Hello everyone and welcome to Day 2 of Christmas in July 2021!
Today I’m playing along with the current sketch challenge over at The Paper Players . For this very CAS take, I used the fabulous Poppystamps Whittle Reindeer die with a Memory Box sentiment and a Creative Expressions embossing folder.

Hi there everyone!
Today I’m using my brand new Poppystamps Fern and Daisy Pop up Easel die set that I bought last week. This was quite a splurge so I wanted to make sure I used it straightaway! I thought that it would be perfect for the colour combo from this week’s Color Throwdown challenge (pink, orange, green and purple).
I coloured the die cuts with various distress inks and then added a glittery Simon Says Stamp sentiment.

Hi there!
It’s time for another challenge at AAA Cards! This fortnight we’d like you to create a CAS card using the sketch below and if you want to join with our optional twist, please add a critter or two!
For the background, I used a fun older cling stamp by Create-A-Smile – this one went AWOL in my craft room for a while but luckily I just found it in an unlabelled box of cling stamps! The Jellyfish and circle dies are by Poppystamps and I added part of a Reverse Confetti sentiment to complete my card.
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, Cornelia, who has some fabulous inky inspiration on her blog – go check it out!!
Hope you can play along with us!
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Friyay everyone!
So, as I was indulging in a little crafty retail therapy today, I remembered that I bought a beautiful Adriana Poppystamps foliage die last month and hadn’t yet used it! So I knew I wanted to change that this weekend! I thought that it would work well with the colour combo from this week’s Color Throwdown challenge (red, green, kraft and pink).
I coloured the die cut with distress ink and then added the Memory Box seed stems and the Just Because Posh Script sentiment.

Hello everyone!
Today I’m playing along with the Poppystamps challenge where the theme is flowers and butterflies! Two of my favourites! I can’t believe I only saw the theme at the end of the month – the challenge closes tonight so I made it just in time!
I used quite a few dies from my Poppystamps collection: the main image is the Blooming Branches Sidekick frame and stencil set, then I used the Dervyn Butterfly Trio and Emelia Butterfly Trio. Finally I added the freehand Happy Spring sentiment – althoughit has been super warm here today, technically it is still spring until mid June after all!
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Saturday friends!
It’s been a long time since I last played in a Simon Says Stamp blog challenge but the Wednesday challenge theme is ‘dies or punches’ with Memory Box products being showcased. Well of course I HAD to play along didn’t I?!
I used a couple of old dies and one newer one for my take on the challenge theme – the Grand Flower Box by Poppystamps plus the beautiful Spring border – which is celebrating its tenth birthday this year! Yep this beautiful die is from 2011! I coloured the die cuts with distress inks and then added a die cut from the 2020 Cherry Blossom branches set on top of the box.
The sentiment is also by Memory Box.
Thanks for stopping by!
