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!

Happy Monday from a very dull London! Today my @craftsuloveltd DT teamies and I are sharing the cards we came up with using the same @julie8hickey stamp set! And they are all quite different! I decided to make a hidden sentiment card with a @creativeexpressionscraft sentiment die and used the fabulous colour palette from this week’s @colorthrowdown challenge (yellow, orange, rust and brown). #craftsulove #juliehickeydesigns #hiddensentimentcard #handmadecards #colorthrowdown #ctd514

Hello friends! I managed to get some quality crafting time this weekend! Yay! And here’s one of the cards I made using dies from @memoryboxco and @ellenhutsonllc. The sentiment is by @clearlybesotted. I’m entering this into the current @freshlymadesketches challenge. #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #essentialsbyellen #handmadecards #freshlymadesketches #distressoxide

Hello!!! So I was pretty frustrated that my Crazy September meant I couldn’t play with my fabulous Stamptember goodies, especially the @simonsaysstamp Festive Trees set that I loved the moment I saw the sneak peeks! And then today I finally had some quality craft time and my mojo went AWOL! Everything I tried went wrong 😡😡😡. But I managed to create one card at least.. I coloured the tree with @heroarts metallic inks- it’s so shimmery in real life!! I fussy cut the tree and added it to a stencilled background. The sentiment is by @mse_mysentimentsexactly. I’m entering this into the current #ssswchallenge - Christmas. #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampstencils #msestamps #heroarts #christmascards #handmadecards

Happy world card making day, friends! And I finally managed to get into my craft room! Yay indeed! I’m so grateful that @susan.r.opel shared some prompts for today! I decided on dry embossing, 3 ink colours and no stamping. This card took FAR longer than expected as the embossing folder cracked my paper 😡 After a bit of googling, I misted the back of another panel with water and then embossed it! Still a bit of cracking, but I hid that with my @simonsaysstamp die cuts 😉 I’m off to look at all the fabulous IG inspiration now.... and hopefully I can get back in my craftroom tomorrow 🤞🏻 #worldcardmakingday #worldcardmakingday2018 #wcmd2018 #spellbinders #spellbindersembossingfolder #distressink #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #handmadecards #luciegembossinggoal #teamspellbinders

Hello friends! Life has been so busy this month! I’ve missed you all! I’m hoping that October will be less manic... I managed to carve out some much-needed craft time yesterday and made 3 cards for this month’s #caschristmascardchallenge which has the theme of ‘wreath’. For my cards, I did some inlaid die cutting with a couple of @poppystamps dies and I also dusted down some older @rubberstamptapestry stamps and stamped a bauble wreath. Unfortunately I smudged one of the branches, but was able to save my card with a fabulous @concordand9th die cut! Phew! It felt good to craft again! And I was so happy to make 3 cards!!! Which one is your favourite? #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #msestamps #heroarts #heroartsstamps #rubberstamptapestry #concordand9th #concordand9thdies #handmadecards #christmascards

Hi everyone! I haven’t had much time to craft recently, but here’s a quick one layer card I did for the new @aaacardchallenge - the theme is ‘imagine’. All stamps are by @tim_holtz / @stampersanonymous . Hope you can play along with us! #aaacards #aaacardchallenge #timholtzstamps #stampersanonymous #distressink #distressoxide #handmadecards

Hello everyone! Life has been super busy this week! No time for crafting or social media! 😑 I was determined to carve out some time to craft today as I really wanted to play along with a couple of my favourite challenges- @colorthrowdown and @freshlymadesketches. Here’s my card for both challenges! The background die and sentiment are both by @pennyblackstamps and I was finally able to play with my new @heroarts glimmer inks to create the red leaves! Love that shimmer! And the ink is amazing- a little goes a very long way! #pennyblackdies #pennyblackstamps #heroartsglimmermetallicinks #glimmermetallicinks #distressoxide #inlaiddiecutting #handmadecards

Hello! We have a super CAS sketch challenge this fortnight over at @aaacardchallenge. Here’s my take using stamps from our sponsor, @happylittlestampers and my fabulous @altenewllc watercolours. Hope you can play along with us! #happylittlestampers #altenew #altenewwatercolor #aaacardchallenge #aaacards #fallcard #autumncard #handmadecards

Hello everyone! Here’s my take on this week’s amazing colour palette over at the @colorthrowdown challenge (purple, green, red and yellow). I coloured a @pennyblackstamps die using my @altenewllc watercolours, stuck it to a smooshed background and added a @pennyblackstamps sentiment and a few #nuvoglitterdrops to finish it off! Have a great week! #pennyblackdies #pennyblackstamps #distressink #distressoxide #altenewwatercolors #colorthrowdown #ctd508 #handmadecards

Happy Friyay people! And it’s almost #stamptember! I’m so excited!!! The @ablognamedhero challenge theme this month is ‘sparkle and shine’, perfect excuse to crack open the glitter paste.... not that I need any excuses for that! I used a @creativeexpressionscraft stencil and a ton of @tonicstudios glimmer paste for the background and the @heroarts colour layering peacock plus a sentiment die from a #mymonthlyhero kit from earlier in the year! #distressink #nuvoglimmerpaste #creativeexpressions #creativeexpressionsstencil #heroarts #heroartsstamps #heroartsdies #mymonthlyherokit #ablognamedhero #handmadecards #stickles #glitter

Hi everyone! I’ve been playing with some pretty @pinkfreshstudio flower stamps for my latest @craftsuloveltd DT card. After spending quite some time on the background, I really didn’t want to hide too much of it with a sentiment.... I almost added a hidden die cut, but nothing seemed right... In the end, I decided to add a narrow strip with a @heroarts sentiment and a couple of fussy cut flowers. Full details are on my blog. Have a good evening all! #craftsulove #craftsulovedesignteam2018 #pinkfreshstudio #pinkfreshstamps #pinkfreshchallenge #distressink #distressoxide #heroarts #heroartsstamps #handmadecards

Hi there! Look! I finally used the fabulous @ellenhutsonllc Strands die! I wanted this for so long, got it in May and I’m only just using it now! I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to use it! Tell me I’m not alone, crafty friends! Anyway, I decided to make an encouragement card for the @poppystamps challenge (‘make a splash’) and used their little whale stamps, which I had to fussy cut as the coordinating dies have gone AWOL 😡 I created the background using the faux alcohol ink technique with #distressoxide, glossy paper and #distressglaze. I can’t use alcohol inks so I’m happy I can create the same effect. Hey, @ellenhutsonllc can I enter this into your current challenge as an alcohol-free alternative 😂 The sentiment is by @averyellestamps. #poppystamps #poppystampschallenge #essentialsbyellen #essentialsbyellendies #ellenhutsonllc #ellenhutson #averyelle #averyellestamps #handmadecards

Hello! It’s been a very long time since I played along with a @mftstamps challenge, not sure why as I have a LOT of MFT goodies! Anyway, I love the unusual colour palette for the current #mftcolorchallenge (2 shades of blue, kraft and persimmon) and used my favourite snowflake dies for this card. Still can’t believe I had glitter card in the perfect shade of persimmon..... Actually I CAN believe it as I do have quite a glitter card mountain here! I’m also entering this into the current @freshlymadesketches challenge. #mftstamps #dienamics #freshlymadesketches #handmadecards #christmascards #christmasinaugustcard

Happy Friyay everyone! My mojo was missing for most of this week but I eventually made a card! I’ve used the palette from this week’s @colorthrowdown (Line, green, aqua and eggplant) one of my first ever @simonsaysstamp dies - still love this tree! The card I used for the tree and @savvystamps sentiment is actually eggplant but it looks so much darker in this pic! I’m also entering this into the current #caschristmascardchallenge (tree). #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #savvystamps #savvystampsdies #inkblending #distressink #distressoxide #colorthrowdown #ctd507 #handmadecards #christmascards #christmasinaugustcard

Hi everyone! It’s time for a new @aaacardchallenge and this fortnight we are challenging you to use a stencil to create a CAS card. I chose a @johnnxtdoor stencil which I coloured with #distressoxide inks using my new detail ink blending tools. I also added a layer of glitter paste - it was interesting to see how the colour was changed by the glitter glue- I actually used dusty concord ink for the purple tree but it looks more like seedless preserves don’t you think? The sentiment is by @simonsaysstamp. I’m also entering this into the current #caschristmascardchallenge (tree). Hope you can play along with us! #johnnextdoor #johnnextdoorstencil #cosmicshimmertexturepaste #simonsaysstamp #aaacards #aaacardchallenge #christmascards #christmasinaugustcard #handmadecards
