Snow day.....

Brrr it's cold out side!! But that means it's great to stay in and craft 😉 so that's my plan for today....what's yours?
Today's inspiration is a lovely reminder that warmer days are on their way hopefully not to long to wait now though as I'm a real spring summer person 😄

Sunny and bright...

Well we might have snow here but the sun sure is shining 😊 it looks lovely....until I have to go out that is!! Lol
Anyway here's today's sample. It too is a bright sunny colour. I've stamped on to the vellum layer using versamark then covered it in white embossing powder then heated it give what I think is rather a lovely effect.

Well that was the plan 😂😂😂

 Well wouldn't you know it....it snowed today!!! First time this year and there was I thinking spring had sprung lol 😁

Today's card still features the daffodils from the You're Inspiring stamp set ....along with a wishful thought about springtime 😉 xx

Spring....

Well that was a very  Chaotic week !!! Apologies for not sharing any posts but Gill is mid house renovations, I had family issues and we both have been ramping up for our upcoming crafting retreat!!!fingers crossed we're both over the worst of it and normal services will resume soon 😉
Anyway where we live spring is definitely springing up!  We have both crocus and daffodils popping their lovely heads up all over the place. They are such a welcome  sign that longer days and brighter weather are on their way so uplifting for the spirits 😊
So in honour of spring I've chosen go use the delightful You're  Inspiring  stamp set from Stampin ' Up! This week as it features beautiful daffodils .
Today's samples are simple and also feature Stampin Blends and the cards from the sale-a-bration catalogue.

Sketches Day 5

Today is my last for the week, I thought I would go with a fun theme.

You've Got Style is the stamp set that tickles my imagination for this one.

Using Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White cardstock and inks for this one.

I also used the Watercolour Pencils too for the colouring in.

I don't know what it is about colouring but I find it very therapeutic. 

I guess that's why they have classes to help people with stress and other issues.

Once again I have used the 1/4 " Double Stitched Ribbon for the edge that I cut off.

The paper is from the Myths and Magic DSP which coordinates with the 

Magical Day stamp set I used earlier this week.

A little bling from the Rhinestones and that finished off this card.

 

Here is the card made by Linda Callahan that gave me the inspiration for mine.

Sketches - Day 4

My card today is all things bright and beautiful. 

Well, if you don't think it is thatt's fine but it's certainly bright! 

I used Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight for the brightness and of course 

Whisper White for the inner mat. I also used the Oh My Stars embossing folder on the yellow mat

and a strip of the gorgeous paper from Delightful Daisy.

The little flowers were punched from the Blossom Builder punch and the big flower is from Birthday Blooms stamp set which I heat embossed and coloured in with the Watercolor Pencils.

The ribbon is called 1/4" Double Stitched Ribbon. It has crosses on one side and dashes on the other.

 It also comes in Cherry Cobbler and Blushing Bride. 

The bling is provided by the Clear Facetted Gems.

Here is the sketch Francesca designed from Sunday Sketch and Stamp : Sketches website.

Sketches Day 3

My project for today is slightly different to the sketch that I saw.

This reminds me of looking through a window to the flowers.

I used Melon Mambo, Basic Black and Whisper White cardstock for this one.

The Lots of Labels framelits for the windows and message and the gorgeous Pretty Label punch for the

lady. 

 The stamp set is Beautiful You from the annual catalogue and the

DSP is Petal Passion papers from the seasonal catalogue.

I was inspired by this sketch from Marie. I'm sorry but I don't know her other name.
