Hello Spring Blossoms

Hi everyone!

There’s a feeling of spring in the air today – I can see buds appearing across the garden!

So I felt it was right to pull out my Pretty Pink Posh Cherry Blossoms stamps and dies for my take on the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I coloured the flowers with Twinkly H2Os and Prismacolour pencils and arranged them on a rectangle of Basic Grey paper.

The sentiment is by Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!

LucieG.

Your softly colored blossoms are beautiful on the BG paper (which I recognized immediately and have a few sheets squirreled away). Thanks for sharing with us at FMS this week!

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

Happy Sunday! Today I’m playing along with the @memoryboxco challenge which has a theme of embossing. Of course I chose dry embossing (although heat embossing is super cool and got me hooked on crafting!). I used an older @memoryboxco butterfly frame die and a few #distressoxide panels. The embossing folder is by #cuttlebug and the sentiment is also by @memoryboxco. Full details are on my blog. Have a great evening! #memorybox #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #memoryboxstamps #butterflies #cuttlebugembossingfolder #dryembossing #embossingfolder #outsidetheboxchallenge #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Saturday! There's another great sketch for the @freshlymadesketches challenge this week - it gave me so many ideas! In the end, I decided to use some stamps from @heroarts and a couple of dies from @memoryboxco together with a @teamspellbinders embossing folder. I stepped outside my pastel-coloured comfort zone and embrace the bright colours! I pulled out the brightest #twinkingh2o paints and got colouring. Usually I choose the background paper before I colour as I find it easier (and quicker) to create that way... but today I didn't and spent a happy time flicking through my old @official_basicgrey paper pads.... Yep, this card took MUCH longer than it should have! I'm also entering this into the @the_flower_challenge which has the theme of embossing. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! #heroarts #heroartsstamps #memorybox #memoryboxdies #memoryboxco #spellbinders #spellbindersembossingfolder #freshlymadesketches #flowerchallenge #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Friyay friends! As soon as I saw the sketch for the current #cascoloursandsketches challenge, I thought of an older @memoryboxco die with lines and dots which matched the main shape on the sketch. I ended up pairing it with my newest @memoryboxco die - the fabulous Daisy Silhouette, which I covered with #nuvoglittergloss. It’s got such a nice subtle shimmer in real life, so difficult to photograph though! Have a lovely weekend! #memorybox #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #inkblending #distressoxide #cascard #cascardchallenge #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstgram

Hello friends! There’s another lovely colour combo for the @colorthrowdown Challenge this week - aqua, green and grey. I used a couple of dies from @simonsaysstamp for my card. I love that border die, but that inlaid die cutting took quite a bit longer than I thought it would! #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #inlaiddiecutting #distressoxide #colorthrowdown #ctd543 #cascard #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello! I treated myself to a day in the craftroom today as my planned crafty weekend didn’t happen. This morning I got super inky with my new distress oxide sprays and this afternoon I went from one extreme to the other as I made this all white card! I used one of my favourite dies from @simplygraphic (die étamines) and a sentiment from @savvystamps. I’m entering this into the current #casonfriday challenge. #simplygraphic #simplygraphicdies #savvystamps #savvystampsdies #cascard #caschallenge #diecutting #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hi everyone! I’ve been battling a migraine alllll weekend. And of course it’s only getting better now that Sunday is almost over 😡 I didn’t get to craft much as a result but I have been able to do this super quick card for the @freshlymadesketches challenge. I used @official_basicgrey paper, an older die from @memoryboxco and a sentiment from @heroarts. #freshlymadesketches #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #heroarts #handmadecards #cascard #cardmakersofinstagram #diecutting #twinklingh20s

Happy Saturday! My new @memoryboxco dies arrived this morning (thanks @crafts4lessuk !) and I just had to play with them straightaway! I used the beautiful colour palette from this week’s @colorthrowdown challenge and added a stamped sentiment, also by @memoryboxco. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! #memorybox #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #memoryboxstamps #distressoxide #colorthrowdown #ctd542 #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #diecutting

Hello friends! I finally used this pretty dahlia stem die which was an impulse buy from @simonsaysstamp. I couldn’t decide between two floral dies... and went for this one. I still keep thinking about the other one though 🙄 Anyway, I did a bit of controlled ink smooshing on the background and then coloured the die cut using #distressink. The sentiment is by @clearlybesotted. #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #inkblending #inksmooshing #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #diecutting #inlaiddiecutting

Happy Tuesday! Today I’m playing along with the current #casethissketch challenge. When I saw the sketch, I thought about using some corner stamps but I wanted to do something a bit different, so I started looking through my dies. I liked the positioning of the butterflies on the three frames of the @poppystamps Butterfly Triptych die and realised that I could use them in my take on the sketch challenge by cutting away half of each of the frames! I added a @poppystamps sentiment and some glittery @simonsaysstamp butterflies to complete my card. I’m also entering this into the current @poppystamps challenge and the @aaabirthdaychallenge. #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #poppystampschallenge #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #casethissketchchallenge #diecutting #inlaiddiecutting #distressoxide #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello friends! I had a busy bank holiday in my garden but I just managed to sneak in a quick entry to the @freshlymadesketches challenge just at the end of my day! I used the @simonsaysstamp Modern Roses background which I coloured with #distressmarkers before spritzing with water. This background here is actually from second generation stamping. The first image was a little too abstract, but I’ll probably still use it at some point! The sentiment is my @lilinkerdesigns I’m also entering this into the current #sssflickrchallenge where the theme is Mother’s Day or flowers. #simonsaysstamp #lilinkerdesigns #lilinkerdesignsdies #freshlymadesketches #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello friends! This morning, I trimmed down the left over part from yesterday’s card and made it into a frame for a quick and simple birthday card. Well at least it would have been quick if I hadn’t inspected every piece of coloured cardstock in my craft room before choosing this aqua card for the die cut! The stamped daisies are by @altenewllc and the die is from @simonsaysstamp so I’m entering this into the current #sssflickrchallenge (mother’s day / flowers). #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #altenew #altenewstamps #altenewllc #colorlayering #diecutting #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram
