Made in May Card 12

Hello everyone!!

Sadly my plans for cardmaking fell by the wayside over the last week/weekend. Life just got busy! Fortunately I carved out some crafty time this evening to play along with the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I bought the kit for Spellbinders’ Weekender event in a few weekends time as I didn’t do the Pinkfresh event this month. Sadly they are on the US West coast time zone which means I won’t be able to attend most of the classes in real time but I hope that the class that uses this beautiful arch die set will be at a ‘friendly’ time!

I’m disappointed that the stencilled waves weren’t picked up in this photo but they are there!

The sentiment is by Simon Says Stamp.

Hello everyone!!

I was short on time today so chose a very quick CAS card using one element of the Spellbinders Patchwork embossing folder.

The flowery panel was slightly too short for my card base so I cut it and then adhered the Heffy Doodle sentiment die to hide the gap in the panel!

I added a few glittery butterflies from a Paper Rose Studio die set to complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!!

I picked up the fun Radial Butterflies embossing folder by Altenew in a sale recently and for today’s CAS card, I cut it from some Craft Consortium paper and then inlaid all the little butterflies into a white die cut background panel.

Hello everyone!!

I really enjoyed making today’s card – very CAS but with lots of die cut elements – so much fun!

The elongated oval die cut was embossed using the Spellbinders/Simon Hurley Plaster embossing folder which has such amazing texture! The stem dies are by Spellbinders and I completed by card with a little glittery bow by The Greetery.

Hello everyone!!

Last year, I rediscovered Pinkfresh Studio products when I attended one of their online cardmaking events and I’ve been growing my collection of their product suites ever since.

Their older products are quite difficult to get hold of in the UK and I know I missed out on a lot of beautiful releases. Happily I was able to get hold of the stunning Breezy Blossoms cling stamp/stencil/die suite. The red rubber stamps emboss beautifully and are a joy to colour!

For today’s card I used the individual images to create a little wreath which actually serves as a frame for the sentiment that is from a set I received for one of their events last year. So I decided I could enter this into the current Pinkfresh Studio monthly challenge which has ‘Frame it Up’ as a theme.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!!

Today I’m finally using the fabulous buttercup die set by Simon Says Stamp that I just HAD to buy when I saw an amazing card created by the talented Cindy Norberg.

The wood slice is from a die cutting/embossing folder set by Stampin Up that I got some time ago but hadn’t used. The sentiment is from a set by The Greetery.
