Hi there!
So, today’s card was intended for the Time Out Birthday challenge but sadly I got the closing time wrong!
I used my fabulous new Waffle Flower Crafts Geometric Cover Plate on the card base and added some Stickles.
The branch is from Altenew’s Weekend Doodle set and coloured with my Twinkling H2Os.
The sentiment is by Sugar Pea Designs .

Happy Tuesday Everyone!
Today’s card of for the embossing folder challenge called ‘Can You Handle the Pressure‘ where the twist is spring.
I’ve used the beautiful Domed Window Folder by Memory Box – it embosses a beautiful window frame and also cuts out the window panes too. I waited a LONG time for this one (bought in October and finally arrived in January), but it was worth the wait.
I created a window box using the fabulous Springtime Border (Memory Box) plus the Grand Flower Box (Poppystamps). As I was assembling the card, I felt it was lacking a little something so I added a little Simply Graphic kitty!
The sentiment is also by Memory Box.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hello again everyone!
Next up today I’m playing along in the sketch challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches using dies from the Flower Stems set by Waffle Flower Crafts.
After colouring the dies cuts with Distress Oxide inks and coloured pencil, I cut an oval from my card base. I then adhered a piece of vellum embossed using the Simon Says Stamp Geometric Lattice embossing folder.
Finally I added a sentiment by Sugar Pea Designs, some sequins and stickles.

Hello everyone!
Today I’m playing along in the Freshly Made Sketches challenge.
I love that this week’s sketch is so open to interpretation – leave that big central panel blank.. or use an embossing folder… or add a focal point… or… I had so many ideas!
In the end, I chose to use some of my patterned paper mountain and the Stamp Market’s Ready to Bloom cover die.
The sentiment is from an old Simon Says Stamp set.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Saturday!
Today I’m playing along in the Color Throwdown challenge which has a fabulous palette of orange, turquoise, green and kraft.
A few weeks ago Simon Says Stamp released a new Chinese Lantern die, with inspiration from lots of designers, in particular the super talented Cindy. As a result, I was itching to play with a Poppystamps Chinese Lantern die that I bought about 5 years ago. I haven’t used it for a while, which is a shame because I love Chinese lanterns. Anyway, for my card, I coloured it with distress inks and added vellum (coloured with distress ink and pencil) behind each individual lantern. My blended background is a bit darker in real life – it’s a mix of Tumbled Glass and Broken China inks. The vase is by Waffle Flower Crafts and the sentiment is by Altenew.

Happy Friyay everyone!
Today I’m playing along in the Just Us Girls challenge which has a fun inspiration photo this week!
I’ve had this fun Bunny die by Marianne Designs in my collection for YEARS but I hadn’t put it with my Easter supplies so always forgot about it… until now! For my card, I used it with a couple of Poppystamps dies – the Country Basket set and the fabulously versatile Floral Cluster die, which I coloured with distress oxide inks.
Thanks for stopping by!
