Heart Week 2025 – Day 4

Hi there!

Welcome to Day 3 of Heart Week 2025!

My heart card today is my entry for the challenges hosted by Simon Says Stamp this week. The theme of Monday’s challenge is ‘bright and cheerful’ and Wednesday’s challenge is  ‘love is in the air’. I think this card fits both! I’m also entering this into a brand new challenge called The Neglected Stuff Challenge. The main image in the card is a coverplate die from Simon Says Stamp called floating hearts. It’s dated 2014 and I think I picked it up in 2015 or 2016 when it was in their sale section. I really thought I had used this die before but I can’t find a card with it on my blog. Maybe I created something before I started this blog back in 2017. In any case, I think that we can all agree it is most definitely neglected, poor thing!

I cut it from some speciality paper by Tonic Studios and adhered it to a layer cut from thicker card. This was a bit fiddly so I think I would adhere the paper to the card first before die cutting if I were to do this again! Anyway, I used foam tape to adhere it to a panel cut from ombre glitter card (also by Tonic). Oh how I love this glitter card! It’s so pretty! I only wish the cardstock dimensions were smaller so I could get the full range of the ombre onto a cardbase. Maybe I should suggest that to Tonic!

I love the texture that the speciality paper has given the little hearts. I also added a few punched dots of glitter card here and there.

The sentiment is from a set by Waffle Flower Crafts.

Heart Week 2025 – Day 3

Hi there!

Welcome to Day 3 of Heart Week 2025!

A very quick CAS card from me today – it’s not that I didn’t have time to craft – rather that I didn’t have much room to craft – the craftermath on my table is crazy.

I used an older Impression Obsession die plus a wood-mounted sentiment stamp that I picked up a few years ago.

Heart Week 2025 – Day 2

Hi there!

Welcome to Day 2 of Heart Week 2025!

My heart card today is my entry for this week’s challenge at The Paper Players where the theme is ‘love is in the air’.

A little order from Simon Says Stamp arrived this morning and I could not wait to play with one item in particular – the Birch Press Design Block Print Hummingbird die set. I loved this as soon as I saw the release (isn’t is tail fab?). I couldn’t find any UK stockists for this release so Simons to the rescue!

I cut the dies from a few different papers and then adhered them together. I paired it with an older Simon Says Stamp die called Clipping Heart and added a few of the little punched hearts from yesterday’s card. The sentiment is from a Spellbinders set.

Embossed cherry blooms

Hello again!

I’m back with my entry for this week’s Color Throwdown challenge. What a lovely spring palette this week – blue, pink and yellow.

I picked up the beautiful Cherry Blossom embossing folder and die set from Simon Says Stamp last November and it seemed perfect for this challenge. What a joy it was to use – the embossing is so deep!!

I created three ink blended panels and die cut the blossom shapes from the pink and yellow panels before embossing them. I embossed the blue panel and adhered it to my card base before attaching the die cut blossoms and adding a little gold stickles.

The sentiment die and stamp are also by Simon Say Stamp.

30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 18

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.

The challenge for Day 18 is another sketch.

I bought this large Simon Says Stamp bauble die back at my first Create in 2015. It was a low key event compared to how it is nowadays but I absolutely LOVED it!

Anyway, I used it with some more Tonic Ombre glitter card and pulled out my old Darice and Sizzix 2D embossing folders.

Thanks for stopping by!

30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 16

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.

The theme of Day 16’s challenge is ‘mistletoe mischief’.

When I saw the theme, I immediately thought I would use a Memory Box die that I use every festive season, but when I was going through my box looking for it, I spotted the lovely Mistletoe Branches dies by Waffle Flower Crafts and decided I should use that instead. I paired it with a Waffle Flower bag die and a Simon Says Stamp embossing folder.

The sentiment is by Mama Elephant.
