Christmas in June!

Hi All

I have a few new goodies and have been slowly trying to use them when I am in the mood for crafting.

Here is a card using a stencil from Funky Fossil Designs-sentiment is also from there.

The colours are from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown and I will also enter the 'Holiday' challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More-congrats on 8 years!

Enjoy your day!

   

Butterflies and Flowers!

Hi All

I rarely post 2 cards on one day but I was looking through some challenges this morning and Instagram and got inspired to make this card:

I had seen some challenges I wanted to play in and then when I say Milla's card here-inspiration struck! Thanks Milla!

I used my new dies form Penny Black and the flower and butterfly die from Poppy Stamps.
I decided against a sentiment as I like it just the way it was.
To emphasise the butterfly I added some sparkle and a pearl.

Have a good day x

These are the challenges that inspired these cards:

Poppy Stamps-CAS
The flower Challenge-navy and one other colour
Fusion-going with the photo-I liked the CAS look of the photo and the prominent blue of the butterfly
Penny Black Anything goes-option not taken.

     

Friends!

Hi All

I have a 'one layer' card for a few challenges and to you all, my crafty friends!

I just masked off the bottom part of the card and sponged in purple the star stencil by Funky Fossil Designs and stamped the sentiment.

This was inspired by the following challenges:

Less Is More-borders

AAA Cards-one layer with optional twist of graphic-I went with the option with my stars

Cupcake Inspirations-Friendship and I also loved the purple in the photo and the sprinkles on the cake actually got me thinking of this stencil!
Day of the Month-repeat day-lots of stars!

       

New Goodies!

Hi There

Yesterday I got some goodies from America that were Birthday presents from my Mum and Dad and my crafty cousin and dear friend Lynn.

Plus another family member asked me to make a card for her Mum and she wanted flowers and butterflies and blues! So with all these new goodies I got to work and came up with this:

I used CASual Frdiays floral background, heat embossed on navy card. I die cut the panels with my new Penny Black Frame Dies. The sentiment is from Erin Lee Creative-thank you Lynn...you remembered the set I loved! And ended of with stitched butterflies from Poppy Stamps and added some green enamel dots.

It was fun using all my new goodies and even more that I was making it for a dear Family member!

I will enter:

Penny Black Challenge-Anything Goes-option stripes/spots-I went with no option  

Color Throwdown-quite a hard combo but I got there!

Have a fun day x

Time Out #163

Hi All

It is our 'Inspired by Words' challenge at Time Out and here is what I made:

And here is the quote that inspired me:

You can use any of these words or the whole phrase.

I went with the whole phrase and made my Mother's Day card. My Mum is a charming gardener, she makes me happy and makes my soul bloom!

Our sponsors for this challenge are STAMPlorations and here I have used their products Double Stitch Nesting Dies and the Happy Flower Stencil
