 Hello and thank you for visiting my blog. Today I am sharing one of my 2 DT cards for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.


Kathies irst sketch this month is something a little different and is designed to show of your designer papers but I decided to colour one of my DSPs in.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 DT - using sketch 331

  Hello and welcome to / back to my blog. Today I am  sharing a DT card for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. This one is using sketch 331



Here is the sketch designed by Kathie


Due to the heat in the craft room when I made my DT cards for this month the Hobby House box was searched again for a set with an oval  topper and this pretty kit caught my eye which also had the matching cardstock in the pouch. The oval die for the mat is My Favourite Things and the bow die is a favourite from Stampin Up. The pearls are also from the Hobby House. 

Most of the stash is vintage but having been saving up for retirement for a few years it is now the time to use it all, if only it weren't so hot in the roof lol!

Thank you for visiting

Critter Crazy Challenge 112 - Butterflies

Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today. 

The latest challenge over at Critter Crazy Challenge where anything with a Critter can be used began yesterday and here is my card.


To make my card I used dies from Butterfly Flourish and Butterflies and Dragonfly from Joanna Sheen, Hazels sentiment dies from Julie Hickey Designs and Connecting the Dots nesting dies from Honey Doo Crafts.
The papers are from a First Edition pad Paper Flowers and the butterflies embossing folder came from Embossalicious. Pearls probably came from the Hobby House.
So using lots of vintage stash again.




Do-All Kreatives challenge 115

 Hello and thank you for visiting my blog today. I am here to share my DT card for the June challenge over at Do-Al(l)-Kreatives where the theme is Purple/Green or Purple/Blue.

Here is my card


To make my card I used some lilac card which was in my stash whihc came from Craftwork cards I think in 2018 when the pantone colour was ultra-violet, the white card is Stampin' Up.

The papers are from Stampin Up and are leftover from a Paper Haven online Bingo night during Covid. The flowers are also SU Framed Florets which have been coloured with alcohol makers. Lots of Stampin Up on this card. I also decorated the envelope whihc you can probably just see on the photo.
