Butterflies for a friend

Hello everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the first Freshly Made Sketches challenge of 2025.

It’s a wonderful sketch which has a snowflake shape as the focal point, but having spent a lot of time on seasonal cards (which I LOVED), I was very ready to do something a bit different.

I chose a large butterfly die from a Spellbinders set and coloured it using the coordinating stencil. I cut and dry embossed a butterfly body from the set and I adhered the image to a pearlescent panel that I had embossed with a Spellbinders folder.  I added a few Pinkfresh Studio washi butterflies to the large butterfly, reflecting the sketch.

Finally I added a Pinkfresh Studio sentiment and a few sequins to complete my card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Boutique

Hello Everyone!

Just popping in with a mini card that I wanted to share at Christmas, but that was delayed due to a migraine!

Anyway, I picked up the Christmas Boutique die set in Spellbinders’ pre-Christmas sale and was thrilled to receive it just before Christmas. This was not on my wish list at all, but it was a real bargain so I just had to get it! I’m so glad I did as it was an absolute joy to use! I know some people may find all the little die cutting a bit fiddly but I love die cutting and colouring so I was in my element!

Thanks for stopping by!

Peaceful pine

Hello Everyone!

Back in July, I made the decision to make cards to send out this Christmas – and Today Me is very happy that I did that because now I can just craft for fun in December! Of course I seem to be making Christmas cards for all the challenges that I’m now entering, but that’s ok because there’s no pressure!

Today’s card is my entry in this week’s Color Throwdown challenge which has a combo of green, red and cream. Classic Christmas colours!

I used the beautiful Delicate Pine Frame die set by Memory Box, coloured with distress inks. The background was made using the Spellbinders July 2024 Club 3D embossing folder called Branches and Berries.

The sentiment is by Mama Elephant.

30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 29

Hi everyone!

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

The theme of Day 29’s challenge is ‘holiday post’. Aha! Perfect opportunity for me to use the US mailbox die set from the Spellbinders 2022 Advent calendar!

Spellbinders also released a mailbox die set that year and I have some of the foliage elements dies that were part of the release. They were actually a little too big for this mail box, which is the perfect size for my CAS style! The foliage I used is from a company called Find-It.

The sentiment is by Mama Elephant.

30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 23

Hi everyone!

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

The challenge for Day 23 is another sketch and I had so much fun with this one!

The large joy bauble is a Hero Arts bargain which I backed with some amazing Tonic Studios speciality paper.

The smaller baubles were created with The Greetery’s Curio Attic Ornaments die set and coloured with distress ink.

The sentiment is by My Favorite Things and the background folder is by Spellbinders.

Thanks for stopping by!
