Destination Vacation!

Happy Saturday!

The theme over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge is ‘let’s take a vacation’ and here is my entry!

I used some older wording stamps from Hampton Art together with an image from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous that I got when I was in the US a couple of months ago.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello! I can’t believe that this is my 1000th post on Instagram! I’m so happy that I stumbled upon this kind, talented and supportive community four years ago! I’ve made some fabulous friends and am continually amazed by all the inspiration! Thank you dear friends 💕 Today’s card has some of my favourite techniques - die cutting and dry embossing! It’s my take on this week’s #casethissketch challenge! I used dies from @poppystamps and @mftstamps a @tayloredexpressions embossing folder and a @mamaelephant sentiment. #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #dienamics #tayloredexpressions #distressinks #diecutting #dryembossing #embossingfolder #penguins #whittlepenguins #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #casethissketchchallenge #christmascards

Hello everyone! After a warm weekend, it’s feeling autumnal here in London today. I’m playing along with the current #cascoloursandsketches sketch challenge and created this little scene with an older die from @poppystamps and a sentiment from the @heroarts September 2018 kit. Have a greet week! #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #mymonthlyhero #danielsmithwatercolor #distressink #heatembossing #diecutting #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Sunday friends! I’ve had this beautiful stamp set from @thetonstamps for a few months now but really wanted to enjoy the process of colouring it if you know what I mean. Well today was the day! I used the palette from this week’s @colorthrowdown challenge (red, yellow, brown and green). When I finished I felt that the yellow wasn’t obvious so I smooshed some yellow ink on the background... you can definitely see the yellow now 😄 Have a good evening! #thetonstamps #danielsmithwatercolor #inksmooshing #distressink #colorthrowdown #ctd560 #diecutting #watercolouring #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Saturday! I haven’t been able to craft all week but I was able to spend the day in the craft room today! Yay! Here’s my take on this week’s @freshlymadesketches challenge! I used dies from @paulabmpascual and @mftstamps, a @simonsaysstamp stencil and a @pennyblackstamps sentiment. #mybrightrosa #dienamics #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampstencils #pennyblackstamps #distressinks #diecutting #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #freshlymadesketches #christmascards

Hello! It’s great to be back at my craft table after some time away! Here’s my take on this week’s @freshlymadesketches challenge! I used dies from @memoryboxco and @simplygraphic and a super sentiment stamp from @waffleflowercrafts for my take! #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #simplygraphicdies #waffleflower #waffleflowercrafts #diecutting #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #freshlymadesketches

Hello friends! I’m back after a wonderful holiday! Feels like I’ve been away for a month rather than a week, always a sign of a good break I think. I tried to avoid the news and barely looked at IG! But I have a lot to catch up on now. So much Stamptember inspiration! For my first card back, I’m playing along with @colorthrowdown challenge where the palette is navy, mustard, coral and cream. I used my brand new dies from @the_greetery . So much fun to play with! The sentiment is by @simonsaysstamp Have a lovely week, all! #thegreetery #thegreeterydies #botanicuts #sunflowers #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #distressoxide #embossingfolder #dryembossing #diecutting #colorthrowdown #ctd559 #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Saturday friends! Here’s the card that I made for my last spot as the August GD for the @colorthrowdown challenge. I love this challenge so much and have really enjoyed the past month! Thanks to the lovely DT for being so welcoming 💕 This week’s amazing combo is orange, pink, yellow and green! And here’s what I came up with - I finally embossed this morning glory border stamp from @thetonstamps and then coloured it with my @altenewllc watercolours. The sentiment is by @averyellestamps Hope you can play along with us this week! #ctd558 #thetonstamps #heatembossing #altenewllc #altenewwatercolors #averyelle #averyelledies #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #colorthrowdown #colorthrowdownchallenge

Greetings from a ridiculously hot London! I’m feeling very frazzled but just wanted to share my support for @biiirka’s #isupportdesignnotcrime initiative. I’m proud to support the amazing designers, manufacturers and retailers in this industry- and for today’s card I ended up using products from 3 UK-based designers, @paulabmpascual @julie8hickey and @clearlybesotted #brightrosa #brightrosadies #mybrightrosa #juliehickeydesigns #juliehickeystamps #clearlybesotted #clearlybesottedstamps #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #cascoloursandsketches #weloveyourdesigns

Happy Saturday friends! When I saw the sketch for this week’s @freshlymadesketches challenge I thought one of my sentiments die would be perfect... until I realised that I’d used it for the very same sketch when it was shared for their 300th challenge 🙄 (swipe to see what I made then!) So instead I did some controlled #inksmooshing and used my brand new @memoryboxco die, which I had been coveting for quite a while! Enjoy the rest of the weekend! #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #memoryboxstamps #distressoxide #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #diecutting #inlaiddiecutting #freshlymadesketches

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

Hello friends! Here’s another card I made yesterday! This one is for the current @freshlymadesketches challenge. I used an older @poppystamps tree die and a couple of stamps from @clearlybesotted Have a good week! #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #clearlybesotted #clearlybesottedstamps #inkblending #distressink #distressinkblending #diecutting #handmadecards #christmascard #christmascards

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
