Grateful butterflies

Hi there!

There’s a fabulous sketch over at the My Favorite Things sketch challenge this week and here is my entry.

I used some gorgeous distress oxide inks together with dies and a stamp from My Favorite Things.

I love those distress oxide inks – they are amazing to work with and blend so nicely! Fabulous!

Thanks for looking!

LucieG.

Hello friends! I’m sorry I haven’t got round to many of you recently, life has been busy and I’m really missing all the creative inspiration but hopefully I’ll have a chance to visit everyone over the next week. I have seen that the @simonsaysstamp challenges this week all have the same theme ‘stencil it’ and here’s my take using a couple of stencils and dies from @simonsaysstamp. #simonsaysstamp #sssflickrchallenge #sssmchallenge #ssswchallenge #distressink #handmadecards

Happy Sunday! It’s time for a new #aaacardchallenge and this fortnight’s theme is ‘inspired by nature’. Cherry blossom season has just finished here - I love those blooms so much, they seem to disappear so quickly! I used the @concordand9th Beautiful Branches stamp set and dies for my card. I hope you can play along too! I’m also entering this into the current #wherecreativitymeetsc9 challenge (florals). #concordand9th #aaacard #aaacards #handmadecards

Happy Friyay everyone! I just saw the palette for the @winnieandwalter colour challenge and decided to play along at the last minute! I used a couple of @winnieandwalter stamp sets and a fabulous heart die - I can’t believe I’ve had it for a few YEARS and haven’t used it 🙄! It’s perfect for inlaid die cutting and shaker cards! #winnieandwalter #winnieandwalterstamps #winnieandwalterdies #winnieandwalterchallenge #distressink #littlethingsfromlucyscards #handmadecards

Hi everyone! I almost ran out of time to play along with the current @ablognamedhero challenge! Here’s my take on the challenge theme (flowers) using a couple of @heroarts sets that I’ve had for a while but haven’t used. So happy that I finally got round to using them! #heroarts #heroartsstamps #distressink #ablognamedhero #handmadecards

Hello! I spent a very happy morning in my craft room, playing with the supplies I put aside yesterday! I decided to play along with the @freshlymadesketches challenge with dies from @poppystamps and @creativeexpressionscraft. I really wanted to add a ‘good luck in your new job’ to this card. I must have hundreds of stamps but how many do you think say ‘good luck’ let alone ‘good luck in your new job’. The answer is very few my friends, very few. I think I have found a gap in the market! We need more good luck stamps! I felt my good luck/new job sentiment was a little too big for the card ➡️ so I replaced it with a @clearlybesotted sentiment that I really like! #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #creativeexpressions #creativeexpressionsdies #distressink #clearlybesotted #clearlybesottedstamps #freshlymadesketches #fms335 #handmadecards

Happy Saturday everyone! I spent part of the day sorting through some supplies and making a BIG pile of ‘must use now’ stamps/dies/stencils in an attempt to kickstart my mojo (and ok I really had to tidy up too 😉). Then I got crafty! I used a new-to-me #sweetpoppy stencil that I had to buy after seeing some lovely cards that @pusscatlizzie_ made with it! I also used a die from the @heroarts March kit - can’t believe it’s taken me so long to crack open the kit! I’m entering this into the current @colorthrowdown challenge (coral, green, kraft and white). #sweetpoppystencils #texturepaste #distressoxide #heroarts #heroartsdies #mymonthlyhero #colorthrowdown #colorthrowdownchallenge #ctd491 #handmadecards

Hello! Why is it that when you’re super busy, you have tons of ideas, but when you finally have time to craft, your mojo disappears? So annoying! This took much longer to create than it should have done... hope my mojo returns soon! The dies I used are by @simonsaysstamp, @savvystamps and @memoryboxco. I used a background I created at the weekend with #distressinks and #colorbursts. I’m entering this into the current #ssswchallenge (animal kingdom). #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #savvystamps #savvystampsdies #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #colorburst #kenolivercolorbursts

Happy Sunday! It’s time for a new #aaacardchallenge and we have a tic-tac-toe grid for you this week! I chose the top row and used a great new-to-me die from #joannasheen. I inlaid some gold glitter card into each of the stars and added an embossed sentiment from @mftstamps. Hope you can play along too! #joannasheendies #mftstamps #inlaiddiecutting #handmadecards #aaacard #aaacards

Hi everyone! Life has been busy lately and I haven’t had much time for crafting, or even instagram 😕. But I was able to spend the whole afternoon in my craft room today and it felt sooo good! 😊 Here’s one of the cards I made - using the sketch from this week’s @freshlymadesketches challenge, a die from @poppystamps, and watercolour powders from @kenolivercrafts and @creativeexpressionscraft. Isn’t that gold #cosmicshimmer fabulous? I’m also entering this into the current #sssmchallenge - flower power. Right! Time for me to catch up on all the inspiration I’ve missed here on instagram now! #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #freshlymadesketches #simonsaysstamp #colorburst #kenolivercrafts #kenolivercolorburst

Happy happy birthday to my lovely mum who is celebrating a big birthday today! 🎂🥂🎉🎁 I always make a couple of cards for my mum and try to do something different for one of them. This year I decided to try an ‘impossible card’- a pop up made from one piece of cardstock simply cut in three places. It’s actually incredibly easy! I found a great video from @mixedupcraft (thanks Sam) - she explained it so well that I made this at my first attempt. It took me longer to colour the wreath than it did to make the base card! I used one of my mum’s favourite wreath dies from @memoryboxco and coloured it with my #twinklingh2o paints. I’m entering this into the current #memoryboxchallenge (flowers), the #sssmchallenge (flower power) and the #ssswchallenge (anything goes). #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #simonsaysstamp #impossiblecards #handmadecards

Hi again everyone! I’ve had a crazy busy week with no time to get into my craft room, not even when my order from @simonsaysstamp turned up! 😐 I finally had a bit of time this evening and here’s what I came up with the new flickering butterflies die! The stamped sentiment is from @reverseconfetti. I’m entering this into the current #sssflickrchallenge (anything goes). #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #sssflutteringby #reverseconfetti #distressink #handmadecards

Hi everyone! I loved a card the talented @debbyhughes created a few months ago with a stencil, #distressink and @tonicstudios glimmer paste and here’s my take on it! I used a @echoparkpaper stencil and dies from @poppystamps and @winnieandwalter. I’m entering this into the current #ssswchallenge (sparkle and shine). #nuvoglimmerpaste #tonicstudios #echoparkpaperco #cartabellapaper #cartabellastencil #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #winnieandwalter #winnieandwalterdies #simonsaysstamp #handmadecards

Hi! It’s time for a new #aaacardchallenge and this fortnight’s theme is ‘perfect day’. I found this very difficult, but in the end I chose a wedding card- after all, everyone wants a bride and groom to have their perfect wedding day, don’t they?! I used a stamp from @magentastyle which I coloured with my #twinklingh2o paints. To add a bit of interest to the base card, I used an @averyellestamps die and inlaid some glitter card. Full details are on my blog. Hope you can play along the us! #magentastamps #averyelle #averyelledies #weddingcard #handmadecards #aaacard #aaacards

I’m playing along with @colorthrowdown challenge - another fabulous combo this week (yellow, green, aqua and white). I used dies from @poppystamps and a @clearlybesotted sentiment and also did some controlled ink smooshing on the card base.... which warped dreadfully 😱. I was using some new card, so frustrating but hopefully it will be better after a day or two under some books 🤞🏻. #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #clearlybesotted #clearlybesottedstamps #colorthrowdown #colorthrowdownchallenge #ctd488 #distressink #distressoxide #handmadecards

Hi everyone! I’ve been practicing with my #prismacolorpencils today! Really love them.... it may be time to invest in a bigger set soon! I used the beautiful tulip heart stamp from the Easter @simonsaysstamp set. Yep, I bought the whole set for just one stamp... not the first time... and please tell me I’m not alone in doing that 😉 I wanted to play along with the current @freshlymadesketches challenge so used that sketch with a sentiment from an older SSS set and some new to me paper from @tonicstudios. Oh my! It’s gorgeous and cuts so well with a craft knife! I’m very impressed with it! I’m also entering this into the new #sssflickrchallenge - anything goes. #simonsaysstamp #tonicstudios #tonicstudioshandmadepaper #freshlymadesketches #freshlymadesketcheschallenge #handmadecards
