Day 9 – 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 9 was Pink & Main – they have some super cute stamps but sadly this is another brand which is under represented in my festive supplies!

The inspiration tags were wonderful and Lindsey L’s striking tag really caught my eye. As soon as I saw that blinged-out edging, I knew I had to give it a go! Let me tell you, it was VERY fiddly, but I’m glad I spent the time on this, I just love how sparkly it is!

The llama stamp is by Neat & Tangled and I used another Mama Elephant sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by!

Day 8 – 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 8 was Avery Elle. I love Avery Elle stamps and dies and as soon as I saw that Maria Peters had used the Snow Globe set, I knew I had to ink my set up again!!

I decided to use a different colour palette for the night sky – I’ve been seeing the picked raspberry/seedless preserves combo a lot on instagram this year and I really love that vibrant colour!

The sentiment is by Mama Elephant and carefully hides a poorly stamped sentiment on the base of the globe!

Thanks for stopping by!

AAA Cards sketch challenge with primary colours twist

Hi there!

It’s time for another challenge at AAA Cards!  This fortnight we’d like you to create a CAS card using the sketch below and if you want to join with our optional twist, please use primary colours only! Our sponsor is Funky Fossil Designs.

For the main image, I used a much loved and rather old cling stamp by Unity Stamp Co. When I bought this, the Misti hadn’t been created and I found it quite difficult to get decent ink coverage using just a clear block! The Misti has made stamping so much easier! The die that I used to create the vertical stripe is by Concord & 9th.

My team mates have come up with some beautiful cards which are on the AAA Cards challenge blog. We are also joined a previous challenge winner, Granne, who has some lovely cards on her blog – go check it out!!

Hope you can play along with us!

Thanks for stopping by!

Day 4 – 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 4 was Newton’s Nook. I love Newton so I had a lot of choice when it came to choosing supplies for this tag! I loved the inspiration tags and decided to use one created by Kim for my inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by!

Day 1 – 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020

Hi everyone!

Last year, I played along with Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags for the third year in a row. I was pretty busy with work and travel so didn’t manage to create 26 tags, but I made 20 which was still enough for my 2019 gifts!

I’m so happy to see the event is back again this year! Once again, each day has a sponsor and I am going to try to use products from each sponsor wherever I can.

Sunny Studio was the sponsor for Day 1. I really like their layering stamps and once their Christmas layering stamps are back in stock at my UK retailer, I’m going to buy them!

For my first tag, I decided to use Cheryl Nutti‘s inspiration. The stamps I used are by Sunny Studio and by Hero Arts.

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!
