Hi there!

I created a distress ink background for Day 21 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge and used an older Cottage Cutz owl die for this card. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

I’m entering this into the current Case This Sketch Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone! It’s been a busy weekend but I managed to get a few hours in the craftroom this afternoon! This is my entry for the current @freshlymadesketches challenge. Please tell me I’m not the only one who looked at the sketch and thought of the London Underground 🚇 Anyway, I managed to put my commuting nightmares to one side and came up with this festive card using a @simonsaysstamp die and sentiment from @mftstamps #freshlymadesketches #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #mftstamps #distressink #christmascards #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #sssigchallenge

Happy Saturday dear friends! I’m playing along with one of my favourite challenges today - @colorthrowdown The combo this week is lavender, purple and green and I played with a new #mybrightrosa die and stencil and lots of purple #nuvoglitterdrops ! The sentiment is by @dawnwplus9 This is my colouring for Day 16 of #thedailymarker30day Have a great weekend 💕 #colorthrowdown #ctd569 #distressoxidespray #twinklingh2o #diecutting #wplus9 #wplus9dies #stencilling #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #brightrosa #brightrosadies #craftstash

Happy Wednesday friends! I’m the guest designer over at the #casstencil challenge this month where the technique is monoprint stencilling. I must confess that I struggled a little (ok a LOT!) with this technique, perhaps I’m too much of a perfectionist.... but I kept all my rejected backgrounds and I WILL use them up! I made this card with a reject background using dies from @memoryboxco and @savvystamps The stencil is by #cartabella Have a great day! #casstencilchallenge #stencilmonoprint #stencilmonoprinting #memorybox #memoryboxdies #memoryboxco #savvystamps #savvystampsdies #distressink #diecutting #christmascard #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello! For my entry into the current @freshlymadesketches challenge, I used some of my newest and oldest @heroarts stamps! The tree and background stamps are from the October release and that ribbon sentiment stamp is from a set made in 2005 😳 I do think I bought it later than that though..... Have a great week! #heroarts #heroartstamps #heroartsdies #distressink #woodmountedstamps #diecutting #stamping #christmascards #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #freshlymadesketches #cardchallenge

Hello! I’ve been able to spend more time in my craft room today and pulled out one of my older @pennyblackstamps stamps to colour. I used the combo from this week’s @colorthrowdown challenge (brown, orange, moss green and cream). Once I finished colouring, I decided I wanted to add a little something extra.... so I pulled out some @poppystamps kitty dies, and coloured them, using my parents’ cats as inspiration.... one of whom has definitely been known to get himself stuck up a tree 🙀 The sentiment is by @simonsaysstamp #colorthrowdown #ctd568 #thedailymarker30day #pennyblackstamps #pennyblackink #treeheart #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #simonsaysstamp #twinklingh2o #stamping #diecutting #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Saturday friends! I’ve played along with @traceymcneely ‘s Christmas tag challenge for the past couple of years and it made a HUGE difference to my Christmas preparations (and stress levels) so I’m playing along again this year! I tried to use sponsor products as far as possible and ended up using products by @altenewllc @ellenhutsonllc @newtonsnook @unikoltd @reverseconfetti @heroarts and @memoryboxco for these tags. Full details are on my blog and I’ve also tagged the designers who provided the inspiration for my tags. My #newtonsnook tag was coloured using #twinklingh2o paints and I used the #altenewwatercolor set for my #Altenew tag - more colouring for @kathyrac’s #thedailymarker30day ! #essentialsbyellen #unikostamps #reverseconfetti #25daysoftags2019

Hello friends! Today I’m playing along with the current @freshlymadesketches challenge. I created a background panel with #distressoxide ink and a quirky @iostamps background stamp. I wanted that stamp so much this time last year, but I couldn’t find it anywhere... I ended up buying it at #simonsayscreate as I KNEW I’d use it this year! The fabulous deer die is from @pennyblackstamps #iostamps #pennyblackdies #pennyblackinc #inkblending #diecutting #thedailymarker30day #christmascard #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #freshlymadesketches

Autumn Greetings from a wet and windy London! I’m playing along with the current @colorthrowdown challenge which has a super autumn combo - teal, olive, rust and navy blue. I used dies from @simonsaysstamp @simplygraphic and @memoryboxco and lots of #distressink for my take! I’m not sure whether ink blending counts as colouring for @kathyrac ‘s #thedailymarker30day but, hey I added colour to something and had fun, so I’m thinking it does!! Have a lovely weekend! #colorthrowdown #ctd566 #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #simplygraphic #simplygraphicdies #autumncard #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Halloween friends 👻 Here’s a card I made with the cute @simonsaysstamp ghost stencil and some @ellenhutsonllc bats! For the background, I used a @heroarts stamp spritzed with water to lift off some #distressoxide ink - such a fun technique! Originally I had used a stencil on the background (➡️ to see) but once I assembled the card, I wanted to change it! 🙄 Luckily it was quite easy to remove the elements and my original background is unscathed so I can use it for something else! 😀 Have a great day! #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampstencils #essentialsbyellen #heroarts #heroartsstamps #inklifting #inkblending #diecutting #stencilling #happyhalloween #halloweencards #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #halloween2019

Hello friends! Today I’m playing along with the @colorthrowdown challenge! It’s such a fun inspiration pic this week, it made me think of a building I encountered during a trip to Harvard MANY years ago (➡️ sorry about the photo quality - I actually took it with a film camera, yep that’s how long ago it was!) So using my little Harvard scene as inspiration, this is what I came up with! I used a stencil and sentiment stamp from @mftstamps and LOTS of @poppystamps die cut pumpkins! Have a great week! #colorthrowdown #ctd564 #mftstamps #mftstencils #distressoxide #diecutting #autumncard #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello friends! We actually saw the sun in London today and I was finally able to do a bit of gardening! I did manage to squeeze in some crafting too! This is for the current @freshlymadesketches challenge- I used the fabulous @heroarts / @official_basicgrey graphic leaves background stamp! Oh how I miss Basic Grey patterned paper! I used to love those unique collections! I’m also entering this into the current @ablognamedhero challenge - the theme is nature. #heroarts #heroartsstamps #basicgreystamps #heatembossing #twinklingh2o #autumncard #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello friends! It’s that time of year again when I realise Halloween is less than a week away and I’ve barely used a fraction of my Halloween supplies 😱 I try to stop myself from buying many Halloween supplies but when I saw that @diestodiefor had this fun ghost stamp, I HAD to buy it as I couldn’t get hold of it last year! I coloured the ghost with #twinklingh2o paintsand added some #inkon3pixiedust - just look at that sparkle! I used the sketch from #cascoloursandsketches challenge and I’m also entering this into the current #simonsaysstampmondaychallenge The sentiment is by @mftstamps #picketfencestudios #picketfencestamps #picketfencestudiosstamps #mftstamps #distressoxide #stamping #heatembossing #ghost #halloween #halloweencards #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #simonsaysstamp

Hello! I rarely play along with the @mftstamps sketch challenge. Not sure why... maybe it’s because it rarely pops up on my IG feeds.... or when I do see it, I don’t have any MFT product that ‘goes’.... but this week, friends, the stars aligned and I immediately thought of this fun snowman stamp when I saw the sketch! I used some gorgeous #cosmicshimmerlunapaste with a #mftstencil and the colour combo from this week’s #cascoloursandsketches challenge. Have a great week! #mftstamps #dienamics #mftsketchchallenge #twinklingh2o #lunapaste #christmascards #stencilling #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello friends! Well that weekend just flew by didn’t it! I managed to get a bit more crafting done today - this is my entry for the current @freshlymadesketches challenge. I used elements from the @prettypinkposh Autumn Wreath set. I often overlook these little stamps as I always tend to use the gorgeous wreath stamp, but thought the little images would work perfectly for the sketch! The sentiment is by @heroarts #prettypinkposh #prettypinkposhstamps #prettypinkposhdies #heroarts #heroartsstamps #distressink #inksmooshing #diecutting #autumncard #twinklingh2o #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards

Hello friends! I spent a lovely morning in my craft room getting inky and creating a load of fun background panels! I probably spent too long trying to make one for the current @colorthrowdown challenge. Eventually I was happy and cut it with the gorgeous @lilinkerdesigns butterfly die. The sentiment is also by Lil Inker. #lilinkerdesigns #lilinkerdesignsdies #colorthrowdown #ctd565 #inkblending #diecutting #inlaiddiecutting #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards
