Hi everyone!
For today’s card, I used the wonderful new parcel dies from Simply Graphic. As soon as I saw that circular parcel, I knew I would have to buy the set – it’s so unusual!
I cut the parcels twice – from some My Mind’s Eye paper and then from some silver glitter paper and did a bit of inlaid die cutting. I popped the parcels onto a lightly inked background and added a sentiment from Clearly Besotted to finish off the card.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Everyone!
I need to rebuild my supply of birthday cards, so I turned to the current Case This Sketch Challenge for inspiration for today’s card.
I used a range of supplies/techniques – inlaid die cutting (with a Poppystamps die), dry embossing (with a Tim Holtz/Sizzix folder) and a tiny bit of stamping courtesy of Clearly Besotted!
ETA: With the encouragement of the lovely Trina, I am also posting this to the current Less Is More challenge (dry embossing). I was reluctant to do so after my last entry into that challenge (I was not aware of their rule change about dry embossing), but I am grateful to Trina for her support and encouragement.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Friyay everyone!
Well, I can honestly say that I never thought that I would make a card with a lyre on it, but here it is! I was using the Waffle Flower ‘Currently Listening’ stamp set and spotted the lyre and just had to include it on this card, even thought I don’t know anyone who plays it!! Such an unusual instrument to include in the set!
I embossed the images and a sentiment stamp by Hero Arts and then stuck them in the frame that I cut from glitter paper using a Memory Box die. I added black glitter paper where the sections were too small for an image.
I adhered the die cut to a panel that I embossed with a Darice folder.
I’m entering this into the current Less is More challenge – music.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello there!
After days and days of making heart/love/friendship cards, it felt good to pull out some different supplies today.
For this card, I used image dies from Simply Graphic plus a sentiment stamp from My Favorite Things which I stuck to a kraft tag cut with a Penny Black tag die.
I’m entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge (add a die cut).
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
I was able to play with the Avery Elle liquid watercolours today. I only got a couple to try but I will be getting more!
For this card, I used Avery Elle Stamps and dies from My Favorite Things.
Looking at it now, I wonder if I should have used grey cardstock as a base, rather than kraft…. Hmmm. What do you think?
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Everyone!
I’m loving the sketch for this week’s Case This Sketch challenge – so many possibilities! In the end, I kept it simple!
I stamped and coloured a fabulous image from PaperArtsy using distress oxide inks. To finish off the card, I added a Clearly Besotted sentiment to a blended strip of card and adhered it to the card.
Thanks for stopping by!
