oh so pretty altenew flowers

I've had such fun doing this layered stamping - and I spent an absolute age sorting the best colours for use on the layered stamps - but oh they are oh so pretty.

Altenew Vintage Roses & Clearly Besotted sentiment

teeny tiny stamps

Messing around using some of the smaller Lawn Fawn stamps and my new Hero Arts mini ink pads - I love the colours but the dark inks stain the stamps really badly and this then transfers onto the lighter colours 😔 any advice? 

The light colours do no come out 'clean and bright' I've tried everything to clean. Worried I've ruined my stamps - cute card though...

wishing you a pink christmas

On occasion I stamp and colour a whole heap of images not knowing what I am going to do with them, so I wasn't expecting these cute flamingos to end up on a christmas card - but aren't they cute :)

picture book

When I was a kid I had a concertina picture thing - you pulled it out and looked through a spy hole to see the scene in all of it's depth.

As I made this card I was thinking of that.

The windows were all cut using spellbinders nest abilities and lots of lots of layers of colouring all done for The Daily Marker 30 day.

splish (kaboom)

Another coloured card and I quite like my background - I'm still getting used to these prismacolours but its not terrible

(kaboom)

Sometimes I buy stamps and don't use them for years - this cutie from Whipper Snapper must be at least 6 years old but is still as fun today as the day I bought it.

The sentiment is Lawn Fawn and my colouring in is for Day 1 of the current The Daily Marker challenge :)

glitter stars

The left over space bears have been made into tiny little gift card - the space background is more interesting...

I used some perfect pearls and smoosed it to make a nebula and then stickles were smooshed to make a stream of stars behind my cute little bear

think pink

Clean and graphic - vellum snowflakes cut from Lawn Fawn dies and the scripts merry sentiment covered in in enamel accents to make it really fancy!

The glitter tape makes such a simple background and a scattering of gems and job is done!

brrrrrr

Another Christmas card started - loving the cute pile of presents :) and making the most of the 'waste' from yesterday's card :)

oh it's a pun

Chipping away at those Christmas cards and and loving the fact I can pre-colour a heap of Lawn Fawn stuff and just build a little scene  - the frame from Pretty Pink Posh makes it super cute too.

sea you soon

Using all of my different fishy sets to make a cute shaker card - lots of Lawn Fawn on display here.

footprints in the snow

I quite like my sentiment background and even like the mixed ink colours I managed.

The die-cut sentiment is from Hero Arts, everything but the bird is Lawn Fawn and some Pretty Pink Posh sequins.

stupid but happy

I've always referred to sunflowers (and daffodils) as stupid but happy - they are so brash and brazen I've never thought they could be smart flowers... an odd opinion I know,

Any way these sunflowers from the Lawn Fawn Our Friendship Grows set made a cheery card.

like an onion I have layers

I've gone an bought myself some layering stamps!

I need a bit more depth of colour, but what is not to love <3

Stamps by  MFT & that Sentiment is from Stampin' Up! I must have had it years...

now you know your abcs

Men are such a pain in the bottom... why is it so difficult to make cards for them...

This was an attempt using a scrap of Sassafrass paper (do you remember Sassafras) an a few stars... even men like sequins right...

One thing I love about this hobby is that you can make cards for people and occasions that you can't easily get otherwise.

This card is for my in-laws 35th wedding anniversary - and I used quickutz dies - remember quickutz!!!

The rest is simply a repeated pattern of congratulations stamp from Clearly Besotted. Lawn fawn star and heart and lots of Pretty Pink Posh sequins and life is good :)

so much space bear

I'm liking my water colour galaxy - and I'm loving these Mama Elephant space bears!

Really nothing fancy - except for his adorable Death Star balloon :)

bonjour arc-en-ciel

Lawnscaping Challenge #134  is 'rainbows' and I love rainbows so much (they physics behind them is so elegant - did you know that the rainbow you see is your rainbow... nobody else will see that, your position makes it unique and just for you 🌈).

I don't know why  but as soon as I saw the challenge I knew exactly the card I wanted to make, I could see it so clearly (and I've nearly managed to make what I saw), it is not quite my usual style!

I found this paper precut when looking for my relax stamp, and so instead of putting it away again I used it up, go me!

relax - I've only lost two days of my life

So this was originally supposed to say relax, but I laid out the stamp, got a phone call, returned and it was no where to be found. Two days of taking my scrap space apart to try and find it have returned nothing so now I have a stamp set missing a stamp :(

I don't often get requests for specific cards, but when asked to produce a card of a british blue with dark silver stripes and to make it look as if a really talented cat had made it there isn't much more to say.

Reworking the scrapbooking mojo. I've got loads of random photos that I just need to scrap, and this shot of the beech in Aberdeen (northern Scotland) was just perfect for a summery layout.

The title was based on an advertising poster that was around the town a few years ago (when I lived there), it makes the town sound exotic and tropical.

Another Useless Trinkets cutie, I've managed to make this one really fluffy :)
