Hello everyone!
Just a quick post with my entry for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches.
I used a whole host of products by different manufacturers for this one! The Nordic Fanfare Butterfly and Nordic Butterfly Trio dies are by Poppystamps. I used a Simon Says Stamp embossing folder and Basic Grey paper for the background layers and the sentiment is by Taylored Expressions.

Hello everyone!
Next up today is my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
I knew I wanted to use the sweet Oh Bunny set by Simon Says Stamp for my take and I love Lisa Addesa’s clever card using this set so decided to incorporate her inspiration into my take on the sketch.
I used a couple of dies from the My Favorite Things Stitched Domes STAX die set to cut a window in my card base and a separate base for my bunny scene. I blended distress ink over the larger dome and then stamped, cut and coloured the largest bunny image from the stamp set.
I blended various green distress inks on a panel of white card which I then cut using a couple of Lawn Fawn grass dies. I then adhered the grass die cuts to the outside of the card and the bunny scene to the inside of my card. I adhere some white mini pompoms to each bunny.
To complete my card, I added a Memory Box sentiment.

Hi there!
Welcome to Day 6 of Heart Week!
My heart card today is my entry for the colour challenge at the Color Throwdown which has a palette of blue, lime and brown.
My focal point today is one of my oldest Simon Says Stamp die sets – the Heart Wreath die which dates from 2014! I can’t believe this die is ten years old! I can’t remember when I bought it but I do know I’ve had it a while.. maybe eight years or so. I went back into the Simons gallery to get some inspiration and found this beautiful card by the talented Debby Hughes.
I coloured the wreath, leaves and hearts with distress inks and cut a vellum tag using a die from the Stitched Banners set. I adhered everything to a background that I’d stamped with a 2018 stamp (Modern Rose Blooms). I then added a Poppystamps sentiment (Doodle Happy Valentine’s Day) and a sprig by Memory Box (Sylvan Sprig).
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
Welcome to Day 5 of Heart Week!
What happens when Heart Week and Festive Friday collide? Well, you get my heart card today for starters – and it’s my entry for the sketch challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.
My focal point today is a pretty tree from the Simon Says Stamp Festive Trees set, coloured using my Twinkling H2O paints. I cut the hearts from the Bundled Hearts set by Memory Box and adhered all images to a card base that I’d sponged with Tumbled Glass distress ink. I also stencilled a few hearts using an older Simon Says Stamp stencil
To complete my card, I added stamped sentiment from a My Favorite Things set.

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!

Happy Festive Friyay!
Today I’m playing along with the current theme challenge over at the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown!
I finally got my hands on Simon Says Stamp Berry Wreath dies set after their Thanksgiving sale last year and used it just once – for my mum’s Christmas card. So naturally I thought of it as soon as I saw the challenge theme. Although it’s only been a month since Christmas, I was VERY excited to play with this die set again.
I coloured all the die cuts with distress ink and adhered it to a base that I had embossed with a Spellbinders folder.
The sentiment is by Savvy Stamps.
Thanks for stopping by!
