Home Sweet Home



Great fun playing with my Lawn Cuts & woodgrain embossing folder. Lots of dimension, promarkers and distress inks. Hopefully I'll have more time to play with these stamps and the Spring/Summer promarker colours in the near future!

Frog Prince




A fun birthday card for a little prince! I love how the googly eyes change the frog's expression.
The girls at Lawnscaping Challenge Blog have set the task of colouring, oh such a chore ;) I enjoyed this so much I've used two media: I've coloured the frog using promarkers & the lily pad with distress inks. My lily was constructed using different sizes of daisy punches for the petals & stamen, then coloured with Tim Holtz distress inks & glittered. The heart die cut was folded in half, drenched in lots of green distress inks, shaped & raised on pop dots. I followed an old Sketch Saturdays sketch #251. It reminds me of a pond & there is a lovely royal banner that is perfect for Casual Fridays Challenge #104.  I love these two Lawn Fawn patterned papers (Bright Side collection) used together & all hidden flowers on a masculine card.

Stamp a Scene



I had great fun playing with lots of Lawn Fawn stamp sets & Fluffy Stuff to create my Spring themed card for my craft club. I managed to use Cruising Through Life (prize from Papermade Bakery), Critters in the 'Burbs and Gnome Sweet Gnome (toadstool eggs & cracked tulip egg). I originally coloured my bike in a bright red that didn't work one little bit. As time was of the essence to get to my club, out with the blender an a mellower red bike emerged. Stickles, Glosssy Accents,  gel pens and my cheap non branded fringed scissors aka document shredder for a little grass. It is meant to be Spring so the grass has started growing and should be knee height, right?!






I tried to choose my promarkers to match my Lawn Fawn papers, but also used some pastely ones.

Happy Valentine's!



I really wanted the heart to be the focus of this card, so I coloured my heart thief from Mo Manning in shades of grey & kept my cardstock to layers of white on white with some Stickles for glitter & Glossy Accents for shine. 



Top Tip:
If your piece of cardstock is larger than your embossing folder, choose a pattern that you can easily match up & re-emboss with a pokey tool from behind.

Challenges:
Crafts4Eternity R#110: Be My Valentine
Sentimental Sunday Challenge #141: Love is in the air
Simon Says Stamp: White on White
Top Tip Tuesday Challenge: Let Me Call You Sweetheart





Hope you've had a lovely day & see you soon.

Punches, Dies & Texture


This card contains so many of my go to items. My Martha Stewart Butterfly punch is always at hand, I use it so much I can justify buying more, can't I?! Lawn Fawn Quinn's ABCs is such a fun set, it can be used in so many ways & as soon as Quinn's 123s became available they were mine! A white gel pen was one of my first crafty purchases & it's still going strong over a year later.  From this you can tell I don't craft as much as I'd like, but I have a second pen ready to takeover from the first. Glossy accents provides my favourite textured finish & Cuttlebug's D'vine Swirls embossing folder is so versatile I've not tired of it yet. Spellbinders Posy Patch Dies & the matching Heartfelt creations stamps work so well together and last but not least my corner rounder punch. 
Oops how did I forget it, glitter glue- everything looks good when it sparkles.
