Framed Bunny

Happy Good Friday!

I don’t really create many cutesy cards… except at Easter time it seems! I guess I just can’t resist those sweet bunnies!

Today’s card uses dies from three companies – Memory Box (bunny), Lawn Fawn (eggs) and Simon Says Stamp (frame).

I’m entering this into the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge – die cutting.

Thanks for stopping by!

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

I inked up my new colour layering set from @altenewllc today – the Beloved Daisies! I’ve been eagerly awaiting their arrival at @sevenhillscrafts and this week was the week! Thanks for the fast shipping as usual Tara! I decided to play along with the current #cascoloursandsketches challenge which is a combined colour and sketch challenge. I found it difficult to match the colours, but I think I got quite close using a mix of inks from @altenewllc, @mftstamps and #distressink #altenew #altenewstamps #altenewinks #altenewllc #mftinks #colourlayering #cascard #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Friyay friends! I've had the most frustrating day doing what I thought would be a reasonably quick DIY project. It wasn't. 😡 Oh well, at least nothing was broken (except maybe my spirit! 🙄). So this evening I knew I had to do a bit of colouring to de-stress. It worked! I coloured the fabulous new @altenewllc delicate flower bed stamp and then used the @simonsaysstamp big hello die for some hidden die cutting! The embossed sentiment is actually from an @altenewllc / @simonsaysstamp Stamptember collaboration a few years ago. I'm entering this into the current #sssflickrchallenge (mother's day/flowers). #altenew #altenewstamps #altenewllc #altenewdelicateflowerbed #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #hiddendiecut #twinklingh2o #heatembossing #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello! Happy almost Friday! I went into my craft room to start planning a card before eating... and before I knew it, it was 9pm and I hadn’t even stepped into my kitchen 🤦🏻‍♀️ Anyway, here’s what kept me from my dinner! A card for the current challenge at @timeoutchallenges - the theme is playful! I turned the @memoryboxco crouching cat into a playful cat swinging from a @simonsaysstamp tree, just waiting to pounce! His little paws are separate from the main die cut and as I wanted the kitty to swing on my card, I stuck the paws on some acetate which I then stuck to the back of the kitty! Have a good evening! #memorybox #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #memoryboxstamps #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #distressoxide #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #timeoutchallenges

This week, I have the honour of being the Guest Designer over at one of my favourite challenges – the @colorthrowdown challenge. The palette for this challenge is pale pink, brown, black and white, another fabulous combo, don’t you think? I had an initial idea for a card with the @poppystamps Whittle Bird dies, but that’s the only thing that stayed the same! Once I stumbled across an old @simonsaysstamp frame, the idea changed completely! I also added another older SSS die (Fresh Daisies) – so amazing to see these dies were produced in 2013 and 2014! Time flies! #colorthrowdown #ctd541 #cardchallenge #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #nuvoalcoholmarkers #clearlybesotted #clearlybesottedstamps #cardmakersofinstagram #handmadecards #sssflickrchallenge
