Day 2 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event again this year.

The sponsor for Day 2 was Simon Says Stamp – all the inspiration was amazing, but as I’m short on time, I decided to use Barbara Tarayao.’s die cut tag as my inspiration.

My base tag is by Altenew and all other dies used here are by Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!

Autumn Bounty

Hi everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Card Concept challenge.

They have a beautiful autumn scene for their inspiration – I was particularly drawn to the colours of the hydrangea flowers – mine are just like that right now. I love that hydrangea flowers are so pretty even after their summer moment of glory! Anyway, here is my card using dies by Memory Box, Concord & 9th and Penny Black.

Thanks for stopping by!

Day 1 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020

Hi everyone!

Last year, I played along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags for the third year in a row. I was pretty busy with work and travel so didn’t manage to create 26 tags, but I made 20 which was still enough for my 2019 gifts!

I’m so happy to see the event is back again this year! Once again, each day has a sponsor and I am going to try to use products from each sponsor wherever I can.

Sunny Studio was the sponsor for Day 1. I really like their layering stamps and once their Christmas layering stamps are back in stock at my UK retailer, I’m going to buy them!

For my first tag, I decided to use Cheryl Nutti‘s inspiration. The stamps I used are by Sunny Studio and by Hero Arts.

Thanks for stopping by!

Ghost Hugs

Happy Halloween everyone!

Here’s a quick card I made with the My Favorite Things Fab-boo-lous Friends stamp set and a wonderful background die by Winnie & Walter. I’ve been very drawn to cards with bright pink backgrounds recently so I HAD to do one of my own!

Thanks for stopping by!

Colourful Tall Trees

Happy Friyay everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown! The palette this week is kraft, red, green and chartreuse.

I immediately thought of the chartreuse colour burst and knew I had to create a card using that! I created a few inky backgrounds and used the Tall Tree dies from the Stamp Market to cut a few trees. I LOVE this die and was stalking my UK retailer until the die went live on the site and snapped it up straightaway!

I added a few splashes of kraft paint at the tree bases and die cut some kraft stars and dots to add to the sky. The sentiment is stamped in Frayed Burlap distress oxide and is by Mama Elephant.

Multi coloured pumpkins

Hi everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the sketch challenge at the CAS Colours and Sketches challenge.

A few weeks ago, some amazing pumpkin shaped cookies popped up on my Instagram feed. The icing colours were fabulous so I saved the image, planning to use it at some point this autumn. When I saw the sketch challenge, I knew it was time to roll out those pumpkins and my distress inks! I used the Pumpkins and Gourds dies by Poppystamps. The sentiment is also by Poppystamps.

Thanks for stopping by!
