Hello everyone!!

It’s been a busy bank holiday Monday for me – mainly dodging rain showers to cut my lawn! Fortunately I just managed to squeeze in time for my entry into the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I used a few images that I had already created during earlier crafty sessions – more images from Pinkfresh Studio’s beautiful Sakura stamp set that I used last month and that woodslice is by Stampin’ Up.

The fabulous embossing folder is the Rosette Burst by Spellbinders and the sentiment is by Sugar Pea Designs.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!!

Sadly my plans for cardmaking fell by the wayside over the last week/weekend. Life just got busy! Fortunately I carved out some crafty time this evening to play along with the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge.

I bought the kit for Spellbinders’ Weekender event in a few weekends time as I didn’t do the Pinkfresh event this month. Sadly they are on the US West coast time zone which means I won’t be able to attend most of the classes in real time but I hope that the class that uses this beautiful arch die set will be at a ‘friendly’ time!

I’m disappointed that the stencilled waves weren’t picked up in this photo but they are there!

The sentiment is by Simon Says Stamp.

Hello everyone!!

I was short on time today so chose a very quick CAS card using one element of the Spellbinders Patchwork embossing folder.

The flowery panel was slightly too short for my card base so I cut it and then adhered the Heffy Doodle sentiment die to hide the gap in the panel!

I added a few glittery butterflies from a Paper Rose Studio die set to complete my card.

Hi there!

For today’s super CAS card, I used a very new embossing folder by Spellbinders called Molded Frame plus a couple of Simply Graphic dies that I’ve had for a year or so.

I love this folder – very simple and absolutely perfect for showcasing a delicate image.

As I’m trying to build up my ‘mailable’ cards this month, I didn’t add a sentiment but will probably add one before I mail it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!

I have so many unused or seldom used products that I want to use so this month, I’m making a concerted effort to create with them. I’ve discovered that a number of my cards are too thick for the standard postage rate so I also want to make sure I make a few ‘mailable’ cards as I’d like a few more on hand!

I’m not sure I’ll be able to make a card a day so we’ll see how it goes but one thing I want to do is have fun – and that means no stressing about photography either. I do find it difficult to take decent photos of cards at times – especially the more traditional front-facing view. So at times there may be fewer photos in these posts – like today actually!

Speaking of today’s card, I used a few new Spellbinders products – the Blooming Stems die set and the Flourish embossing folder. The seal is made using a new die set by Waffle Flower Crafts. The sentiment is from an older Woodware set but the oldest product I used was the Glossy Accents on the edges of the seal – I’ve had it for years and couldn’t believe it still flowed. I have treated myself to a new bottle now though – and surprise surprise it was the same price as the one I bought at least 7 years ago!

I’m pleased because I used my card scraps for the stems and I like how they turned out! I’ve been colouring stems with ink recently, but may make more use of my scraps this month! I never intended to have a blue background – I was literally just testing the layout against my embossing folder swatch when I realised the colours worked so I went with it… I need to do a new swatch now though!

Thanks for stopping by!

Egg Week 2025 Day 2

Hi there!

It’s Day 2 of LucieG’s Egg Week 2025!

Today I used the Big Egg die set by Reverse Confetti. I actually tried this with several different papers and colours but in the end I chose this version with some beautiful My Mind’s Eye paper. The background is a Spellbinders folder and the bow is from a new Simon Says Stamp set.
