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!

Happy Saturday! It's #christmasinjuly Day 20 and guess what! It's another die cut card from me! I reckon it's a reaction to the past month of just stamping and colouring! Anyway, I chose to flip the sketch from this week's @freshlymadesketches challenge to make a landscape card. I used a window die from @MDT stamps together with an ornament die from @simplygraphic . The front of the card is adhered to the base with foam tape and I was originally planning to just attach the ornaments to the top of each window but they ended up looking really weird, so they are all adhered to the base using the tiniest slivers of foam tape! The sentiment is by @clearlybesotted. #dienamics #simplygraphic #simplygraphicdies #clearlybesottedstamps #freshlymadesketches #christmascards #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #luciegchristmasinjuly2019

Happy Friyay friends! For today’s#christmasinjuly card I used dies from @memoryboxco and @pennyblackstamps plus a fun stamp by @newtonsnook ! Have a wonderful weekend! #memorybox #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #pennyblackdies #newtonsnook #newtonsnookdesigns #newtonsnookstamps #distressoxide #christmascard #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #luciegchristmasinjuly2019

Happy almost-Friday! Today I’m playing along with colour challenge at #cascoloursandsketches I used a tree die by @simplygraphic and a sentiment by @simonsaysstamp I have a problem photographing navy - it either looks like black cardstock or too light. Today I decided to try something different- I added some chipped sapphire #distressink to my blue card to create a darker blue. I love that I could then lift some ink off to give a snowy effect around the trees! Have a good evening! #simplygraphicdies #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #christmascards #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #christmasinjuly #luciegchristmasinjuly2019

Hi everyone! Day 17 of #christmasinjuly and I'm still die cutting! Today I used an older @memoryboxco die with the sketch from the current #casethissketch challenge and the fabulous palette from this week's #colorthrowdown challenge - pink, grey, white and silver. I used this die a lot for some mass-produced cards a few years ago; this card is definitely NOT a design for speedy mass production - that inlaid die cutting took a while due to ALL THOSE TINY DOTS. Worth it though, I love the effect! The stamped sentiment is by @sugarpeadesigns. I’m also entering this into the current #caschristmascardchallenge where the theme is snowflake. #memorybox #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #diecutting #inlaiddiecutting #sugarpeadesigns #christmascard #handmadecards #snowflake #colorthrowdownchallenge #ctd552 #casethissketchchallenge #luciegchristmasinjuly2019 #caschristmas #cascard

Hello friends! Here’s a set of cards I made at the weekend using another fabulous colour combo from @colorthrowdown (pink, gold, black and white) and an older tree die from @poppystamps Have a good evening! #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #colorthrowdown #ctd551 #christmascard #christmasinjuly #diecutting #luciegchristmasinjuly2019 #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello everyone! After a month of stamping and colouring, I’m back to die cutting! Here’s what I made for this week’s @freshlymadesketches challenge. I used a @simonsaysstamp die and decided to turn it into a shaker card at the very last minute! The border die is from @ellenhutsonllc and I also used an older @heroarts stamp. #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #essentialsbyellen #heroarts #heroartsstamps #freshlymadesketches #christmascard #christmasinjuly #luciegchristmasinjuly2019 #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Good morning everyone! When @kathyrac announced her #thedailymarker30day I decided I would play along again with only my wood-mounted stamps. I dedicated the second half of the challenge to #christmasinjuly 30 days, 38 wood-mounted stamps and 30 cards later, I’m so happy to have used my neglected wood mounted stamps and made such a great start on my Christmas cards! I even wrote another blog post about it! I’d love it if you could swing by and take a look. Thanks friends for all your lovely comments and support, I appreciate each and every one 💕 Have a good week! @heroarts @pennyblackstamps @magentastyle @stampendous @iostamps #luciegwoodstampchallenge2019 #luciegchristmasinjuly2019 #christmascard #heroarts #pennyblackstamps #magentastudio #stampendous #artimpressions #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Well we did it! Day 30 of another #thedailymarker30day Thanks @kathyrac for hosting this fabulous event for our community! I created 30 cards, all with my old wood-mounted stamps again! I just had to use one of my favourite festive stamps today - Kitty Claws by @stampendous Isn’t it CUTE! And the stamp name is adorable! My mum first spotted and bought this stamp at our local stamping store over a decade ago.... and I kept borrowing it! I finally bought my own about 5 years ago and it’s one of my most used wood mounted stamps in recent years! #stampendous #stampendousstamps #twinklingh2o #christmascards #christmasinjuly #luciegwoodstampchallenge2019 #luciegchristmasinjuly2019

Hello friends! Today, I coloured the fabulous Holiday Giraffe from @heroarts for Day 29 of #thedailymarker30day. The stamp has a date of 2007 and I reckon it’s been 10 years since I used it! So much fun to play with it again! The sentiment is from a set by @winnieandwalter. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! #heroarts #heroartsstamps #winnieandwalter #winnieandwalterstamps #inkblending #distressink #twinklingh2o #christmascard #christmasinjuly #handmadecards #luciegwoodstampchallenge2019 #luciegchristmasinjuly2019

Happy Friyay friends! Day 28 of #thedailymarker30day and for today’s card, I used another @magentastyle stamp with the sketch from the current #trystampinontuesday challenge. I played around with different ways of recreating that central strip – patterned paper, dry embossing, coloured card! In the end, I pulled out a @studiokatia stencil and applied a layer of distress ink and then glitter paste. I really wanted to ensure that the strip didn’t dominate the main image, so I’m pleased with how it turned out! Have a lovely weekend! #magentastamps #studiokatia #twinklingh2o #stencilling #christmascard #christmasinjuly #glitterpaste #luciegwoodstampchallenge2019 #luciegchristmasinjuly2019

Happy Thursday! After yesterday’s creative explosion, I got back to my CAS comfort zone today! I used a cute festive stamp by @magentastyle and an older embossing plate from @ellenhutsonllc. Oh and a very old @teamspellbinders #nestabilities die for the main image! So much fun to use those older supplies again! I used the sketch from the current #cascoloursandsketches challenge and I’m also entering this into the current #inkspirationalchallenge (three of something). This is my colouring for Day 27 of #thedailymarker30day. #magentastamps #essentialsbyellen #twinklingh2o #handmadecards #christmascard #christmasinjuly #luciegwoodstampchallenge2019 #luciegchristmasinjuly2019

Hello! For today’s #luciegchristmasinjuly2019 card, I’m using the sketch for the current #52christmascardthrowdown challenge. I'm not too sure how I feel about my interpretation! It seems to have EVERYTHING and for this CAS girl... well I feel I may have gone a little overboard! The stamps are from @heroarts 2004 and 2005 collections; the paper is by @official_basicgrey the window die from @mftstamps and the embossing folder is by @crafterscompuk It even has #stickles ! I told you - something of everything.... maybe a little too much 🤔 This also includes my colouring for Day 26 of #thedailymarker30day !!! Have a good evening! #heroarts #heroartsstamps #dienamics #twinklingh2o #basicgrey #crafterscompanion #embossingfolder #handmadecards #christmascards #luciegwoodstampchallenge2019

Hi friends! Who remembers #elzybells ? She’s a UK designer who made some fabulous stamps maybe a decade ago... I loved her designs and have a lot of the unmounted red rubber stamps and a few wood mounted ones, like this sweet festive image. I coloured it using the colour combo from this week’s #casonfriday challenge and added a @mamaelephant sentiment. This is my colouring for Day 25 of #thedailymarker30day #elzybellsartstamps #mamaelephant #mamaelephantstamps #twinklingh2o #christmascards #christmasinjuly #luciegwoodstampchallenge2019 #luciegchristmasinjuly2019

Hello! Having caught up with #thedailymarker30day I’m determined to stay up to date for the home stretch! Here’s my colouring for Day 24, using a cute snowman stamp that I got on my third ever visit to a @hobbylobby store back in 2015! I’m entering this into the current #retrorubberchallengeblog (Christmas in July) and #caschristmas challenge (snowflake) #printworkscollection #octoberafternoon #octoberafternoonstamp #sugarpeadesigns #sugarpeadesignsstamps #twinklingh2o #distressoxide #christmascard #christmasinjuly #handmadecards #luciegwoodstampchallenge2019 #luciegchristmasinjuly2019

Hello! I’m so happy I say that I have finally caught up with #thedailymarker30day - this is my colouring for Day 23! How can there only be one week left? Time flies doesn’t it?! I used an older stamp by @magentastyle which I coloured with my #twinklingh2o paints and #nuvoaquashimmer pen - it’s so shimmery in real life! I’m entering this into the current #abcchristmas challenge where the theme is no peeking/ornaments. #magentastamps #magentastudio #abcchristmaschallenge #handmadecards #christmascard #cascard #cardmakersofinstagram #christmasinjuly #luciegwoodstampchallenge2019 #luciegchristmasinjuly2019
