Cup Day Crafting

It’s a public holiday here in Melbourne all for a horse race – it’s Melbourne Cup Day – the race that stops a nation!

For me,it’s an opportunity toget my craft on.

First up is a card for Just Add Ink #529.

I did a bit of masking and sponging with the colours. The Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight blend so beautifully together. I used a Simon Says Stamp ‘Delicate Flowers’ over the top of the sponged panel and mounted it on top of some shiny silver paper.

Next is a card for the Christmas Card Throwdown #40.

I bought some adorable rectangle tins from Stamp Up and decided to make a folded card to go inside.

Lastly is a card for AAA Cards #177.

Imade a very simple card using a snowflake die (they look like stars right?) and some shimmery glitter paper behind it.

Well that’s it for today. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your 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.
