Hello There

Hi there

Just popping in quickly to share the card I made for this week’s Case This Sketch challenge.

I coloured a Penny Black image with my Twinkling H2Os and then added a sentiment by Sizzix/Karen Burniston.

Thanks for stopping by!

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

Hi everyone! I had a little play with my background stamps this weekend and turned this one into another birthday card for my depleted stock! The stamp and dies are from @simonsaysstamp and I used watered #distressmarker to colour the background. I originally started to add colour by smooshing the ink, but wanted a bit more control.... so used a brush.. and a finger 😂 #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #handmadecards

Hi friends! So, the other day I saw a beautiful card by @jojosspot using the @iostamps hollyhocks die and I knew it was time for me to get it. I’d been coveting it for over a year. And surprise surprise, I couldn’t find it anywhere online 😐 Yesterday I went to a craft show and was looking through a rack when I FOUND IT! Funny thing was that I had completely forgotten about it! Anyway, added bonus, it was on sale, so big LucieG smiles all round. 😆 I decided to use it for my entry for this week’s @freshlymadesketches challenge. It’s coloured with my #twinklingh2o paints. Look at that shimmer! I also used some @pennyblackstamps dies that I’ve had for AGES and a sentiment from a set by @winnieandwalter. #impressionobsession #impressionobsessiondies #iodies #pennyblack #pennyblackdies #winnieandwalter #winnieandwalterstamps #freshlymadesketches #fms331 #handmadecards

Happy Saturday! So it should come as no surprise that I LOVE background dies! The new @altenewllc doodled dots cover die is no exception! I manage to snag one during @diestodiefor discount weekend - thanks for the fast shipping Tracy! It’s such a beautiful die and I’m looking forward to using it with an ink blended background, but first I wanted to play along with this week’s @colorthrowdown challenge (pint, red, mint)! (That card really is mint-like I real life, honest! Looks quite aqua in my photos 😐 I’d love to say these were quick makes.... but that would be a lie! It took HOURS to inlay all those little dots! The sentiment dies are from @savvystamps and @pennyblackstamps #altenew #altenewllc #altenewdies #savvystamps #savvystampsdies #pennyblack #pennyblackdies #colorthrowdown #colorthrowdownchallenge #ctd478 #handmadecards

Happy Friyay!! I’m thrilled to be the GD for this week’s #casethissketch challenge. Such a fun sketch, perfect for CAS cards! Here’s my take using @iostamps dies and a stamp from @altenewllc. Hope you can play along! I’m also entering this into the #sssmchallenge (three of something). #casethissketchchallenge #impressionobsession #impressionobsessiondies #altenew #altenewstamps #mymindseye #simonsaysstamp #handmadecards

I've been itching to ink up my new @heroarts background stamp and new-to-me lion set. I was so impressed with how easy it was to line up the lion stamps - sometimes it can take me quite a while to get a decent image as I often misalign at least one stamp - not the case with the lion set. This was my first attempt and I just love how he turned out. Now that I've assembled it, the card and background together kind of reminds me of a lion version of the #boccadellaverita, don't you think?! I'm entering this into the current @ablognamedhero challenge (favourite products) and the @timeoutchallenges (spring photo inspiration) #heroarts #heroartsstamps #altenewinks #distressoxide #ablognamedhero #timeoutchallenges

Hi there! it's been quite cloudy here, so I pulled out some sunny #distressoxide inks to play with today! I used dies by @simonsaysstamp and @mamaelephant and a sentiment stamp from @mftstamps . I'm entering this into the current #casethissketch challenge and the #sssflickrchallenge (ink blending). #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #czdesigns #czdesign #mamaelephant #mamaelephantdies #timholtz #handmadecards

We launched a new #aaacardschallenge yesterday and this fortnight’s theme is ‘favourite technique’. I know, how do you choose?? 🤔 There are so many wonderful techniques! In the end I chose inlaid die-cutting using a beautiful @memoryboxco die AND ink blending 😉. I also added some shimmer with #perfectpearls . The sentiment is by @winnieandwalter. Full details are on my blog. Hope you can play along with us! #aaacards #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #winnieandwalter #winnieandwalterstamps #distressink #handmadecards

Happy Easter! You know I love Easter crafty supplies - it's just a shame that the Easter 'crafty season' is so short! I'm happy to say that I sent out all the Easter cards I made this year! I love popping my cards in the post! If you'd to receive like a (non-Easter!) card from me, DM me! I made this card for my mum using a sweet #nelliesnellen wreath stamp and a sentiment from @simonsaysstamp I'm entering this into the #ssswchallenge (anything goes) and the #justusgirlschallenge (CAS cards). #nelliesnellenstamps #simonsaysstamp #eastercard #handmadecards

Hello everyone! Although I try not to buy Easter sets, every year, a few break my resolve 😂! This year, I couldn’t resist the @newtonsnook Newton’s Easter set! So cute! I used my #twinklingh2o paints for the image. The stencil is from @simonsaysstamp and the sentiment is by @clearlybesotted. I’m entering this into the #ssswchallenge (anything goes) and the #justusgirlschallenge (CAS). #newtonsnook #newtonsnookstamps #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampstencils #distressink #eastercard #handmadecards

Hi everyone! I pulled out one of my old wood mounted stamps for this card... I love them and have so many, but they aren’t as easy to use as clear stamps with a stamp positioner, are they?! Anyway, I think I’m going to challenge myself to use at least one a week! When was the last time you used wood mounted stamps? Back to the card... after embossing the egg, I coloured it with my #twinklingh2o paints. I attached it to an ink-blended strip that I embossed with a @carabellestudio folder. The sentiment is from @clearlybesotted I’m entering this into the current @freshlymadesketches challenge. #whippersnapperstamps #carabellestudio #distressink #freshlymadesketches #eastercard #handmadecards #luciegembossinggoal #luciegwoodstampsgoal
