Hello! I received the cute @heroarts seal stamps last week and couldn’t wait to use them! Isn’t this seal sweet? Reminds me of one I saw in Alaska a few months ago - he was really showing off for us as our boat went by! So when I saw this sentiment in a @papersmooches set that I ordered at the same time, I knew I had to use them both on one card! I created the background with #distressoxide inks and glossy paper. I can’t use alcohol inks so I love that this technique creates a similar effect! PS Sorry for the repost, but my photo went fuzzy, very odd! #freshlymadesketches #heroarts #heroartsstamps #papersmooches #papersmoochesstamps #handmadecards

It’s the 15th which means it’s time for my @craftsuloveltd DT card. This month I receive the fabulous @johnnxtdoor butterflies set and tried to use every stamp in the set on one card 😆. I didn’t quite manage it! To finish off the card, I added a sentiment from @pennyblackstamps and some gems. This card came together so quickly - maybe 20 minutes - so rare for me!! #craftsulove #johnnextdoor #distressoxide #pennyblackstamps #handmadecards #20minutecard

Hello my name is Lucie and I may have a problem with background dies 😉. Love them all! But they have a higher price point so I often dither before committing.... But when I saw this fabulous @reverseconfetti background die a few weeks ago, I KNEW there would be no dithering! I had to have it and snapped it up as soon as @sevenhillscrafts had it in store on Tuesday! Isn’t it fabulous! Got so many ideas for it! Today I popped the die cut on top of one of my rejected #distressoxide blended backgrounds and added a sentiment from @winnieandwalter. It’s safe to say I’ll be using this background die a LOT!!! Have a good evening, all! #reverseconfetti #reverseconfettidies #winnieandwalter #winnieandwalterdies #handmadecards #madewithsevenhills

Hello! It’s Wednesday so that means the @colorthrowdown team have another fabulous colour combo (yellow, kraft, grey and white) and here’s what I can up with. I used a background die by @poppystamps and dies and stamps from @simonsaysstamp. I’m also entering this in the current #sssmchallenge, #ssswchallenge and #sssflickrchallenge (all summer related). #poppystampsdies #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #sssflutteringby #colorthrowdown #ctd501 #handmadecards

Hello! I’m taking a break from my Christmas in July cards to share this card I made a few weeks ago! Now my sweet friend has received it, I thought I’d post it here! I used the beautiful @altenewllc Starry Flowers stamps and coloured them with my #twinklingh2o paints. The sentiment is also by Altenew. #altenew #altenewllc #altenewstamps #altenewstarryflowers #distressoxide #handmadecards

Hi everyone! Another Christmas in July card again from me today - as that’s also the theme for this fortnight’s @aaacardchallenge. I used some older @heroarts stamps and #distressoxide ink for my card - and I even dusted down one of my very old punches as it was the perfect sized square for the images 🙂 Hope you can play along with us! #aaacardchallenge #aaacard #heroarts #heroartsstamps #christmasinjulycards #handmadecards #christmascards

Happy Friyay! It’s crazy hot here but I’m powering on with my #christmasinjulycards 🎄 For this card I used a die from @memoryboxco and my current favourite product - my @tonicstudios #nuvocrystalglaze. I added #nuvoaquashimmer to the petals before applying the glaze. It’s very shimmery in real life.... can’t seem to capture that on my camera, unfortunately. The sentiment is by @casfridays. I’m entering this into the current #caschristmascardchallenge (poinsettia), #casfridayschallenge (embossing), #sssmchallenge and #ssswchallenge (red, white and/or blue). Have a great weekend. I will be taking advantage of a little football match to go shopping- the stores should be deserted 😉 #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #casfridays #distressink #heatembossing #simonsaysstamp #handmadecards

Hi everyone! After last years’s #festivecardmakingfrenzy, I promised myself that I would start earlier this year. So I’m embracing Christmas in July 🎄 It’s fun to play with the supplies I got in the sales.. or when they were back in stock, like this fabulous @heroarts background stamp that I was so sure I didn’t want.... until I saw what the talented @yana.smakula did with it... by then of course it was out of stock. Anyway, I finally got hold of it earlier this year and today I got to case one of the backgrounds Yana created last year! So much fun! The sentiment stamp is by @casfridays. #heroarts #heroartsstamps #prismacolorpencils #nuvocrystalglaze #nuvoaquashimmer #casfridays #casfridaysstamps #handmadecards #christmascards #christmasinjulycards

Happy Wednesday and Happy 4th of July to my US friends! I’m so excited to be the guest designer for one of my favourite challenges this week - @colorthrowdown. This week’s colour palette is navy, blush, white and gold. The team is celebrating their 500th challenge this week and so I just had to do a celebration card to mark this amazing milestone! Many congrats to the team- past and present 💕 For my card, I used an embossing folder I found at @michaelsstores during a recent trip to the US and dies by @pennyblackstamps @mftstamps @averyellestamps and #crealiesdies. Hope you can play along! Have a great day! #colorthrowdown #ctd500 #pennyblackdies #dienamics #averyelledies #luciegembossinggoal #michaelsstores #handmadecards

Hello! I can’t believe it’s 1 July! Seriously, where did the first half of the year go?! For today’s card, I decided to use a @concordand9th cacti set that I bought last year but had never used 🙄. I embossed it on some card that I’d smooshed onto leftover #colorbursts ink. The different colour particles that you see when you sprinkle the colour bursts had been diluted, but I really like the shade of green! Will definitely try this again! I embossed the kraft rectangle with a folder by @tayloredexpressions and the patterned paper is by @mymindseyeinc I’m entering this into the current #cascoloursandsketches challenge. #concordand9th #concordand9thdies #concordand9thstamps #kenolivercrafts #tayloredexpressions #luciegembossinggoal #mymindseye #handmadecards

Happy Saturday! Today I have my second card for the @craftsuloveltd design team. I was inspired by a Christmas card @mayholicdesign made using lots of @pinkfreshstudio images last year but decided on a monochromatic scheme for my card! The ‘birthday’ stamp is from a set by @heroarts and all other stamps are by @pinkfreshstudio. Full details are on my blog. I’m heading into the garden to enjoy this glorious weather while it lasts... and suspect I will creep into the craft room when it gets too hot 😉 Have a great weekend!☀️ #pinkfreshstudio #pinkfreshstudiostamps #heroarts #heroartsstamps #distressink #distressoxide #handmadecards #craftsulove

Happy Friyay everyone! I absolutely love playing along with the @colorthrowdown challenge- it’s such fun coming up with ways to use the weekly colour combo. Every now and then there’s a combo that isn’t really ‘me’ and I struggled a bit with this week’s palette - blue, green and yellow. In the end, I used an older die from @concordand9th and made my own glitter card with #distressink and #nuvoglimmerpaste. After I made the heart, I felt the card needed something more so I applied some glimmer paste with a stencil from @altenewllc! Got to love all that glitter 🙂 I’m also entering this into the current @wherecreativitymeetsc9 challenge- sparkle and shine. Have a great weekend! #colorthrowdown #colorthrowdownchallenge #ctd499 #concordand9th #concordand9thdies #concordand9thstamps #altenew #altenewllc #altenewstencil #thedailymarker30day #handmadecards #inlaiddiecutting #wherecreativitymeetsc9

Hello from a very hot London! I’m playing along with the current #casethissketch challenge which is very minimalist this week. Sometimes the most minimalist designs require the most thought, don’t you think?! In the end, I cut a background I created with #kenolivercolorburst and #cosmicshimmerpixiepowder with a die from @mariannedesign_ . The sentiment is by @heroarts. #casethissketchchallenge #mariannedesign #mariannedesigndies #heroarts #heroartsstamps #kenolivercrafts #colorbursts #cosmicshimmer #handmadecards #thedailymarker30day

I was also totally inspired by @jennifermcguireink’s faux stained glass window technique and had to try it... repeatedly 😉 I originally tried a black outline, but wasn’t too sure about it so tried white and silver card too. Which is your favourite? I think this technique may figure in some of my Christmas cards this year! So much fun! The dies are by @memoryboxco, @mftstamps @simonsaysstamp and @altenewllc. #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #altenew #altenewllc #altenewdies #altenewmarkers #dienamics #jennifermcguireinspired #handmadecards

Hi there! Can you believe it’s time for another @aaacardchallenge?! 2018 is flying by isn’t it?! Anyway the theme for this fortnight’s challenge is ‘use a frame’. I used a couple of my first @simonsaysstamp dies for my card and made the greeting from a ‘happy valentine’s day’ die as (unbelievably) I don’t have a small ‘hi’ die cut! Hope you can play along with us! I’m also entering this into the 100th #sssflickrchallenge where the theme is ‘anything goes’. #aaacard #aaacardchallenge #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #distressink #handmadecards
