Hi there!
Welcome to Day 4 of Heart Week!
My heart card today is my entry for the February challenge at The Flower Challenge where the theme is ‘add a heart’.
Today, I used the pretty, new to me Meadow blossom frame die and stencil set by Poppystamps – this was a joy to colour! I paired it with the Drifting Butterfly die and a sentiment by Memory Box.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
Welcome to Day 1 of Heart Week!
My heart card today is my entry for this week’s challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.
I chose Memory Box’s Banded Heart Locket die as my focal point. I don’t remember much about this die – which is really unusual for me – maybe I won it in a challenge… I don’t think I’ve ever used it before!
I cut it from some gold glitter paper and adhered some vellum behind it. I added a few hearts cut from a very old Simon Says Stamp/Kelly Purkey die set and a bow from the Memory Box Crisp Bows set for a subtle spot of colour.
The sentiment is from a Clearly Besotted set.
Thanks for stopping by!

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!

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!

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.

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.
Thanks for stopping by!
