You are amazing

Hi everyone!

Today’s card is my entry for this week’s Case This Sketch challenge.

I finally placed an order from The Ton Stamps after coveting their stamps for AGES and used them on this card, together with a Taylored Expressions embossing folder and a bit of bling!

Thanks for looking!

LucieG.

Hello friends! I’m playing along with the current @freshlymadesketches challenge and here’s my take on the sketch! I used a @reverseconfetti die to create a stencil for the background and then die cut some @iostamps butterfly dies from a panel I created some time ago using #distressoxide inks. The sentiment is by @clearlybesotted. I’m also entering this into the current @timeoutchallenges where the theme is ‘birthday wishes’. #reverseconfetti #reverseconfettidies #impressionobsession #impressionobsessiondies #freshlymadesketches #timeoutchallenges #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Saturday! I finally got to play with some of the goodies I bought at Simon Says Create! I love @poppystamps whittle die range and snapped up a few dies from the new Spring/Easter range, including this little rabbit! I paired it with the new @simonsaysstamp tulip collage die and was going to add a ‘happy spring’ die that I was convinced I had, but I couldn’t find anywhere! Very strange! I’m entering this into the current @colorthrowdown challenge (red, yellow, light green and white), the #ssswchallenge (cute) and the #sssflickrchallenge (spring). Enjoy the rest of the weekend! #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #colorthrowdown #ctd535 #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #distressoxide #twinklingh2os #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #cascard

Crazy week and now it’s the weekend I finally have time to share a bit about my trip to New York and Columbus for #simonsayscreate. In NY I went to @theinkpadnyc and bought more #twinklingh2os for the first time in maybe a decade! Loved that little shop! Then onto Columbus- I’d been worried about driving in snow and ice but it was 20 Celsius when I arrived (that didn’t last!!) It was my third Create and it’s changed a lot since 2015 - the Make & Take area was HUGE this year. It was lovely to catch up with crafty friends and chat with a few friendly vendors! A couple of the classes were totally outside my comfort zone, but it was fun to try new techniques that I wouldn’t usually try! My favourite class was my last one - @ginakdesigns was amazing, a brilliant teacher who shared some great tips! I had to go and buy a wreath builder straight after! (My @dinawakley paint pouring projects all stuck together in my suitcase, so look very ‘distressed‘ now.... not that they were IG worthy in the first place anyway!) I didn’t do many make and takes but I’m so glad I was able to try the @picketfencestudios life changing brushes and do the @memoryboxco and @heroarts make and takes. Many thanks to the cheery, helpful @simonsaysstamp team for a great event! I know how much planning goes into just one event - and this was really three events rolled into one but everything seemed to run so smoothly! On the way home I managed to pop to downtown Chicago to fulfil a long-held goal - to see the river dyed green! A great way to finish off the week! I was so exhausted I even fell asleep before my plane home took off!!! #simonsayscreate2019 #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #simonsaysstamp

Good morning friends! Here’s a quick card I made using a @simonsaysstamp background stamp and some @kenolivercrafts colour bursts plus a splash of #nuvoshimmerpowder for added sparkle! The sentiment is also by @simonsaysstamp We’re edging closer to the weekend people! Have a good day! ETA I’m also entering this into the current #sssflickrchallenge - although i haven’t used spring colours, as Barb says, everyone celebrates the start of spring ☺️ #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #heatembossing #kenolivercolorburst #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Birthday to my dear dad! Here’s the card I made him using a couple of older wood mounted stamps from @heroarts. My dad loves very CAS cards, but I just had to add a few tiny embellishments! The sentiment is by @paperartsy #heroarts #heroartsstamps #paperartsy #twinklingh2o #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecard #cascard

Happy Saturday friends! So I had only intended to buy a background die and stamp from the new @heroarts release until I saw a beautiful cards that @janettekausen made with the new agapanthus set... I knew I had to have it too! So glad I snapped it up, it is gorgeous and so versatile! #heroarts #heroartsstamps #distressoxide #stickles #handmadecard #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello everyone! I’m trying to rebuild my birthday card pile - lots of birthdays in March! For these cards, I used a beautiful @pinkfreshstudio die to cut a #distressoxide panel! The sentiment is by @simonsaysstamp #pinkfreshstudio #simonsaysstamp #pinkfreshstudiodies #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Tuesday! Today I’m playing along with the current @memoryboxco challenge - flower power! I used one of my older Memory Box dies that I coloured with #distressink. The sentiment is by @clearlybesotted. #memorybox #memoryboxdies #clearlybesottedstamps #memoryboxchallenge #memoryboxco #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Monday all! I’ve been playing with another new @heroarts purchase today - the fabulous flower background die! I coloured it with my @altenewllc watercolours and added a few nuvo drops for the flower centres! The sentiment die is by @waffleflowercrafts. I’m entering this into the current #sssmondaychallenge (feminine/girly) and the @the_flower_challenge (anything goes). #heroarts #heroartsdies #waffleflowercrafts #waffleflowerdies #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #theflowerchallenge

Hello friends! There’s a beautiful colour combo challenge at the #cascoloursandsketches challenge this week- lavender, pool and blackberry. I created a blended background with a couple of @altenewllc inks and then cut it with one of my favourite frame dies from @simonsaysstamp. The sentiment is in blackberry cardstock, although it looks so much darker in my photos! I’m also entering this into the current #sssflickrchallenge where the theme is ‘friends’. #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #altenewinks #karenburnistondies #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello friends! There’s a definite feeling of spring in the air today so I thought it was quite appropriate to pull out my @prettypinkposh cherry blossom stamps for my take on this week’s @freshlymadesketches challenge. I paired them with a piece of @official_basicgrey paper and a @simonsaysstamp sentiment. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! #prettypinkposh #prettypinkposhstamps #simonsaysstamp #basicgrey #twinklingh2o #prismacolorpencils #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #freshlymadesketches

Hello friends and happy Friyay! After a somewhat frustrating week, I am sooooo glad it’s the weekend! I just treated myself to a few bits from the new @heroarts catalogue and I couldn’t wait to colour this beautiful background stamp! I used the colour palette from this week’s @colorthrowdown challenge (grey, purple, lavender and kraft). The sentiment is from @ #mymonthlyhero kit. #heroarts #heroartsstamps #heroartsdies #colorthrowdown #ctd533 #twinklingh2o #heatembossing #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello! After concentrating on stamping/colouring for the last month, it feels so good to pull out my other supplies! This is the card I made for a #cascoloursandsketches challenge using a stencil from @tim_holtz / @stampersanonymous and a @simonsaysstamp die. I’m also entering this into the current #justusgirlschallenge where the theme is ‘birthday’. #timholtzstencils #distressink #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #stencilling #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello everyone! As soon as I saw the amazing sketch over at the @freshlymadesketches challenge, I knew it would be perfect for my first foray back to my beloved dies! I used @official_basicgrey papers and @simplygraphic dies together with a vase die and sentiment from @mftstamps. Have a great week, all! #freshlymadesketches #simplygraphic #simplygraphicdies #mftstamps #dienamics #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram
