8 by 8 card.  To cut my dies I use the big blue die cutting machine. It is  electric die cutting machine the same as cut n boss. When I first used the big blue it chewed up and cut my embossing mat instead of embossing the dies. So after playing around I found it needed a thicker embossing mat not had a problem with it ever since.
In fact it gets better the more I use it. It's my go to machine despite having others, but it's the easiest I have found that I can use without hands, wrists and arms hurting.
