Just Stamping - Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Happy Friday!

I've had a very productive week which makes me happy.  Unfortunately, I'm not ahead of myself which I would have liked even more but neither am I behind!   I guess you can't have it all and I should be grateful I've ticked off so much on my to do lists.

The Daring Cardmakers challenge was chosen by Dawn this week, who wants to see only stamping on our cards.  I found this really difficult as I love to stamp and have no issues with it, but rarely do I use stamps by themselves.  My creations are usually combined with embellishments and die cuts.

I ended up using a pre loved Lawn Fawn stamp set and made my first Valentine!  I'm in love with the Catherine Pooler inks as the colours are so vibrant and make any card pop!  I stamped the banana in yellow all over randomly after I added a circle mask so I had space for my sentiment.  I added hearts stamped in red.  I finished with the sentiment in black and a red banner for the Happy Valentine's Day.  A fun card for a change!

I hope you'll join in with the challenge HERE and also see lots more inspiration for my fellow DT members.

I'll be back tomorrow with a fairy post so hope you'll pop in and see me again.  Thank you for your comments - they're all read and appreciated.

Happy Tuesday!

Even I can't believe that I'm blogging again so soon - a good start to the New Year I think, don't you?!  Today, I'm sharing a card made with some contents from the January Bubbly Funk 'Love' Box.

Even though I enjoy making Christmas projects it's actually refreshing to be able to step away from all things Christmas.  I tend to use hearts most of the year round and this is a great project to start the year with!

The ready painted white hearts are wooden and I've teamed them with a couple of glitter hearts.

The sentiments are backed on black card and once I decided on the design I mounted it onto kraft card before adhering it to the black card base.  I added hand drawn lines to accentuate the frame and added spotty ribbon to embellish.

You can see the contents of the box and order yours HERE.  

I'm off for a lie down after 2 days of blogging.......!!!

Happy February Friends!

You'll never guess what?! Give up? I've been selected for the Fiskarettes UK Design Team on a 4 month term. It's still not sunk in! I'm both honoured and excited to be working with a great team of ladies and fabulous products. A huge thanks to Enfys for making it possible. 

So, I had a Valentines card to make and the Fiskars heart punch is one of my favourites at the moment. It's ideal for Valentines Day although I can see myself using it for many other occasions. 

I'm also drawn to gap cards at the moment. I just like how versatile they are so I combined the two together and came up with this:

Thank you for taking the time to look :)
