You’re dog-gone awesome!

Hi there!

Day 25 of The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge and I’ve been colouring Avery Elle images today! I’m entering this into the current Seven Hills Crafts Challenge which is a tic-tac-toe challenge. I chose the first vertical line – animals/embossing/patterned paper. The paper is by My Mind’s Eye and the embossing folder is by Sizzix.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello friends! I’m playing along with the current @freshlymadesketches challenge today. I used a @simonsaysstamp leaf die which I turned to the side, leaving a nice bit of space at the base of the circle- perfect for the sentiment strip! The sentiment is by @mftstamps and the little butterflies are from @pennyblackstamps. I’m also entering this into the current #sssflickrchallenge - anything goes. #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #mftstamps #pennyblackinc #pennyblackdies #distressink #inkblending #diecutting #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello friends! I’ve had a lovely crafty day! So much fun! I finally used the amazing Peppermint Zone background die from @winnieandwalter. Isn’t it a fabulous design? I didn’t want to cover the die so I just added a simple sentiment, also by @winnieandwalter and a few stars. I’m entering this into the current @colorthrowdown challenge - the palette is navy, aqua and coral. #winnieandwalter #winnieandwalterdies #distressoxide #colorthrowdown #ctd544 #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #diecutting

Happy Friyay friends! It’s been a busy but productive week and I’m looking forward to a long weekend crafting! What are you up to? I received a small @simonsaysstamp order yesterday which included the fabulous tulip die which I’d liked since last #diecember and finally bought last week! I’m entering this into the current @the_flower_challenge (embossing) and the #sssflickrchallenge (anything goes). Have a wonderful weekend! #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #theflowerchallenge #distressink #distressinkblending #inlaiddiecutting #dryembossing #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards

Hello! I’ve been spending a lot of time working in my garden recently. I don’t know what happened this spring but all my shrubs have grown like crazy and well let’s just say parts resembled a jungle rather than a suburban garden! Anyway when I saw that the current #paperplayerschallenge had a theme of CAS/plant, I just had to play along! I used an old, loved, but sadly little-used stamp set from @altenewllc for my take. The sentiment is by @clearlybesotted. #altenew #altenewstamps #altenewllc #altenewgardengrow #clearlybesotted #clearlybesottedstamps #thepaperplayers #handmadecards #twinklingh2o #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Sunday! Today I’m playing along with the @memoryboxco challenge which has a theme of embossing. Of course I chose dry embossing (although heat embossing is super cool and got me hooked on crafting!). I used an older @memoryboxco butterfly frame die and a few #distressoxide panels. The embossing folder is by #cuttlebug and the sentiment is also by @memoryboxco. Full details are on my blog. Have a great evening! #memorybox #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #memoryboxstamps #butterflies #cuttlebugembossingfolder #dryembossing #embossingfolder #outsidetheboxchallenge #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Saturday! There's another great sketch for the @freshlymadesketches challenge this week - it gave me so many ideas! In the end, I decided to use some stamps from @heroarts and a couple of dies from @memoryboxco together with a @teamspellbinders embossing folder. I stepped outside my pastel-coloured comfort zone and embrace the bright colours! I pulled out the brightest #twinkingh2o paints and got colouring. Usually I choose the background paper before I colour as I find it easier (and quicker) to create that way... but today I didn't and spent a happy time flicking through my old @official_basicgrey paper pads.... Yep, this card took MUCH longer than it should have! I'm also entering this into the @the_flower_challenge which has the theme of embossing. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! #heroarts #heroartsstamps #memorybox #memoryboxdies #memoryboxco #spellbinders #spellbindersembossingfolder #freshlymadesketches #flowerchallenge #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Friyay friends! As soon as I saw the sketch for the current #cascoloursandsketches challenge, I thought of an older @memoryboxco die with lines and dots which matched the main shape on the sketch. I ended up pairing it with my newest @memoryboxco die - the fabulous Daisy Silhouette, which I covered with #nuvoglittergloss. It’s got such a nice subtle shimmer in real life, so difficult to photograph though! Have a lovely weekend! #memorybox #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #inkblending #distressoxide #cascard #cascardchallenge #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstgram

Hello friends! There’s another lovely colour combo for the @colorthrowdown Challenge this week - aqua, green and grey. I used a couple of dies from @simonsaysstamp for my card. I love that border die, but that inlaid die cutting took quite a bit longer than I thought it would! #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #inlaiddiecutting #distressoxide #colorthrowdown #ctd543 #cascard #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello! I treated myself to a day in the craftroom today as my planned crafty weekend didn’t happen. This morning I got super inky with my new distress oxide sprays and this afternoon I went from one extreme to the other as I made this all white card! I used one of my favourite dies from @simplygraphic (die étamines) and a sentiment from @savvystamps. I’m entering this into the current #casonfriday challenge. #simplygraphic #simplygraphicdies #savvystamps #savvystampsdies #cascard #caschallenge #diecutting #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hi everyone! I’ve been battling a migraine alllll weekend. And of course it’s only getting better now that Sunday is almost over 😡 I didn’t get to craft much as a result but I have been able to do this super quick card for the @freshlymadesketches challenge. I used @official_basicgrey paper, an older die from @memoryboxco and a sentiment from @heroarts. #freshlymadesketches #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #heroarts #handmadecards #cascard #cardmakersofinstagram #diecutting #twinklingh20s

Happy Saturday! My new @memoryboxco dies arrived this morning (thanks @crafts4lessuk !) and I just had to play with them straightaway! I used the beautiful colour palette from this week’s @colorthrowdown challenge and added a stamped sentiment, also by @memoryboxco. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! #memorybox #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #memoryboxstamps #distressoxide #colorthrowdown #ctd542 #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #diecutting

Hello friends! I finally used this pretty dahlia stem die which was an impulse buy from @simonsaysstamp. I couldn’t decide between two floral dies... and went for this one. I still keep thinking about the other one though 🙄 Anyway, I did a bit of controlled ink smooshing on the background and then coloured the die cut using #distressink. The sentiment is by @clearlybesotted. #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #inkblending #inksmooshing #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #diecutting #inlaiddiecutting

Happy Tuesday! Today I’m playing along with the current #casethissketch challenge. When I saw the sketch, I thought about using some corner stamps but I wanted to do something a bit different, so I started looking through my dies. I liked the positioning of the butterflies on the three frames of the @poppystamps Butterfly Triptych die and realised that I could use them in my take on the sketch challenge by cutting away half of each of the frames! I added a @poppystamps sentiment and some glittery @simonsaysstamp butterflies to complete my card. I’m also entering this into the current @poppystamps challenge and the @aaabirthdaychallenge. #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #poppystampschallenge #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #casethissketchchallenge #diecutting #inlaiddiecutting #distressoxide #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello friends! I had a busy bank holiday in my garden but I just managed to sneak in a quick entry to the @freshlymadesketches challenge just at the end of my day! I used the @simonsaysstamp Modern Roses background which I coloured with #distressmarkers before spritzing with water. This background here is actually from second generation stamping. The first image was a little too abstract, but I’ll probably still use it at some point! The sentiment is my @lilinkerdesigns I’m also entering this into the current #sssflickrchallenge where the theme is Mother’s Day or flowers. #simonsaysstamp #lilinkerdesigns #lilinkerdesignsdies #freshlymadesketches #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello friends! This morning, I trimmed down the left over part from yesterday’s card and made it into a frame for a quick and simple birthday card. Well at least it would have been quick if I hadn’t inspected every piece of coloured cardstock in my craft room before choosing this aqua card for the die cut! The stamped daisies are by @altenewllc and the die is from @simonsaysstamp so I’m entering this into the current #sssflickrchallenge (mother’s day / flowers). #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #altenew #altenewstamps #altenewllc #colorlayering #diecutting #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram
