Lots of HAPPY

Hey!

Not only does my card have LOTS of happy but this week has been quite a happy one here in the studio! It's officially Spring here in the UK and the sun came out for a short while yesterday lets just hope more is on its way!

So I have a HAPPY card to share with you today...

It has a wonderful mix of doilies, ribbon and a lovely felt butterfly and lots of happy as you can see! Here's a little close up of the detail...

I'm out of the studio later today as I am doing a little talk to some students at the college I graduated from. I'm going to hopefully inspire them with all that I've been up to since graduating! 

Have a wonderful day! Thanks for stopping by.

Autumn Neutrals

Hey!

Autumn is definitely in full swing here in the UK, the weather so far this week has kept me in The Studio working & not wanting to go outside! Anyway, I have an Autumnal masculine birthday card to share with you...

I was inspired not only by the weather to make this card but also by the current Less is More Challenge HERE, which is Autumn! 

I decided to keep my card to Autumn Neutrals as I knew I wanted to used Uniko Studio Background Builders Lattice stamps to create a background and if I started adding a lot of colour it would have got a little busy and not so CAS.

I used another Memory Box Die I have had for a while but haven't seem to have used! I think I need to come up with a system of making sure I use stash instead of stashing it! Lol!

That's all from me today, I hope your all having a good week so far? We're half way to the weekend and halfway closer to the next Uniko Studio Super FREE Saturday! Until tomorrow, thanks for stopping by.

I {Heart} Butterflies!

Hey!

I'm back today with a couple of butterfly cards to share with you as I {Heart} Butterflies! Both of my cards are CAS which fit perfectly into the current Addicted to Stamps challenge HERE.

Here is my first card...

I started out by printing a sheet of paper from the BRIGHT Butterflies Additions digital collection and used a PTI Mat Stack die to die cut the shape. I then used a PTI Butterfly die to die cut the butterfly shape. I stamped the 'Hello' sentiment from Time and added some linen thread and a button.

For my next card I decided to use the supplies I had out and left from my first card & came up with this card...

I used the same LO but used the die cut butterfly from the first card! Great way to use supplies already out on your desk.

That's all from me today as I am still feeling a little 'delicate' after the Hen weekend in Edinburgh! Thanks for stopping by!

Kraft & White

Hey!

Sorry for the late post today, I've been feeling a little under the weather today and I didn't get round to photographing my card for today until this evening. Keeping it short & sweet tonight here's my card...

Kraft & White another great combination! Here is a little close up of the detail...

It's hard to capture the subtle sparkle in a photo, but the little background circles are stamped in Versamark Frost.

I'll be back again tomorrow with more to share, until then thank you for stopping by.

Sending Birthday Wishes

Hello!

I'm a little behind schedule today, but here I am! It's a rainy day here in the North East of the UK, perfect for being in The Studio making cards! 

Anyway, here is todays card ...

Today's card is super simple and uses Decorative Doilies - The Hands of Time paired with FONTiments - Birthday. I added loops of ribbon in Hawaiian Shores, Raspberry Fizz & Aqua Mist using matching buttons and ink!

Short & sweet from me today as there is lots to be done in The Studio! Thanks for stopping by today!

Easily Addicted ...

Hey! 

As you can see by the photo below I have made yet another rosette flower with a clock face! Yes, I am easily addicted to a product or more & go through phases of this with old & new stash! Do you have this problem?! 

My excuse for making another rosette using the Memory Box die is that I wanted to they out some NEW papers I bought at the weekend as I do hoard pretty papers & I am trying to be good & not hoard them as much!! 

The paper I have used is a NEW Teresa Collins 6 x 6 pad called Carolina Breeze. The colour theme of the pad is yellow, very, white & black, a combination I'm still loving. I used one sheet from the pad to make the rosette & mat for the white layer. The papers are double sided so I used both sides. 

The scroll is die cut using another of my NEW purchases the Memory Box Scrollwork die. The clock face & sentiment are from the Extra Time stamp set. 

Thats all from me today! I will be back tomorrow with something different & possibly a little announcement if all goes to plan!! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Wait a MINUTE!

Whoohooo! It's Wednesday, that means were halfway & closer to the weekend!! Today I am taking a little trip out for the day to Leeds for a spot of shopping & research whilst my other half takes an exam!! 

Before I go out though I thought I'd share a card I have made using some new crafting goodies I bought at the weekend ...

For this card I used another Retro Sketch for my card LO, you can see this weeks sketch HERE & below.

I started by stamping the cog image all over my card base using some yummy Versamark Dazzle Frost ink. It has a lovely frosty shimmer & is a NEW ink to my collection! I then used the PTI's Wine Bottle die to cut a piece of white card stock that I had pre-stamped with the cog image in white pigment ink. 

I then over stamped the 3 circles from the 'Time' stamp set & you get this cool velvet type effect. I followed a technique I had seen HERE over on Hero Arts. I used some NEW to me ink pads for the circles which is Ranger Archival Ink in Aquamarine (available to buy at The Stamp Attic) and Watermelon to stamp the clock face.

I am addicted to making lovely rosettes out of all kinds of patterned paper using my new Memory Box Rosette die! On this card I used a scrap of PTI's distressed dots paper. A simple button finishes it off!

In the photo below you can see the shimmer of the Versamark Dazzle Frost & the velvet technique along with the dimension of the rosette.

Ok, so thats all from me today but I will be back again tomorrow with another project!! 

Just if you were wondering both the TIME & EXTRA TIME stamp sets are back in stock on the website HERE!! 

Thanks for stopping by!
