A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

Cozy Pup

For the Penny Black Saturday Challenge "Something New":


A new stamp set (new to me, not sure how new it is for Penny Black) full of the wonderful PB critters.  A simple card, stamped, watercoloured, trimmed, with a thin red inlaid border, and a bit of fun flock added to the hat.  

The image reminds me of my dog, Tessa, curled up in her dog bed "guarding" one of my socks that she loves to steal.

Here's a photo of her:

  1. Oh my gosh, you found a stamp that perfectly mimics Tessa! She looks so adorable and how cute she takes your sock and sleeps with it. Dogs are wonderful companions. Lovely water color and the pop of red of the frame is so pretty.
