Bubble Bauble

Happy Friyay everyone!

I’m so excited that my Simon Says Stamp order arrived very quickly this month! I couldn’t wait to start playing with my new Ornate Ornaments stamps!

I was totally inspired by this card by the super talented Gayatri and had to CASE it! I stamped the ornament several times and coloured them using my Prismacolor pencils. I still felt the card needed something a little ‘more’ so I added some orange dots. I covered some of the bubbles with Tonic Studios Nuvo Crystal Glaze and then finished off the card with a die cut sentiment also by Simon Says Stamp.

I’m entering this into the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – anything goes.

Thanks for stopping by!

Day 1 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2018

Hi everyone!

Last year, I played along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags for the first time. I was so happy to complete 25 tags during November 2017 and it made a HUGE difference to my Christmas preparations…. and stress levels!

I’m so happy to see the event is back again this year! Once again, each day has a sponsor and I am going to try to use products from each sponsor wherever I can.

Simon Says Stamp was the sponsor for Day 1 and once again the inspiration tags were amazing. In the end, I chose to combine the tags made by Lorraine Aquilina and Lin Brandyberry. All dies and stamps are by Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!

Feel the joy of the season

Hello everyone!

Today I have a card I made using one of my favourite Penny Black dies and the Simon Says Stamp/Gina K Stamptember stamp set.

I started playing with my new distress oxide inks and the row of fir trees stamp and never really intended to use it for a card… but I really liked how it turned out….

So I simply trimmed down the panel and added some snow using Tim Holtz/Ranger Grit paste, which I hoped would stay an opaque white, but the colour of the ink is starting to discolour it a little I think…

Anyway, I then added the fabulous Penny Black snowman and a sentiment from the set and hey presto, a card from my practice stamping!!

I’m linking this up to the Penny Black Holiday challenge.

Have a great Sunday, all!

Joyful Wishes

So today I have been playing with my new goodies and made a card for the current Color Throwdown challenge which has a palette of green, kraft and white.

I used a background stamp and sentiment die from Simon Says Stamp together with a cute deer from Poppystamps’ ‘Whittle’ series. Isn’t he cute?

I’m also entering this into the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge where the theme is ‘animal kingdom’ and the Simon Says Stamp Flickr challenge (‘anything goes’).

Thanks for stopping by!

Tribute to Melissa

Hello everyone

I was shocked and so very saddened to learn of the passing of my sweet AAA teammate and friend, Melissa Lane, on 2 October. She was such a kind-hearted and modest soul who was devoted to Jesus and her beloved family. My heart goes out to all of them at this terrible time.

Today my AAA Cards teammates have joined with STAMPlorations to celebrate Melissa’s artistic and creative talents. Melissa’s favourite colour was red and she loved butterflies and we’d like to invite you to join us in celebrating her life by creating a butterfly card in her memory.

The AAA blog post has full details about where you can share the card that you create and how you can send it to Melissa’s family.

Rest in peace my friend. You are so missed.

Stamptember fun!

HI there!

So.. September was a crazy month and I didn’t have much time for crafting, not even when my Stamptember products arrived from Simon Says Stamp! Pretty disappointing!

I’ve finally had time to sit down at my craft table and guess what… my mojo had gone AWOL. So annoying!

Anyway, I EVENTUALLY made a card with the SSS Festive Trees set. I loved this set and this particular stamp when I saw it in August sneak peaks! There are four trees which are fun to colour.
