Hello everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the current Case This Sketch challenge.
I used a sketch to create a card for my dear dad – and I included glitter card and glitter nuvo drops! The only time of year that I can use glitter on his card!
I embossed an old wood-mounted stamp by Impression Obsession – I’m determined to use my wood-mounted stamps more frequently this year!
I also used an embossing folder I got from Michaels last April.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello there and Happy 2019!
Seriously, what happened to 2018? Didn’t it just fly by?! Scary!
Anyway, I wanted to share the card I made for my lovely mum! I used the My Favorite Things fireworks die and set about doing some inlaid die-cutting! I totally underestimated the time this would take – it turned into quite a labour of love, I must say!
The sentiment is from a Die-versions die – love the Art Deco feel!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
It’s been a very long time since I played along with a My Favorite Things sketch challenge. Not sure why as I do love a sketch challenge!
Anyway, I saw this week’s challenge pop up on Instagram and realised that as I had the Gift Box Cover Up die, I could easily play along! Sticking with my current New Year’s obsession THEME I created a background using distress oxide inks and the MFT firework stamps. I have had these stamps for a while and this is the first time I’ve used them. Best layering firework stamps ever! The polymer is trimmed to a point in one place on each stamp to make it really easy to line up the stamps. I’ve bought a few firework stamp sets over the years, and most of them have been a bit disappointing (probably user error!) but this set has to be my favourite now!
Anyway, after stamping the background, I die cut the Die-versions Party Crowd from black glitter paper, cut out the figures I wanted to use and stuck them to my base card to create an outside/balcony scene before adhering the frame using funky foam.
Finally, I added a sentiment from my favourite/most used Simon Says Stamp Holiday Words on a Line die set to complete my card.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello friends and happy Friyay! Although, I’m not sure about you but I had no idea what day it was when I woke up – post-Christmas limbo time I guess!!
Anyway, now that I’ve given out my festive thank you cards, I’m working on my new year’s cards.
I decided to play along with the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge again this week – and so this is my take using a Creative Expressions stencil, a couple of the Cosmic Shimmer luna pastes and some very old Cuttlebug dies!
I’m loving the luna paste so much – it has a much smoother consistency than the Nuvo embellishment mousse and I’m hoping it will survive a little longer than my mousses!
Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas dear friends!
Here’s the card I made for my brother using a Uniko stencil and a super Papersmooches snowman stamp.
Hope those of you celebrating have a wonderful day!
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Christmas Eve everyone!
Just thought I’d pop in and share I card I made using the super cute Poppystamps Whittle Deer! Have you seen the range? So cute and brilliant price point.
Anyway, I used the Memory Box Countryside Circle die to cut my base card. I then added an ink blended background behind the scene and added the Whittle Deer and a star.
I decided to add the kraft circle to frame the scene and then stamped a My Sentiments Exactly sentiment to complete my card.
I’m going to enter this into the current Poppystamps Challenge – Merry and Bright.
Thanks for stopping by!
