A pinch and a punch for the 1st of the month

I can’t believe it’s November all ready – this year has flown by. Miss K is in the middle of a reading frenzy which leaves me with time to craft!

First is a card for:

Let’s Squash It is a new challenge all about embossing folders and encouraging us to get them out- I have about 55 in my ‘collection’ so I’m thankful for the inspiration. I used a Stampin Up stamp set ‘Geared Up Garage’ and the metal plate embossing folder. I thought the sketch worked beautifully with this folder.

Next is a card for the Alphabet Challenge – O is for old folk!

I have a girlfriend that I have known for 50 years and interpreted this challenge in a slightly different way (old friendship not old age!) – I decided to make a card for her birthday to recognise this fact. I used the ‘Senior Years’ stamp set from Stampin Up.

Next is a card for:

I created an alcohol ink background and then added a die cut sentiment from Uniquely Creative cut from some gold glitter paper.

Well, that’s it for today, thanks for stopping by. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

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.
