Weekend Makes

I had a chance to play along with some of my favourite challenges this weekend before we head out for our Father’s Day celebrations.

First up – Fusion Challenges – Floral Wall. and Paper Craft Crew Challenges #349.

I loved the sketch and decided to use the butterflies from the Stampin Up ‘Butterfly Wishes’ stamp set. I used some Catherine Pooler Design inks, punched them out and roughly layered on my white card base.

Next, Freshly Made Sketches #400 – what a fabulous milestone.

I used a new die from Paper Roses for the center of my panel (over a sponged background) and a sentiment from Taylored Expressions.

Next up, CAS Colours & Sketches #336 and Global Design Project #204.

I was inspired by the three main flowers on Kerstin’s card and decided to place my flowers in the position of the stars from the sketch. I used a set from Simon Says Stamp called ‘Delicate Flowers’ which I coloured with my Stampin Blends and cut out on my Scan’n’Cut.

Lastly is a card for TGIF Challenges #227.

I created an alcohol ink background on some transparent Yupo which really makes the colours pop when overlaid on a white card base. I used a sentiment form Simon Says Stamp ‘Big Birthday Wishes’ which I heat embossed in silver embossing powder.

Well, that’s it for today – off for Father’s Day lunch. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Hey there! I’m a card-making enthusiast with a passion for creativity that knows no bounds. Currently, I’m fortunate to be a part of four fantastic international card design teams, where I get to explore my craft and connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe. It’s amazing how the world of card making can bring people together, and I’m constantly inspired by the diversity of styles and ideas that come my way. Beyond my card-making adventures, I lead a pretty busy life in the learning and development field, where I work full time as a Learning Lead. I thrive on helping others grow and reach their full potential, and it’s a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. When I’m not immersed in the world of work or crafting, you can find me on the netball court, coaching and sharing my love for the game with a bunch of amazing individuals. So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and I hope you enjoy exploring my card creations and more.

  2. A great weekends crafting Tristan. That alcohol background is stunning. Just so incredible. Your other three cards are just as stunning too. Those butterflies are beautiful and as I love purple, that flower is perfect. And your die cut card is inspiring.
