Simple Pleasures

Hi there!

Today’s card is for the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge using a Frantic Stamper die and sentiment from Hero Arts.

I blended distress ink and applied distress mica spray before cutting it with the die – I’m loving the gold shimmer!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy hump day friends! Here’s the card that I made for my GD spot on the @colorthrowdown challenge. This week’s amazing combo is purple, blue, turquoise and yellow! Yep, purple AND yellow! That made me ponder my design for a while! And here’s what I came up with - I used my favourite @averyellestamps butterflies, an oldie but goodie heart die from @simonsaysstamp and a sentiment by @pennyblackstamps Hope you can play along with us this week! #ctd557 #colorthrowdown #colorthrowdownchallenge #averyelle #averyellestamps #averyelledies #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #pennyblackstamps #ginakinks #prismacolorpencils #inlaiddiecutting #cardchallenge #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards

Happy Sunday! I finally got into my craft room and made some cards today! This one uses a flipped version of the sketch from the current #cascoloursandsketches challenge. The die is a new-to-me @poppystamps die which I adhered to some paper from my @official_basicgrey paper mountain! The sentiment is from an older @heroarts set. Have a good evening! #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #heroarts #heroartsstamps #diecutting #basicgrey #basicgreypaper #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Saturday dear friends! Its been a busy week with little time for IG but I’m hoping to catch up and get in my craftroom this afternoon! Here’s the card that I made for my GD spot on the @colorthrowdown challenge. This week’s fab combo is light blue, green, yellow, and kraft and here’s what I came up with using a gorgeous stamp from @pennyblackstamps Hope you can play along with us this week! #ctd556 #colorthrowdown #colorthrowdownchallenge #pennyblackstamps #prismacolorpencils #cardchallenge #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards

Hello from a rather cool and very wet London! So odd to think it was over 30C a few weeks ago! Felt more like 13C at times today! Anyway, my mojo is starting to return... I hope! Here’s a card I made for this week’s @freshlymadesketches challenge using @official_basicgrey papers and dies from @simplygraphic and @mftstamps #dienamics #simplygraphicdies #basicgreypaper #freshlymadesketches #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Saturday Everyone! I've been struggling with my mojo recently. I was so motivated to create during Christmas in July but all that creative energy seems to have just disappeared this month. To be fair, life has been busy and a little stressful but today I really wanted to create and I barely made one card. 😏 To kickstart my mojo, I played along with the #globaldesignproject which has a colour challenge this week. I chose a fun set by @paperartsy and started to colour! I spent quite a while trying out various designs before settling on this one. I'm still not completely sure about it, but sometimes you just have to stop and tell yourself, 'that's enough'! . Enjoy the rest of the weekend! #paperartsy #paperartsystamps #heatembossing #twinklingh2o #pinkandmain #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Good morning friends! I’m thrilled to say that I have the honour of being the Guest Designer this month at one of my favourite challenges, @colorthrowdown ! I’m so excited! This week’s beautiful combo is green, yellow, pink and lavender. I always have a problem with lavender- I often feel it ends up being too pink or too purple... thank goodness for milled lavender #distressink ! For my card, I used a @creativeexpressionscraft background die and a sentiment die by @winnieandwalter Hope you can play along with us this week! #ctd555 #colorthrowdown #colorthrowdownchallenge #creativeexpressions #creativeexpressionsdies #inlaiddiecutting #inkblending #winnieandwalter #winnieandwalterdies #pennyblackstamps #pennyblackdies #cardchallenge #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards

Hi Everyone! Well it’s been quite the stressful weekend with various house/garden issues; the atmosphere has not been conducive to creating. And I still have to spend tomorrow waiting for an ‘emergency’ plumber... 😱 But I finally managed to make a card against all the odds today! I'm playing along with #globaldesignproject challenge, which has a CASE the designer challenge this week. I loved the rustic feel of the inspiration card by Janneke de Jong and thought the design was fabulous. I'm so grateful that it provided the inspiration I desperately needed to start creating! The cute kitty is by @poppystamps and the embossing folder is by @tayloredexpressions #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #tayloredexpressions #tayloredexpressionsembossingfolder #embossingfolder #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello everyone! I’ve been trying to find a way to get a good start on my Christmas cards for the past couple of years and I think I have finally found one! Christmas in July! I absolutely LOVED making festive cards this past month! I even wrote a blog post about it! I’d love it if you could drop by and have a read! Thanks friends for all your lovely comments and support, I appreciate each and every one 💕 @heroarts @pennyblackstamps @magentastyle @stampendous @iostamps @memoryboxco @poppystamps @ellenhutsonllc @simonsaysstamp #luciegchristmasinjuly2019 #christmascard #heroarts #pennyblackstamps #magentastudio #stampendous #artimpressions #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #essentialsbyellen #ellenhutsonllc #dienamics #diecutting #embossingfolder #christmascard #christmasinjuly #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #luciegchristmasinjuly2019

Last day of July! How did that happen? And sadly that means it’s the last day of my #luciegchristmasinjuly2019 challenge! Today I finally used the @ellenhutsonllc Alpine Window die set that I’ve been coveting since it was released almost a year ago. I finally got my hands on it in March.... can’t believe how long it’s taken me to use it though! I coloured each layer with #distressink and #twinklingh2o paints and added a healthy amount of #stickles ! You know I love my glitter! #ellenhutsonllc #ellenhutson #ellenhutsondies #ellenhutsonstamps #essentialsbyellen #diecutting #christmascard #christmasinjuly #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello friends! Today I’m playing along with the #trystampinontuesday sketch challenge. I used dies from @simonsaysstamp and @mftstamps for my take! This should have been very quick but I had real problems cutting the glitter paper, which resulted in quite a bit of wasted paper and a rather frazzled cardmaker! #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #dienamics #diecutting #embossingfolder #christmascard #christmasinjuly #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #luciegchristmasinjuly2019

Happy Monday friends! I wasn’t too sure how to use the sketch for the current #cascoloursandsketches challenge but when I was flipping through my festive dies, I spotted my @memoryboxco dancing snowmen and thought they would work well! I coloured them with my #distressinks, added a @clearlybesotted sentiment et voilà! A quick, fun CAS card! Have a great week! #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #christmascard #christmasinjuly #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #luciegchristmasinjuly2019 #diecutting

Hello everyone! More die cutting and glitter for today’s #christmasinjuly card! The theme for the current @memoryboxco challenge is ‘cards with stripes’ so I decided to CASE one of my own cards from last year! I coloured the #memoryboxco deer with #distressoxide and #twinklingh2o paints. For the card base. I used an @echoparkpaper stencil with #distress ink and then #nuvoglitterpaste - love that sparkle! The sentiment is by @heroarts Enjoy the rest of the weekend! #memoryboxdies #outsidetheboxchallenge #memoryboxchallenge #echoparkpaperstencil #heroartsstamps #christmascard #handmadecards #diecutting #stencilling #cardmakersofinstagram #luciegchristmasinjuly2019

Hello friends from a very wet London (yay)! Today I’m playing along with the @poppystamps monthly challenge where the theme is ‘animal kingdom’. As I’m still in #christmasinjuly mode, I decided to use the whittle Rudolf #poppystamps die. I love the whittle line! So cute and an excellent price point! Have a great weekend! #poppystampsdies #dienamics #clearlybesottedstamps #diecutting #distressink #distressoxide #inkblending #christmascards #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #luciegchristmasinjuly2019

Happy Friyay friends! First my daily weather report! I’m happy to say it’s been much cooler today and we’ve had some decent rain too! Thank goodness! This girl cannot cope with extreme temperatures! Today, for Day 26 of #luciegchristmasinjuly2019 I’m playing along with the #52christmascardthrowdown challenge where the theme is non-traditional image! I thought the festive flamingo set from @mftstamps would fit the bill perfectly! I also used the fun sketch from this week’s @freshlymadesketches challenge! Have a wonderful weekend! #mftstamps #dienamics #echoparkpaper #echoparkpaperstencil #freshlymadesketches #handmadecards #christmasinjuly #christmascards #cardmakersofinstagram
