Daylight Savings Crafting

Well daylight savings has started – yay – so I can pretend that I slept in today! Nah, I love daylight savings, I enjoy getting home from work and it’s still light and I can sit outside and enjoy the smell of the jasmine on the fence.

Miss K is away camping with a friend so I can craft without feeling guilty about not spending time with her!

Today as per usual I’m playing along with a few challenges. First up is The Sisterhood of Crafters – Friend(ship).

I created a sunny looking alcohol ink background, I used a sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays ‘Sassy Smiles’ and added a few flower sequins.

I know exactly which friend this is going to!

Next up is a card for a new to me challenge – Always Fun Challenge #130 – Anything Goes.

I made a card for a guy with a stenciled background in SU grey granite, a digital SU motorcross image and a sentiment from Stampers Anonymous ‘Handwritten Thoughts’ that seemed fitting.

Next is a card for The Card Concept #120.

I was inspired by the blue and white striped jug and flowers. I used an old SU stripe background stamp inked up in CP Juniper Mist and the flower is from Altenew ‘Wallpaper Art’ coloured with my Stampin Blends.

Next is a card for the current Alphabet Challenge Blog – N is for Naughty.

I used a stamp set from The Ton called ‘Born Classy’ and a Unity Stamps sentiment that seemed a perfect match.

Next card is for 2 challenges: Just Add Ink #477 and Cardz for Galz #106 – Pretty bows.

I loved this sketch and decided to make a Christmas card with a bow die, some SU DSP and a bit of Wink of Stella for that shimmer. How simple is that?

My last card is for the Just Us Girls #508 – DSP challenge.

I used some SU Magnolia Lane DSP and coloured the flowers red to make them look like poinsettias. The sentiment is a digital one from The Ton.

well that’s it for now. Thanks for looking and have a great day.

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.

  1. Amazing Tristan. Despite losing an hour, you have been busy. I too, love Daylight Saving time. A bit darker for a few weeks in the mornings but loving the longer daylight in the evenings. All you cards today are so beautiful.
