Hello everyone and Merry Monday!
There’s a super sketch for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge and here is my take!
I used the Starburst Snowflake Discs die set by Memory Box, a Simon Says Stamp embossing folder and a sentiment by Creative Expressions.

Today I’m playing along with the current colour challenge over at the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown!
When I saw that this week’s colour palette was green, white and gold I knew I would have to make a card with a tree!
I decided to use the larger tree from the Concord & 9th Cloche die set that I bought before last Christmas and oddly used for the February Colour Challenge! I cut it from Craft Consortium paper and then die cut elements from glitter and mirror card. for the card base, I used a Simply Graphic die and a few hand punches.
To complete my card, I added a sentiment from a Hero Arts set from 2005!
Thanks for stopping by!

My training for Christmas in July continues today with my card for the current sketch challenge over at the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown!
What a great sketch! I had originally planned to use a snowflake die set for my focal point but soon realised that the image would be too big – so I pivoted and pulled out the new-to-me Poppystamps Bird House Pop Up Easel die set that I picked up in a sale earlier this year. I have to confess that I bought the entire set because I LOVED that cardinal die!
I created the background strip using some coloured card, a Simon Says Stamp embossing folder and tons of distress oxide ink. The sentiment is by Clearly Besotted.

It’s been a while but I’m back with a festive card – after all, I’ve got to get into training for Christmas in July! Today I’m playing along with the current technique challenge over at the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown!
The DT had a Tic-Tac-Toe challenge for us this week and I chose the centre line – Angel/Favourite Colour/Holiday Sentiment.
It was the perfect challenge for the bargain Memory Box Gilded Angel Backdrop die that I picked up in September last year, but didn’t use… until now! I paired it with a Memory Box background die, some blended purple ink and a Hero Arts stamped sentiment.

Today I’m playing along with the current colour challenge over at the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown!
When I saw that this week’s colour palette was blue and white I was excited to play along with the challenge – it’s the perfect combo for icy cards!
I decided that I wanted to use one of my wood mounted rubber stamps and had already decided that I would pair the stamp with the Concord & 9th Cloche die set that I bought before Christmas but never got round to using! I have two snowflake tree stamps – one was too large but this one, by Inkadinkadoo, was perfect! I heat embossed it and then blended some distress ink across the background.
I used a number of the Concord & 9th dies to create the cloche scene which I adhered to a blue card base and then added the flourish and flakes from the Memory Box Wintry Snowflake Bundle set.

Hi again everyone!
Next up today is the card I made for the Memory Box Snowfall challenge.
I started by creating a blended panel using regular distress inks. I then cut the beautiful Silent Snowflake Frame die from glitter card and adhered to my card base. I cut the Alpine Snowflake from holographic card and adhered to the centre of the card.
To complete my card, I added a sentiment from an older set by The Ton Stamps and a few gems.
Thanks for stopping by!
