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 Saturday! I’m feeling quite chuffed that my Christmas cards are all written/sent, but that doesn’t mean I’m ready to put my festive supplies away just yet! Here’s my card for the current @freshlymadesketches challenge. I used a fabulous 3D embossing folder from @crafterscompuk - love how it embosses snowflakes with different depths! So clever. I added a large glittery snowflake by @simonsaysstamp and a few nuvo glitter drops. The sentiment is by @clearlybesotted. I’m also entering this into the current #sssflickrchallenge where the theme is die cutting. Enjoy the rest of theweekend everyone! #crafterscompanion #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #clearlybesotted #freshlymadesketches #handmadecards #christmascard #cardmakersofinstagram #luciegembossinggoal

Hello everyone! This week’s @colorthrowdown challenge colour palette is classically festive- red, green, kraft and white. Here’s my take using a @simplygraphic tree die and a sentiment die from @savvystamps. It’s almost the weekend, everyone!!! #colorthrowdown #ctd523 #simplygraphic #simplygraphicdies #savvystamps #savvystampsdies #christmascard #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Monday everyone! I finally caved and bought those cute frosty friends snowmen from @mftstamps! They’re so sweet, aren’t they! I used one for my entry into the @freshlymadesketches challenge. I created the background with #distressink, #cosmicshimmerlunapaste and a stencil by @tim_holtz. Have a great week everyone! #mftstamps #timholtzstencils #handmadecards #christmascard #cardmakersofinstagram #theclockstrikestwelve2018 #freshlymadesketches

Hello everyone! Just wanted to share my entry into this week’s @freshlymadesketches challenge using a sweet new stamp by @newtonsnook and some paper by @official_basicgrey. Oh, I miss basic grey paper... but I do have a mini mountain of their old collections in my craftroom 😉 #newtonsnookdesigns #newtonsnook #newtonsnookstamps #basicgreypaper #handmadecards #christmascard #cardmakersofinstagram #freshlymadesketches

Happy Sunday! I’m playing along with this week’s @colorthrowdown which has a gorgeous palette this week - silver, grey, black and white. I decided to take a break from Christmas cards and use my new @altenewllc stencil to create today’s card. Ever since my Nuvo mousses dried up, I’ve been looking for new shimmery paste and I LOVE the #cosmicshimmerlunapaste! Super shimmery! The sentiment is also by @altenewllc #altenew #altenewllc #altenewstamps #altenewstencil #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy 1 Diecember friends! I’m very happy today as my Thanksgiving Day order from @simonsaysstamp arrived this morning! How fast is that! I started playing straightaway and first up was the gorgeous Alicia snowflake ❄️ which I paired with a word die and stamp also from @simonsaysstamp. I’m entering this into the current #sssflickrchallenge (Christmas) and the #ssswchallenge (anything goes). #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #diecutting #christmascard #cardmakersofinstagram

Well I did it! 25 tags for each of the #25daysoftags2018 PLUS today’s bonus tag!!! Many thanks to @traceymcneely and the fabulous designers for all the inspiration and words of encouragement! I love this challenge! Roll on 2019.... but maybe not too quickly!!! I also did a bit of colouring on some of these tags, my Day 26 colouring for #thedailymarker30day hosted by @kathyrac I’ve tagged the designers who provided the inspiration for each tag. Full details are on my blog and for this set of tags, I used stamps and dies by @lawnfawn @prettypinkposh @lilinkerdesigns @heroarts @simonsaysstamp and @sizzix

Hello! I’m still playing along with the #25daysoftags2018 challenge hosted by @traceymcneely. Here are my tags for Days 16 to 20. I used stamps and dies by @ellenhutsonllc @averyellestamps @neatandtangled @heroarts and @casfridays Full details are on my blog and I’ve tagged the designers who provided the inspiration for this set of tags. I coloured the mistletoe using my #twinklingh20s and so that’s my colouring for Day 24 of #thedailymarker30day challenge hosted by @kathyrac

Happy Thanksgiving to my lovely American friends! I hope you are having a wonderful day! I thought I should share a Thanksgiving card today - it’s my Day 22 colouring for #thedailymarker30day hosted by @kathyrac. The frame die is by @simonsaysstamp and the stamps are by @hamptonart and @heroarts. #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #hamptonart #hamptonartstamps #heroarts #heroartsstamps #distressink #thanksgivingcard #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello everyone! I’m on a tag-making roll right now and here are the tags I created for Days 11 to 15 of the #25daysoftags2018 hosted by @traceymcneely. I tried to use sponsor products wherever possible and ended up using stamps and dies by @winnieandwalter @prettypinkposh @techniquetuesday @simonsaysstamp @ginakdesigns and @stampersanonymous Full details are on my blog and I’ve tagged the designers who provided the inspiration for this set of tags. A bit of colouring on a couple of these tags - my colouring for Day 22 of @kathyrac’s #thedailymarker30day challenge.

Hello from a cold and wet London! Here are the tags I created for Days 6 to 10 of @traceymcneely’s #25daysoftags2018. I tried to use sponsor products again, but I did have to substitute quite a few this time- I ended up using stamps and dies by @newtonsnook @poppystamps @simonsaysstamp @heroarts @studiokatia and @mamaelephant Full details are on my blog and I’ve tagged the designers who provided the inspiration for this set of tags. I’m counting my #newtonsnook tag as my colouring for Day 21 of @kathyrac’s #thedailymarker30day challenge!

Hello friends! There seem to be so many gorgeous ornament stamp sets/dies this year, don’t you think? When I was in school, I would never have given a (shop-bought) bauble card to friends (too ‘boring’).... but nowadays friends, well, there is a very high likelihood that you will be getting a bauble card from me this year as those stamps and dies keep on landing in my shopping basket 🤦🏻‍♀️ I just HAD to have the new retro ornament dies from @simplygraphic as soon as I saw them. I’ve used them for my entry into the current @colorthrowdown challenge (red, aqua, silver) and the @freshlymadesketches challenge. The sentiment die is from @simonsaysstamp and I created my background with a new favourite find - #cosmicshimmerlunapaste - just look at that sparkle! #simplygraphic #simplygraphicdies #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #colorthrowdown #ctd519 #freshlymadesketches #handmadecards #christmascard #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello! Last year, I played along with @traceymcneely ‘s Christmas tag challenge and it made a HUGE difference to my Christmas preparations (and stress levels) so I’m playing along again this year! Today was the first day that I was actually able to create a few tags for the #25daysoftags2018. I tried to use sponsor products as far as possible and ended up using @simonsaysstamp @altenewllc @concordand9th @reverseconfetti and @newtonsnook 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 #prismacolorpencils so that’s my colouring for Day 17 of @kathyrac’s #thedailymarker30day

Hello everyone! Only a tiny bit of colouring for Day 13 of #thedailymarker30day hosted by @kathyrac! I coloured a @simonsaysstamp ornament with my #prismacolorpencils and then embossed it with my new @wowembossing platinum sparkle embossing powder! And it is super sparkly! Love it! Anyway I fussy cut the ornament and added a bow, some sequins and a glittery @simonsaysstamp die cut to finish off my card! I’m entering this into the current #casethissketch challenge and also the #sssflickrchallenge (‘colour it!’). #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hi everyone! When I saw the colour palette this week’s @colorthrowdown (slate blue, orange, brown and white) I just knew I had to do an ink blended panel in stormy sky #distressink and built my card around that!!! I used a @pennyblackstamps tree coloured with my beloved #twinklingh20s and added a sentiment from @heroarts. This is also my Day 12 colouring for #thedailymarker30day hosted by the talented @kathyrac! #colorthrowdown #ctd518 #pennyblackstamps #pennyblackinc #heroarts #heroartsstamps #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram
