How does your garden grow?

Hi There!

The theme for this week’s Casology challenge is ‘grow’ and I immediately thought of this older silhouette stamp from Hero Arts! I paired it with an Essentials by Ellen sentiment and mounted it on panel which I embossed using a fabulous new folder from Spellbinders.

I’m also entering this into the current Blog Named Hero challenge (anything goes).

Thanks for stopping by!

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

Hello friends! Happy Saturday! I had a lovely time in my craft room this morning, getting inky and creating lots of background panels. I spent a little too long trying to create a panel to use for this week’s @colorthrowdown challenge. I just couldn’t get a decent lavender colour! Anyway, I got there eventually and cut my panel with the gorgeous @lilinkerdesigns butterfly cover die. The sentiment is also by Lil Inker Designs. #lilinkerdesigns #lilinkerdesignsdies #colorthrowdown #ctd565 #diecutting #inlaiddiecutting #inkblending #distressoxide #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Friyay! This week, I was totally inspired by the amazing photo that was the inspiration for the #inkspirationalchallenge ➡️ but then life got in the way, I didn’t get a chance to craft and I ended up rushing to create my card this evening to hit the challenge deadline.... it didn’t turn out as I planned... right now, I don’t feel I did that beautiful picture justice 😔 ...maybe I’ll feel differently in the morning.. . . I used dies by @simonsaysstamp and @poppystamps, a stamp from @heroarts and lots of #distressink ! Have a great weekend! #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #heroarts #heroartsdies #inlaiddiecutting #autumncard #diecutting #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello friends! I’ve been playing with my favourite @heroarts #mymonthlyhero kit again! I just love all branches and vases in the September 2018 kit and I’m still so pleased that I was able to get hold of it! I coloured it using my beloved #twinklingh2o paints - just look at that shimmer! Have a great day! #heroarts #heroartsstamps #heroartsmonthlykit #mamaelephant #cuttlebug #cuttlebugembossing #dryembossing #handmadecard #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello from a very autumnal London 🍂 Here’s my entry for the @memoryboxco challenge where the theme is falling leaves. So I coloured a lovely older Memory Box leaf die using the colour combo from this week’s @colorthrowdown challenge (red, yellow and brown). I cut up the wreath so that I didn’t hide any leaves under the sentiment.... must remember that trick! Have a great week! #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #danielsmithwatercolors #diecutting #outsidetheboxchallenge #mbchallenge54 #colorthrowdown #ctd564

Happy Sunday! I’ve been itching to have a go at the faux metal etching technique that @jennifermcguireink demonstrated a few weeks ago! It’s great fun but soooo difficult to photograph! For my card, I used the sketch from #inspirecreatechallenges and stamps and dies from @simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #heatembossing #diecutting #autumncard #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #simonsaysstampmondaychallenge

Happy Saturday friends! Did you see the amazing retro My Monthly Hero kit? I love it and it got me thinking of some old #quickutz retro dies I got in Archivers almost a decade ago.... After a bit of a search, I found them in my craft room and used them with a few #distressoxide backgrounds. I even managed to find an old @heroarts stamp with a similar font! It’s always fun to use old supplies isn’t it?! #quickutzdies #archivers #heroartsstamps #christmascards #cardmakersofinstagram #diecutting

Hello friends! I’ve been looking for some quirky tree dies for quite a while and as soon as I saw the trees in the @mariannedesign_ October release, I HAD to snap them up! Aren’t they fun! And what’s more, this isn’t all the trees in the set!! Be warned friends, there is a high probability that the Christmas card I send you will have a few of these trees 😄 #mariannedesign #mariannedesigndies #sugarpeadesigns #distressoxide #distressoxidespray #christmascards #diecutting #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #cascoloursandsketches

Happy Sunday friends! I had thought of quite a few cards to make yesterday and then I was only able to make one.... but today is a new day and here’s what I made this morning! It’s my take on the current @freshlymadesketches challenge using a doctored @poppystamps frame die and cute little ghosts from @memoryboxco. The sentiment is by @mftstamps and the background folder is from @creativeexpressionscraft . Enjoy the rest of the weekend! #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #mftstamps #creativeexpressions #creativeexpressionsembossingfolders #embossingfolder #dryembossing #diecutting #freshlymadesketches #halloweencards #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy world cardmaking day dear friends! I’ve been battling a hideous migraine since Friday morning and really thought I wouldn’t be able to make a card today. 😔 luckily I started to feel better mid afternoon and made this card using the fabulous cosmos stem die from @simonsaysstamp and an embossing folder from @tayloredexpressions . I used the @colorthrowdown colour palette for this week (lavender, purple, orange and green) although that lavender looks more blue in these photos.... Enjoy the rest of the day! #ctd563 #colorthrowdown #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #twinklingh2o #tayloredexpressions #tayloredexpressionsembossingfolder #embossingfolder #dryembossing #diecutting #wcmd2019 #worldcardmakingday #worldcardmakingday2019 #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello friends! I almost bought some more embellishment mousse this weekend as I found a good deal. But before I hit that ‘buy’ button, I remembered my @creativeexpressionscraft #cosmicshimmerlunapaste that I got maybe a year ago so I thought I’d give them another try! So glad I did! They were still in perfect condition and just look at the shimmer! I applied various colours to card and left to dry overnight before cutting with some @paulabmpascual / @craftstashcouk Bright Rosa dies. I’m entering this into the current #cascoloursandsketches sketch challenge. #mybrightrosa #brightrosadies #sugarpeadesigns #cosmicshimmer #diecutting #butterflies #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Sunday! Isn’t the latest @mamaelephant release amazing? I fell in love with the Posy and Pine stamp set and snapped it up straight away! I decided use the gorgeous combo from this week’s @colorthrowdown challenge- cobalt blue, aqua, grey and black After colouring I added a couple of Mama Elephant sentiment and few sequins to finish off my card. #mamaelephant #mamaelephantdies #mamaelephantstamps #mamaelephantpineandposy #colorthrowdown #ctd562 #twinklingh2o #handmadecards #christmascards
