Hi Friends!

Popping in with a card for you all, inspired by a few challenges:

I got this gorgeous background stitched pink card as a pressie from my crafting friend Joyce-thank you Joyce!

It is gorgeous but the it was hard to photo to show how good it looks IRL-it gives so much detail to the card-I love it.

The flower is from Happy Little Stampers and the sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. The banner from Winnie and Walter

Hi All

If you follow my blog regularly, you might want to sit down!!

I have a card for you today where I have used masking, cute images and colouring....yep, I really have!

Here goes....giggling allowed!!

I know, unusual for me but it was fun to make an does make me smile!

It was inspired by the challenge 'smile' at CASology and the 'use a third and optional masking' at AAA-I masked each of the guards.

I had this My Favorite Things set sat on my desk as I just got it as a gift from my crafty friend Lisa and saw the sentiment and 'pop' the idea for this card came to me!!

I sure hope it made you smile...even if it was at me trying to mask and colour!!

Enjoy your day x

    

WWC205 Donna's 'All About Holidays' Challenge

Hi All

This is my last challenge as Guest Designer for Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.
I have been joining the team all of January and had a lot of fun.
I hope I was able to inspire you.

This week we are all about 'Holidays' and I went with Christmas-never too early to start!

And my card:

I used the now retired Verve Stamps and just heat embossed the sentiment onto a panel. I also heat embossed the dove. I added a rustic look by distressing the edges of the panels.This was a little nod to Julee who was the designer and owner of Verve stamps-she makes the most beautiful cards with layers, ribbons etc and often adds a rustic feel to her cards....so Julee this was my CAS nod to you-and thanks for inspiring me!

Time to pop over to Watercooler Wednesday and have a look at all the inspiration from the team.

Thank you Heidi and all the team for inviting me to design with you in January. It has been a lot of fun x

Inkspirational #178

Hi All

And welcome to our first challenge at Inksprational for 2019.

This challenge has been chosen by our fabulous teamie Anila.

She wants us to make a card using:

Kraft

Here is what I came up with:

I used the background full floral stamp by CAS-ual Fridays-heat embossed onto the the kraft card. I die cut the 'smile' sentiment from this-also CAS-ual Fridays. Then die cut the sentiment again in fun foam to add dimension and used a burghaundy card base before the kraft base.

Have a look at the amazing DT kraft projects here and then get crafty and join us.

Enjoy!

Let is Snow!

Hi There

Snow is forecast here so here is my card today inspired by a few challenges and I decided to go with my 'one layer, stamp and go' card-you know these are my fav cards to make:

I have added texture here using my linen embossing plate but it is hard to see in the photo-a little dull here in London!

All these stamps are from Happy Little Stamper and stamped with my now favourite inks from Catherine Pooler 

The layout comes from Freshly Made Sketches

I used the blues so it really fitted the 'Frozen' challenge at CASology

And the 'Snowflake' challenge at Addicted to CAS

Have a fun day x

     

WWC203 Karen's ''All About Occasions' Challenge

Hi All

This is my second Guest Design card for Watercooler Wednesday Challenge. This time it is Karen's ''All About Occasions' Challenge.

I made this card that could be used for so many Occasions.

This is actually a CASE of blogging friend Jeanne-she sent me this die from Poppy Stamps for Christmas and the Xmas card she made inspired me to make this card. I don't usually make cards with such detail but loved her Xmas card and this idea for my card just wouldn't go away-so I gave it a go and love how it turned out-so thank you Jeanne!

All the Design Team have made amazing cards-check them out here and then join in the fun!
