Technique – die cutting

Featuring die cutting

Day 3 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020

Hi there!

I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event this year.

The sponsor for Day 3 was Altenew. I love Altenew and have all their inks and quite a few older florals and dies… but I don’t have much from their recent releases. However, I still managed to use some Altenew product for this card.

I loved the tags made by the creative team and decided to use Norine‘s inspiration for my take. The embossed sentiment, base tag and fronds are by Altenew and I also used dies by Poppystamps.

Thanks for stopping by!

Day 2 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags event again this year.

The sponsor for Day 2 was Simon Says Stamp – all the inspiration was amazing, but as I’m short on time, I decided to use Barbara Tarayao.’s die cut tag as my inspiration.

My base tag is by Altenew and all other dies used here are by Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for stopping by!

Autumn Bounty

Hi everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Card Concept challenge.

They have a beautiful autumn scene for their inspiration – I was particularly drawn to the colours of the hydrangea flowers – mine are just like that right now. I love that hydrangea flowers are so pretty even after their summer moment of glory! Anyway, here is my card using dies by Memory Box, Concord & 9th and Penny Black.

Thanks for stopping by!

Ghost Hugs

Happy Halloween everyone!

Here’s a quick card I made with the My Favorite Things Fab-boo-lous Friends stamp set and a wonderful background die by Winnie & Walter. I’ve been very drawn to cards with bright pink backgrounds recently so I HAD to do one of my own!

Thanks for stopping by!

Colourful Tall Trees

Happy Friyay everyone!

Today I’m playing along with the Color Throwdown! The palette this week is kraft, red, green and chartreuse.

I immediately thought of the chartreuse colour burst and knew I had to create a card using that! I created a few inky backgrounds and used the Tall Tree dies from the Stamp Market to cut a few trees. I LOVE this die and was stalking my UK retailer until the die went live on the site and snapped it up straightaway!

I added a few splashes of kraft paint at the tree bases and die cut some kraft stars and dots to add to the sky. The sentiment is stamped in Frayed Burlap distress oxide and is by Mama Elephant.

Thanks for stopping by!
