Merry Whittle Penguins

Hi Everyone!

Today, I’m playing along with this week’s Case This Sketch challenge

I used my newest cute Christmas dies – the Whittle Penguins by Poppystamps, a background stamp and couple of dies from My Favorite Things and a Mama Elephant sentiment stamp. The Embossing Folder is by Taylored Expressions.

Thank for stopping by!

Happy Sunday! I’ve been itching to have a go at the faux metal etching technique that @jennifermcguireink demonstrated a few weeks ago! It’s great fun but soooo difficult to photograph! For my card, I used the sketch from #inspirecreatechallenges and stamps and dies from @simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #heatembossing #diecutting #autumncard #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #simonsaysstampmondaychallenge

Happy Saturday friends! Did you see the amazing retro My Monthly Hero kit? I love it and it got me thinking of some old #quickutz retro dies I got in Archivers almost a decade ago.... After a bit of a search, I found them in my craft room and used them with a few #distressoxide backgrounds. I even managed to find an old @heroarts stamp with a similar font! It’s always fun to use old supplies isn’t it?! #quickutzdies #archivers #heroartsstamps #christmascards #cardmakersofinstagram #diecutting

Hello friends! I’ve been looking for some quirky tree dies for quite a while and as soon as I saw the trees in the @mariannedesign_ October release, I HAD to snap them up! Aren’t they fun! And what’s more, this isn’t all the trees in the set!! Be warned friends, there is a high probability that the Christmas card I send you will have a few of these trees 😄 #mariannedesign #mariannedesigndies #sugarpeadesigns #distressoxide #distressoxidespray #christmascards #diecutting #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #cascoloursandsketches

Happy Sunday friends! I had thought of quite a few cards to make yesterday and then I was only able to make one.... but today is a new day and here’s what I made this morning! It’s my take on the current @freshlymadesketches challenge using a doctored @poppystamps frame die and cute little ghosts from @memoryboxco. The sentiment is by @mftstamps and the background folder is from @creativeexpressionscraft . Enjoy the rest of the weekend! #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #memoryboxco #memoryboxdies #mftstamps #creativeexpressions #creativeexpressionsembossingfolders #embossingfolder #dryembossing #diecutting #freshlymadesketches #halloweencards #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy world cardmaking day dear friends! I’ve been battling a hideous migraine since Friday morning and really thought I wouldn’t be able to make a card today. 😔 luckily I started to feel better mid afternoon and made this card using the fabulous cosmos stem die from @simonsaysstamp and an embossing folder from @tayloredexpressions . I used the @colorthrowdown colour palette for this week (lavender, purple, orange and green) although that lavender looks more blue in these photos.... Enjoy the rest of the day! #ctd563 #colorthrowdown #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampdies #twinklingh2o #tayloredexpressions #tayloredexpressionsembossingfolder #embossingfolder #dryembossing #diecutting #wcmd2019 #worldcardmakingday #worldcardmakingday2019 #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Hello friends! I almost bought some more embellishment mousse this weekend as I found a good deal. But before I hit that ‘buy’ button, I remembered my @creativeexpressionscraft #cosmicshimmerlunapaste that I got maybe a year ago so I thought I’d give them another try! So glad I did! They were still in perfect condition and just look at the shimmer! I applied various colours to card and left to dry overnight before cutting with some @paulabmpascual / @craftstashcouk Bright Rosa dies. I’m entering this into the current #cascoloursandsketches sketch challenge. #mybrightrosa #brightrosadies #sugarpeadesigns #cosmicshimmer #diecutting #butterflies #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Sunday! Isn’t the latest @mamaelephant release amazing? I fell in love with the Posy and Pine stamp set and snapped it up straight away! I decided use the gorgeous combo from this week’s @colorthrowdown challenge- cobalt blue, aqua, grey and black After colouring I added a couple of Mama Elephant sentiment and few sequins to finish off my card. #mamaelephant #mamaelephantdies #mamaelephantstamps #mamaelephantpineandposy #colorthrowdown #ctd562 #twinklingh2o #handmadecards #christmascards

Happy Saturday! Here’s my take on this week’s @freshlymadesketches challenge! I stamped and embossed an image from @thetonstamps using antique linen #distressoxide ink. After I coloured it, I wanted to add a little glittery something to the centres of the flowers. My gold stickles were a little too bright so I wiped that off and hunted through the rest of my collection.. I was delighted to uncover antique linen stickles! No idea when I got that, but so glad I did! I then dry embossed an oval die into a kraft base. I’m still struggling with getting a decent impression using my #geminijunior . I seemed to get either a barely embossed image or a die cut image. 😏 Have you found a good way of embossing dies with your Gemini?? #thetonstamps #danielsmithwatercolor #freshlymadesketches #handmadecards

Life is a bit busy at the moment but tonight when I got home from work I was determined to craft as I had an idea for this week’s #casethissketch challenge! I’ve coveted the Fab-boo-lous Friends set from @mftstamps for YEARS and I finally bought them this summer. And today was the day that I got to use them at last! Have a lovely evening! #mftstamps #dienamics #distressinks #diecutting #halloween #halloweencard #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #casethissketchchallenge

Happy Sunday friends! This week’s palette for the @colorthrowdown challenge is gorgeous- purple, light green, teal and ivory. I started with a never-been-used background die from @lifestylecrafts and a sentiment die from @waffleflowercrafts I was quite determined not to use a flower.... Well, as you can see, I soon changed my mind as I felt the card needed a little something extra! So out came those lovely @the_greetery dies again! 😉 Have a good evening! #lifestylecrafts #lifestylecraftsdies #waffleflowercrafts #waffleflowercraftsdies #distressink #colorthrowdown #ctd561 #diecutting #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Saturday! Here’s my take on this week’s @freshlymadesketches challenge! I used one of my favourites from @poppystamps a @heroarts sentiment and I broke into my @official_basicgrey paper mountain again! #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #heroarts #heroartsstamps #basicgreypaper #freshlymadesketches #diecutting #handmadecards

Hello everyone! After a warm weekend, it’s feeling autumnal here in London today. I’m playing along with the current #cascoloursandsketches sketch challenge and created this little scene with an older die from @poppystamps and a sentiment from the @heroarts September 2018 kit. Have a greet week! #poppystamps #poppystampsdies #mymonthlyhero #danielsmithwatercolor #distressink #heatembossing #diecutting #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Sunday friends! I’ve had this beautiful stamp set from @thetonstamps for a few months now but really wanted to enjoy the process of colouring it if you know what I mean. Well today was the day! I used the palette from this week’s @colorthrowdown challenge (red, yellow, brown and green). When I finished I felt that the yellow wasn’t obvious so I smooshed some yellow ink on the background... you can definitely see the yellow now 😄 Have a good evening! #thetonstamps #danielsmithwatercolor #inksmooshing #distressink #colorthrowdown #ctd560 #diecutting #watercolouring #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram

Happy Saturday! I haven’t been able to craft all week but I was able to spend the day in the craft room today! Yay! Here’s my take on this week’s @freshlymadesketches challenge! I used dies from @paulabmpascual and @mftstamps, a @simonsaysstamp stencil and a @pennyblackstamps sentiment. #mybrightrosa #dienamics #simonsaysstamp #simonsaysstampstencils #pennyblackstamps #distressinks #diecutting #handmadecards #cardmakersofinstagram #freshlymadesketches #christmascards
