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! Day 3 of #thedailymarker30day hosted by @kathyrac and I’ve been playing with my VERY underused zigs! I used the colour palette from this week’s @colorthrowdown challenge (orange, yellow, hot pink and green) plus a sketch from #trystampinontuesday challenge. I used one of my MANY @heroarts wood mounted stamps. This one is from 2005! Have a good week! #heroarts #heroartsstamps #mamaelephantstamps #zigcolorcleanrealbrush #colorthrowdown #ctd547 #sketchchallenge #handmadecard #cardmakersofinstagram #luciegwoodstampchallenge2019

Happy Father’s Day to my dear Dad! My dad will be getting very minimalist CAS card as he prefers those, but I also wanted to colour a wood stamp image that I purchased for masculine cards many many years ago! I used the fun sketch from the current #cascoloursandsketches challenge and a sentiment from @heroarts. This is my Day 2 colouring for #thedailymarker30day hosted by @kathyrac . #stampitaustralia #heroarts #heroartsstamps #chatterboxpaperco #twinklingh2o #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #luciegwoodstampchallenge2019

Hello Friends! Happy Saturday! I’m excited that today marks the first day of another #thedailymarker30day challenge hosted by @kathyrac My mojo has been AWOL recently, so I’m hoping this challenge give me the inspiration I need. I love playing along and I’m hoping to colour something every day during this challenge. Let’s see how that goes! Last time, I set myself my own sub-challenge – to only use wood-mounted rubber stamps for my colouring! I recently went through my old cards and @heroarts stamps for the Hero Arts’ 45th anniversary Show & Tell. It made me want to reach for my wood-mounted stamps again. So, I’m aiming to use them most days during this challenge, but in the second half, I plan to focus on Christmas in July and will be using Christmas stamps. Pretty excited about that actually! I’m ready to play with my festive stamps again! So with that in mind, here is my card/colouring for Day 1 using a fabulous background stamp by @heroarts, made in 2007. How can that be 12 years ago? I’m entering this into the current @freshlymadesketches challenge. #heroarts #heroartsstamps #clearlybesottedstamps #chatterboxpaperco #freshlymadesketches #twinklingh2o #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #luciegwoodstampchallenge2019

Hello friends! It’s been a while since I shared a card as my mojo disappeared along with our summer weather! Luckily, when I saw the colour combo for the latest #thepaperplayers challenge (purple, yellow and green), inspiration struck, FINALLY! I used a die and stamp from @memoryboxco and an embossing folder from @teamspellbinders. And look! I used a button too! I actually wanted to play along with the @memoryboxco challenge which has the theme of buttons, so when I saw the centres of the flowers, I thought a few buttons would tie in quite nicely. I seriously spent longer on button choice and positioning than I did on anything else 🤷🏻‍♀️and then ended up just using one 🤦🏻‍♀️ Have a good weekend all! #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #memorybox #memoryboxchallenge #outsidetheboxchallenge #diecutting #twinklingh2o #spellbinders #spellbindersembossingfolder #flowercard #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello friends! My mojo has been somewhat lacking of late but I really wanted to play along with one of my favourite challenges, the @colorthrowdown challenge. This week's palette is navy, coral, teal and cream, but I didn’t have much time to create, so I turned to my trusty dies! I chose the @birchpressdesign Flutter Plate Layer set that I purchased a few years ago - I really need to use it more often! Have a good week! #colorthrowdown #ctd546 #birchpressdesigns #birchpressdesigndies #butterflycard #layeringdies #diecutting #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

It’s been an odd week or so, blighted by migraines and loss of mojo! So here’s the card I created for @aaacardchallenge’s 5th birthday challenge. I used @kenolivercrafts Color bursts and some #cosmicshimmer powder too! The die is an oldie and goodie by @simonsaysstamp. #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #aaacardchallenge #kenolivercolorburst #birthdaycards #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #sssflickrchallenge

Hi everyone! Not much crafting time this weekend 😔 but I did just manage this entry for the current @freshlymadesketches challenge. I finally used the beautiful Rad Roses die from @papersmooches. I love these Deco/Rennie Mackintosh roses so much! And because I also love the current @colorthrowdown Challenge combo (raspberry, lavender, green and kraft), I’ve used it again this week! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday! #papersmooches #papersmoochesdies #basicgreypaper #distressink #diecutting #inlaiddiecutting #colorthrowdown #ctd545 #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Belated happy Friyay friends! Today I used my brand new dies from @paulabmpascual ‘s new range, Bright Rosa. I love how big the main image is and the intricate die cut beautifully in my Gemini Junior! Once I’d created the butterfly wings from blended ink, I added the image to a kraft base that I had embossed with a Gemini embossing folder. The sentiment is from @tonicstudios. I used the gorgeous colour combo from this week’s @colorthrowdown challenge- raspberry, lavender, green and kraft. Have a great weekend! #brightrosadies #mybrightrosa #brightrosa #geminiembossingfolder #tonicstudios #tonicstudiosdies #inkblending #distressink #colorthrowdown #ctd545 #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy 45th anniversary @heroarts! Here’s some of my oldest Hero Arts stamps. See that scribbly Christmas tree in the middle? I’m pretty sure that was my first Hero Arts stamp. The date on it says 2000 but I didn’t find out about this world until June 2004.... and my life changed! 😀 Pretty sure I got that tree for my 2004 Christmas cards. Speaking of my cards way back then, if you saw my last post, I just gathered ALL my cards in one place as part of my Marie Kondo journey! Some of my cards were very ... ‘different’ then but every now and then, there were flashes of my preferred CAS style! So I’ve taken a leap and I’m also sharing a few of my oldest cards made with some of these stamps ➡️ Thank you @heroarts for being such a worthy and valued leader in this industry. Here’s to the next 45 🥂 #heroarts #heroartsstamps #herocelebrates45 #iloveheroarts #earlycardmaking #woodstamps #woodstampsarethebest

Hello everyone! I’ve been following Marie Kondo’s tidying method for a while now and it’s been working well for me, but I confess I am feeling a little overwhelmed as I’ve just gathered all my handmade cards in one spot 😱. Oh my goodness! I know I’ve made/sent a lot over the years, but I had no idea that I still had quite so many!!! It’s probably been the most surprising part of my konmari journey so far. Except maybe the stationery, which is a whole other story! Anyway, seeing all those cards together kind of threw me and it’s taken me a while to make this card that I actually planned out at the weekend. I’ve used the sketch from the current #thepaperplayers challenge, stamps from @altenewllc and an embossing folder from @johnnxtdoor #altenewllc #altenewstamps #altenewdies #johnnextdoor #embossingfolder #dryembossing #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello friends! Today I’m playing with the colour combo from the current #cascoloursandsketches challenge - orange, yellow and a minty green. I used two of my newest crafty purchases- the Gerbera Daisy background from @simonsaysstamp and the wood frames from @heroarts. I coloured the image with my #twinklingh2o paints - it’s sooo shimmery! The sentiment die is by @mamaelephant . I’m also entering this into the current #sssflickrchallenge - anything goes! Enjoy the rest of your day! #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #heroarts #heroartsdies #mamaelephant #mamaelephantdies #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello friends! I’m playing along with the current @freshlymadesketches challenge today. I used a @simonsaysstamp leaf die which I turned to the side, leaving a nice bit of space at the base of the circle- perfect for the sentiment strip! The sentiment is by @mftstamps and the little butterflies are from @pennyblackstamps. I’m also entering this into the current #sssflickrchallenge - anything goes. #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #mftstamps #pennyblackinc #pennyblackdies #distressink #inkblending #diecutting #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello friends! I’ve had a lovely crafty day! So much fun! I finally used the amazing Peppermint Zone background die from @winnieandwalter. Isn’t it a fabulous design? I didn’t want to cover the die so I just added a simple sentiment, also by @winnieandwalter and a few stars. I’m entering this into the current @colorthrowdown challenge - the palette is navy, aqua and coral. #winnieandwalter #winnieandwalterdies #distressoxide #colorthrowdown #ctd544 #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #diecutting

Happy Friyay friends! It’s been a busy but productive week and I’m looking forward to a long weekend crafting! What are you up to? I received a small @simonsaysstamp order yesterday which included the fabulous tulip die which I’d liked since last #diecember and finally bought last week! I’m entering this into the current @the_flower_challenge (embossing) and the #sssflickrchallenge (anything goes). Have a wonderful weekend! #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #theflowerchallenge #distressink #distressinkblending #inlaiddiecutting #dryembossing #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards

Hello! I’ve been spending a lot of time working in my garden recently. I don’t know what happened this spring but all my shrubs have grown like crazy and well let’s just say parts resembled a jungle rather than a suburban garden! Anyway when I saw that the current #paperplayerschallenge had a theme of CAS/plant, I just had to play along! I used an old, loved, but sadly little-used stamp set from @altenewllc for my take. The sentiment is by @clearlybesotted. #altenew #altenewstamps #altenewllc #altenewgardengrow #clearlybesotted #clearlybesottedstamps #thepaperplayers #handmadecards #twinklingh2o #cardmakersofinstagram
