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.
Thanks for stopping by!

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.
Thanks for stopping by!

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.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!
Just popping in quickly with my entry for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge!
I’m having problems with my connection at the moment and I don’t want to miss the challenge deadline so I will be back later to fill in the details!
Edited to add: Now that I’ve entered the challenge, I can upload a few more photos and share a bit more about my card!
Memory Box’s new release arrived at Bumbleberry’s last week and I could not wait to order a few die sets! The Fringed Flowers set really stood out to me – I love the irregularity of the flowers, I don’t think I’ve got anything else like them at all! I cut them from Craft Consortium paper but used some different centres as I wanted something that was a little irregular and the centres in the die set seemed too perfect to my eye! I adhered the flowers to some white vellum and then turned my attention to the card base.
I spotted a white heat-embossed image in my ‘unused’ box and decided to trim that down for the background centre panel. I think the stamp is an older Hero Arts image. I dotted glue to the vellum behind the fringed flowers and adhered it to my panel and card base.
Finally I added a few gems – but no sentiment because time was short. I may add a sentiment under the vellum panel when I send it out, we’ll see!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone!
Just popping in quickly with a card I made for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
When I saw the sketch, I knew I wanted to work with either butterflies or birds – no surprise that butterflies won!
I used washi images by Pinkfresh Studio and a sentiment by Sugar Pea designs.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
Next up today is my take on this week’s fabulous sketch at the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I just love all those layers!
After trying a few items, I decided to use the Paper Rose Studio Little Foliage Circle die as my focal point. I cut it several times and coloured it with various inks. I decided to cut and layer the little flowers rather than mask them and while I was adhering them I remembered that I had coloured in purple last time I used the die – back in 2021! Cutting and adhering the flowers was MUCH quicker I think!
I used a Spellbinders embossing folder for one panel and some Craft Consortium paper for the larger strip in the sketch – I blended some purple ink over the paper so that it would tie in with my inked flowers!
The sentiment is by The Ton Stamps.
Thanks for stopping by!
