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!

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
