Celebrating You Today

 It is not often that I only use die cuts on a card (except for the sentiment), but here goes.

Crisp & CAS, with an embossing folder to add interest.

Artist Flower

 At one stage brown was quite "in" ... brown & pink, brown & turquoise ...

And it's back again.

Playing with my NBUS die Artist Flower No3. I was originally going to go very CAS and use plain colours, but I think the pink I used was too intense (see the second card - which is the first one I made).




Which one do you prefer?

Candy Cane Circles

My new Christmas supplies from Pinkfresh Studio ... love the candy cane effect of the red rings behind the slim braided circles.

There is no stamping on this card which is very unusual for me. Wonderful to use the layered Festive Leaves Stencil and die, and the foiled sentiments are so chic.


Catching the foiled sentiments - I cut one sentiment into 3 to fit in the circles.

Jo's Christmas Kickstart Challenge Reminder

As the guest elf, here's a little reminder if you want to play in Jo's Christmas Kickstart Challenge. This month the theme is Poinsettias and Posies.


You can see my first card HERE.

I made a whole group of cards with the SSS Holiday Sprigs Stamp, Stencil and die set.


The card on bottom left of the photo, is made from the leftover "inside" of the frame I made for the card on the bottom right hand side of photo.


You can see how the berries pop with the glossy accents. 


Here are the other cards ... simple frame and layering the leaves and flowers.


More crisp and CAS with this one.


Added a light touch of green distress behind the frame for this one.


I will also enter this to ...

Soft Blossoms

Soft blues for the these lovely blossoms, with water splatters. Popping out the frame to give some interest.

Spring Chicken

I have so many flower stamps (which I love) but these days, I'm also looking to see if I can make cards that bring a smile. We so need more smiles and laughter in these difficult times.

This Hey Chick set is such fun ... and I've taken artistic license with the colours. I didn't have Birthday Chicken set, so I typed up and printed my sentiment before die-cutting the sign.
