Hello everyone!
Happy Heart Day! Today I’m playing along with the photo challenge at the Inspirational challenge blog.
I chose the beautiful Floral Bouquet die by Memory Box and coloured it with distress inks and coloured pencils. The background embossing folder is also by Memory Box and the sentiment is by Savvy Stamps.

Hello everyone!
Tday I’m playing along in the Color Throwdown challenge with a Valentine’s card using non-traditional colours!
I received an order from Simon Says Stamp this morning – I picked up a few of their embossing folders in a sale last month! Anyway, I could not wait to play, so I misted the reverse of some satin cardstock and got embossing with the Pinpoint Starlets folder. I love the deep embossing folders but I am very careful after the Great Pinecone Plethora Trauma of 2021! Anyway, I have found it easier to put a cutting plate on top of the embossing folder rather than below it – I find it ensures this satin cardstock stays in place.
I left the cardstock dry and die cut the hearts using a few Memory Box heart dies. I then adhered the Poppystamps Doodle Happy Valentine’s Day on the gold heart before sticking all the hearts onto the embossed base. I have to say this was very difficult to photograph but I got there in the end!
The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge has a theme of embossing this week, so I’m also entering this card over there!

HI everyone!
Today’s card was made for the colour challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches – which has a very Valentines-inspired palette!
I used dies by Memory Box and Sugar Pea Designs and the focal point is actually cut from the centre of a Memory Box embossing folder. I added a sentiment by Savvy Stamps.

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!

Hello everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the colour challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches.
It’s a fun festive palette so I decided to try out a new-to-me colouring technique using alcohol markers to colour the fabulous new Memory Box Curled Holly Branch die. I think I still prefer using my distress inks to colour die cuts but I’m definitely going to practice this technique a little more.
The sentiment is by My Favorite Things.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Saturday everyone!
First up today is my entry for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
Following the sketch, I created the central panel on my card using my rather dry Nuvo glitter paste and an Echo Park Paper stencil. While that was drying, I pulled out my Memory Box Stitched Pumpkin dies which I haven’t used for a while. I coloured them with distress inks – although the sketch only has two circles, I decided to throw caution to the wind and put all three on my card! I then stamped a sentiment from the My Monthly Hero Kit from September 2018 and adhered all the elements to my card base.
Thanks for stopping by!
