Happy Friyay everyone!
Today I’m playing along in the Just Us Girls challenge which has a fun inspiration photo this week!
I’ve had this fun Bunny die by Marianne Designs in my collection for YEARS but I hadn’t put it with my Easter supplies so always forgot about it… until now! For my card, I used it with a couple of Poppystamps dies – the Country Basket set and the fabulously versatile Floral Cluster die, which I coloured with distress oxide inks.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Wednesday everyone!
Today I’m playing along in the CAS on Friday challenge which has the theme of ‘spring flowers’!
Although my snowdrops have mostly faded away, I really wanted to use the beautiful snowdrop image from Penny Black’ s Wintry Whites mini stamp set (30-634)! I fussy cut and coloured the image with my Twinkling H2O paints. I then smooshed some distress ink onto my card base, added a frame from the Framed die set (51-622) and a sentiment from the Fragrant Friends stamp set (30-807).
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy St David’s Day everyone!
I can’t believe it’s March already and I bet I said the same thing last year too! It’s a very dank day here in London but my snowdrops and crocuses have faded and the daffodil buds are so close to opening! I’m always on the look out for daffodil (and snowdrop) stamps and dies and whilst the latter remain elusive, I have amassed a few daffodil stamps over the years.
The main image is from the Perfumed stamp set by Penny Black (30-819) – it’s a really good size to use on a standard card and such a joy to colour with my Twinkling H2Os! Following the sketch from The Paper Players, I adhered a base panel cut with the Graceful Stackers die set (51-658) and added my image on top. I tucked some swirls (from the Flourish and Butterflies die set (51-198)) behind the daffodil oval
To complete my card, I added a sentiment from the Enliven mini stamp set (30-705).

Hello everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the Poppystamps challenge where the theme is flowers and butterflies! Two of my favourites! I can’t believe I only saw the theme at the end of the month – the challenge closes tonight so I made it just in time!
I used quite a few dies from my Poppystamps collection: the main image is the Blooming Branches Sidekick frame and stencil set, then I used the Dervyn Butterfly Trio and Emelia Butterfly Trio. Finally I added the freehand Happy Spring sentiment – althoughit has been super warm here today, technically it is still spring until mid June after all!
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Friyay friends!
Today I’m playing along in TWO challenges hosted by Simon Says Stamp – the May instagram challenge where the theme is ‘favourite technique’ and the Wednesday challenge which is ‘anything goes’ with Simon Says Stamp products being showcased.
I decided to make another mini slimline card using my current favourite technique of die cutting. I used the Simon Says Stamp Sweet Tulip die and a stamped sentiment from a 2012 SSS set called Flower Friend.
The sentiment is also by Memory Box.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Saturday friends!
It’s been a long time since I last played in a Simon Says Stamp blog challenge but the Wednesday challenge theme is ‘dies or punches’ with Memory Box products being showcased. Well of course I HAD to play along didn’t I?!
I used a couple of old dies and one newer one for my take on the challenge theme – the Grand Flower Box by Poppystamps plus the beautiful Spring border – which is celebrating its tenth birthday this year! Yep this beautiful die is from 2011! I coloured the die cuts with distress inks and then added a die cut from the 2020 Cherry Blossom branches set on top of the box.
The sentiment is also by Memory Box.
Thanks for stopping by!
