Sunday Funday

I was able to get a bit of crafting in before we had the family celebration for my MIL’s 80th birthday.

First up is a card for Just Add Ink #509 = Colour challenge.

I stamped the main flower from Uniquely Creative ‘Spring bouquet’ and then coloured it with my Stampin Blends.

Next is a card for:

I stamped the Christmas tree from the Altenew ‘Sketched evergreen’ stamp set. I cut a portion of the panel from the left side and then added some gold glitter paper under the edge to make the tree pop. I used Catherine Pooler Design inks in ‘It’s a girl’, ‘Party dress’ and ‘Royal treatment’ for my tree. This is my favourite Christmas tree stamp and is a staple of my Christmas card making each year.

Next is a card for Just us Girls #540.

I stamped the bear holding the sentiment frame from Taylored Expressions ‘ Big Grumpy’ stamp set and coloured him in with my Stampin Blends. I added a bit of DSP to ground him and some sequins for balance at the top.

I love this guy and his grump face.

Lastly is a card for:

I was inspired by the fishing theme of the TCC photo. I used a stamp set from Close to my Heart called ‘Let’s Go Fishing’. I stamped the sentiment across the centre of my card to mimic the banner and the fish is stamped with SU Coastal Cabana and Pretty Peacock ink with gold embossing for the finer details. I fussy cut the fish out and popped him in the centre to match the sketch.

Well, that’s it for now; i’m off for lunch. Thanks for stopping bu, enjoy the rest of your weekend.

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.

So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities!
