Super Excited!

Hi All

Just popping in to share some exciting news with you.

I have been chosen to join the Monthly CAS design team at Happy Little Stampers. Thank you so much Kylie for this fabulous opportunity.

I am a major fan of HLS stamps and am so pleased to be joining the CAS team. The DT already has superb designers and I feel very privileged to be joining them. There are also some other new members of the team-check them out here

My first card for this team will be in January 2017.

I hope you will play along with us.

Purple Peace

Hi All

I am back with another Christmas card.

Today I have a card inspired by the 'Purple and Gold' at Less is More and the peace challenge at One Layer Simplicity Challenge plus the sketch at Sovushka Slavia

I had the idea to use this burst stamp from The Ton as a wreath for a while but hadn't got around to giving it a go. Finally I have stamped it up with gold delicata ink and simply stamped the 'peace' sentiment, added a few gems, enamel dots, rounded the corner and done!

I think it works as a wreath in gold...next time I will choose green to give it a more traditional feel.

I would like to say a goodbye to Chrissie at LIM for giving us so many wonderful challenges, you will be missed. I am sure Sarah and the team will take this challenge over in style and make Chrissie very proud.

Have a fun day x

Faux Metal Joy.

Hi There,

Today my card was inspired by the Kimberly's card at Muse: Christmas Visions. I loved this card and made my own version:

I am sure you can see I was inspired by:

-the layout

-the colours

-the sentiment

I just swapped these elements around and instead of the black die I gave a little nod to the black by adding a few sequins and gems.

The 'Joy' element is made using the 'faux metal' technique I learnt from watching this video I found on the challenge this month on Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge. I actually didn't think I would have the patience to do this but...shock, horror I did!

I actually even dry embossed the faux metal before I die cut the 'Joy' to give it a more metal appearance.

Here is Kimberly's card:

I am going to enter this into:

Joy to The World and reminder for Time Out

Hi All

First off I apologise for not visiting your blogs recently as I am not so well but will be back very soon. My posts have been pre-scheduled but I actually felt like a bit of crafting and have this post for you today.

Over at Less is More they are celebrating their 300th challenge. A huge congrats to all of you at this challenge, we all love it and have a lot of fun playing along.

I am here celebrating with a Christmas CAS card.

A simple silver snowflake then a sparkle die. Can't get more CAS than this! This die is cut using glitter foam so super quick to make. I made a few more in a variety of colours-not a great photo but just wanted to give you an idea.
