Floral Bouquet Heart

Hi there!

I hereby declare this week Heart Week! I have so many neglected heart dies and stamps that I want to use so I’m going to try to create a card with a heart or two every day this week… we’ll see how that goes!

In the meantime, first up is my entry for the Color Throwdown challenge which has a fun palette of green, blue and kraft.

I used the beautiful Memory Box Floral Heart Bouquet die which I coloured with alcohol makers and coloured pencils. I added some foam tape to the top centre of the heart so that it has a little bit of dimension.

I added heart trim to the card base using a Sugar Pea Designs border die and a sentiment from a Spellbinders set.

To complete my card I added a few pearls.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sparkly Snowfall

Hi again everyone!

Next up today is the card I made for the Memory Box Snowfall challenge.

I started by creating a blended panel using regular distress inks. I then cut the beautiful Silent Snowflake Frame die from glitter card and adhered to my card base. I cut the Alpine Snowflake from holographic card and adhered to the centre of the card.

To complete my card, I added a sentiment from an older set by The Ton Stamps and  a few gems.

Thanks for stopping by!

Colourful Nordic Flourishes

Hi there!

Today I’m playing along in the Color Throwdown challenge which has a fun palette of red, navy and pink.

I have to confess that I spent some time today trying to come up with a design for these colours! In the end, I decided to use the Poppystamps Nordic Flourishes die set that I picked up just after Christmas.

I cut the dies from three different Craft Consortium papers and then spent far too long arranging the elements on my card base! I realised that I needed to work around my sentiment (Hello Cursive Script Circle by Memory Box) and it actually became much easier to get a layout once that was in place!

To complete my card I added a few pearls.

A festive colour challenge indeed

Happy Festive Friyay!

Today I’m playing along with the current colour challenge over at the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown!

And what a challenge it is! Yellow, orange and red! Typical autumn colours for LucieG! When I saw the combo, all I could think of was my Christmas in July 2022 failed card which used similar colours and which I repurposed into this autumnal card….. I was determined to make a Christmas card this time that I would not repurpose later!

After looking through my dies, I decided to use an older My Favorite Things die set of three stockings which I coloured using distress inks. It’s a simple die set of three stocking images but I wanted a little something extra, so I die cut them again from textured paper, trimmed sections and adhered to each stocking.

I added thin card strips to my card base and then adhered a Memory Box branch die cut. I hung the stockings from the branch and secured them with foam tape. Finally I added a sentiment from a My Favourite Stamps set.

Perky Flower

Hi everyone!

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

I’m continuing to make my way through my ‘new stuff’ box and so after testing a few other dies I chose the Simon Says Stamp Perky Flower die set that I got in their Thanksgiving sale – so not super old!

I tried all sorts of things for the background strips – die cuts, inky strips… but in the end I chose this older Bubble Burst Memory Box die which I adhered on a card base that I’d painted light blue.

The sentiment is also by Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cabin Snowglobe

Happy Festive Friyay everyone!

It’s almost the big day and I just couldn’t resist playing along with this week’s 52 Christmas card challenge where the theme is snow globe.

I used the Poppystamps Cabin Snowglobe pop up easel die set for my take on the challenge theme. Unfortunately, a couple of the tree dies were missing from my set when I bought it but I used my brand new Layered Evergreen Trees die set by Memory Box instead. I coloured all my images with distress inks and the sentiment is also by Memory Box.

I’m also going to enter this into the Poppystamps Cool Yule challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!
