Favourite Diamond Point Card

Morning, I found this card already cut with my favourite Diamond Point shape and with the P, paper in among my already made cards and with the already cut large die-cut frame but had to cut a piece out of because it got ripped, but worked perfectly with the shape-bonus! I just had to die cut the daisies and little Bee then glue everything together.
D, paper from ScrapAndMe, dies from Spellbinders, Hero Arts and  Stampin Up.

Spot the Mistake

 Morning and we have a  new ATG/Autumn Colours challenge at Stamping Sensations  with a prize of a £25 voucher for Stamp Addicts.

I went with Autumn colours and made a gatefold card using Blazing Poppies stamp from IndigoBlu coloured with Ecoline and promarkers. Ripped the edges and edged with distress ink-I made a similar piece for the insert to write on. Patterned papers from CraftOclock.

I glued the image on upside down -so opening wrong way-which would have fine but made the script papers inside upside down-so before I send will stamp another little butterfly to cover the upside down one lol.

Animal Magic

  Morning and time for the mid month inspirational post for the  ATG/Animal Magic challenge at Stamping Sensations.

We have two stamp set prizes from AALL&Create.

I used a stamp set from Pink Ink, popping the flower and glasses on 3D foam pads and glossy accents on the glasses. The thin die-cut circle was made cutting down another die-cut circle I used which was too big, I coloured the image with Art By Marlene water colours and B. paper from Paper Favourites.

I added two strips of adhesive dry wall lining? under the image.

Happy Anniversary

Morning and I am delighted to be a Guest Designer at Creative Creases. oooh Friday the 13th!!!

I made a shaped anniversary card and sorry cannot share a link as it was on old computer!


UPDATE---found a link -5"x7" Triangle Accordion card


The papers are oddments from The Works and Watercolour Flowers from Scrap and Me, the love sentiment and little bird were cut from other paper oddments, the digi image in the pocket was found already coloured with promarkers when I decluttered but not entirely happy with it tbh-the happy anniversary is a Tonic die.


I would also like to say a big thank you for everyone who left a very encouraging comment on Helens art she was definitely over whelmed and appreciated every one-so thank you. x

Beautiful Sunflowers

  Morning  and those of you that follow me on FB know my daughter Helen draws and paints to help occupy her mind and help with her anxiety and mental health-I always show her work on FB but have decided to make a page for her art on here too-they are all drawn free hand and using coloured pencils, watercolours or graphite pencils. She gets her inspiration from Pinterest, but when I saw the Sunflower challenge at Double D I decided to show the latest one she finished yesterday.

The sunflowers were drawn freehand in pencil then water coloured, the little Bees were stamped -with I think a Chocolate Baroque stamp to hide a couple of marks she made on the paper and saved it from the bin! She has given a few away but this one is definitely going to be framed and on the wall. Size-11 and a half inches x 8and a half inches.
