Hi everyone!
As Tracey McNeely isn’t running her 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year, I have created my own event using 25 days from Tracey’s event posts over the last decade, as I explained in this post.
Day 2’s inspiration is Day 14, 2014.
I loved all of Tracey’s die cut tags, especially because I have the Bo Bunny papers she used! So I knew I would have to use them too! I used dies by Ellen Hutson for my take.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
Welcome to Day 19 of Christmas in July 2021! Today I’m playing along with the Addicted to CAS challenge which has a theme of geometric.
I decided to use the Ellen Hutson Geo Tree – hard to believe that this was released almost five years ago! Time flies! I paired it with an Altenew frame die and a sentiment by Clearly Besotted.
I then spent far too long working out where to put my sentiment and then how to adorn said sentiment! In the end, I chose a sentiment from a Simon Says Stamp/Avery Elle Stamptember collaboration, a Sizzix bow and some ribbon!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
As you can see, I kept this super simple and super CAS! I used a die from my new Sugar Pea Designs Botanical Branches die set – I had been stalking the Seven Hills Crafts website waiting for them to get this in and I was so pleased to get my hands on it! I blended some regular distress ink over the die cut image and decided to leave the centres of the leave in situ. I then cut the long fishtail tag using a Simon Says Stamp die, stamped an Essentials by Ellen sentiment and adhered the botanical branch before adhering it to my card base.
The sentiment is from a Sugar Pea Designs set.

Hi everyone!
I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event again this year.
The sponsor for Day 5 was Ellen Hutson. I haven’t bought much from Ellen H in recent years, but when I saw the inspiration by Lindsey L I knew I had to pull out the Home & Hearth die set for my tag! I created my own stencil from post it notes to recreate the snow/paths and added a Neat & Tangled sentiment that I got in a set about 5 years ago!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!
Today I’m playing along with a new colour challenge, Color Hues! The palette is navy and turquoise.
I bought the gorgeous Lumina Layer die set by Birch Press Designs during lockdown and I finally played with it this weekend! Be warned, there will be more posts with this set coming soon!
I loved some of the designs created by Birch Press Design’s Design Team, especially Ardyth’s creations! She created one stunning card using alcohol markers to colour just the middle layer and I used that technique for this card. I adhered the layered stack to some navy cardstock which is a little darker than the navy petals and the Ellen Hutson sentiment is stamped in an Altenew turquoise which is slightly lighter than the turquoise petals. Such a fun card to create!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Everyone!
My crafty time has been compressed since the start of the year and I haven’t been able to play along with many challenges. Happily today, I had enough time to create a quick card and I decided to play along with the sketch challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches and combined it with the current Color Throwdown challenge (pink, yellow and blue).
I cut two panels I’d created from distress oxide inks with two dies from the Birch Press Design Sparkler butterfly die set. I then stamped a circle from the Essentials by Ellen set and applied some glitter paste through a Tim Holtz stencil to reflect the sketch. I adhered the butterfly and stamped a Clearly Besotted sentiment to complete my take for the challenges.
Thank for stopping by!
