Egg Week 2025 Day 5

Hi there!

It’s Day 5 of LucieG’s Egg Week 2025! Today I’m playing with an older product that I bought in a sale last year plus a brand new die.

The older die set is the Egg Carton set by Reverse Confetti. I coloured the carton with distress ink and then cut the eggs from my beloved Basic Grey patterned paper.

I’m really loving lace products at the moment and when I saw the new  Mama Elephant Caly Circle Lace die set, I had to get it! Isn’t it fabulous cut from vellum?

The sentiment is by Taylored Expressions.

Colourful Coneflowers

Happy Monday everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown which has a colourful combo of pink, green, magenta and white.

A few months ago my friend, the talented cardmaker Trina shared a beautiful coneflower card.  As a result, when I spotted the Taylored Expressions Cornflower dies, I snapped them up!

I finally used them this weekend – I thought the challenge colour combo would be perfect! I paired them with a Mama Elephant frame and a sentiment by Karen Burniston.

Day 5 – 6 Days of Christmas Tags 2022

 

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. Unfortunately I only had time to make six tags this year.

Day 5’s inspiration is Day 17, 2018. Click here to see the tag I made then!

I had so much fun with this tag! I chose a circle die from Simon Says Stamp and images by Mama Elephant.

CAS Christmas Guest Designer August 2022

Hi there!

I am so delighted to be a Guest Designer for this month’s CAS Christmas Challenge.  The theme this month is ‘pine’.

For my CAS card, I used The Greetery’s Pine Botanicuts die set! I love this set so much! I adhered it to a wood slice die cut (also be the Greetery) and added a Penny Black sentiment and Sizzix bow.

The CAS Christmas DT has come up with some amazing inspiration over on the challenge blog. I hope you can play along!

AAA Cards Along the edge with snowflakes twist

Hello everyone!

It’s also time for another challenge at AAA Cards!  This fortnight we’d like you to create a CAS card using just an edge of your card. Our optional twist is ‘snowflakes’.

I always seem to use blues and purples with white when I make snowflake cards so I’ve changed it up today and have used kraft! All products are by Penny Black – I used the snowflake edger die from the Spirited die set (51-721) – the partial snowflakes on the edger die are replicated in full in the Dancing Snowflakes die (51-708), so I cut them out and added them on top using tiny bits of foam. Finally, I stamped a sentiment from the When Snow Falls sentiment set (30-881) before adhering this to my kraft card base.

My team mates have come up with some beautiful cards which are on the AAA Cards challenge blog. We are also joined a previous challenge winner, Jane, who has some sweet inspiration on her instagram feed!

Hope you can play along with us!

Pinecone Bundle

Happy Sunday everyone!

Today I’m playing along with this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge .

I cut and coloured the Memory Box Smooth Pinecones and Antique Pine label dies. I snipped off the label section of the die so that I had two separate pine branches. I adhered a couple of patterned paper strips to my card base before arranging my die cuts on top. Finally I added a Mama Elephant sentiment and a few pearls.

Thanks for stopping by!
