More leaves!

Another Saturday post.

I followed the sketch over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday

but it closes tomorrow so had to get this posted.

I flipped the sketch to suit my card.

The leaf background was made using one of my stencils

from the Abundant beauty masks with lots of nice

autumn ink colours.

I added some text from the gorgeous made stamp set

and the THANKS is from biggest wishes stamp set.

It is mostly in daffodil delight colours, so bright and cheerful.

I even made a matching tag with a leftover bit from the embossed masking.

It does look much nicer in real life as the leaves look 3d.

Here is a quick video showing the process

More dazzle!!

My video tutorial today shows how I made these cards.

It's a great way to use up some leftover papers.

The flower was made using  the Abundant Beauty masks,

just stencilling it twice and layering it up and adding the leaves.

The sparkle comes from that gorgeous paper called More Dazzle!

This one was done in berry burst colours.

You can watch my video tutorial here.

This one was done in pretty peacock colours.

Grid Card for Halloween

Another Halloween make.

This one is just a topper as I wanted to stick it to the goodies bags

for each of the Grandkids houses.

Did you ever go to the Haunted House at fun fairs?

I remember going to one many years ago and swore I

wouldn't go again lol. I am very easily spooked!!

I used the Grid card idea for this one and some retired papers.

Very pleased with the finished look and it was super easy and quick

I stamped the house and cut it out, adding some purple ink to the white parts.

The background was inked up using lemon lime twist and gorgeous grape inks.

I stamped the little headstones and bats, then added the house with 3d foam.

The sentiment was stamped, inked, then chopped up to fit the spaces.

All roads lead home!

It's the second week of Sandie's theme TRANSPORT over at

Tag Tuesday.

My heart wasn't really in it this week as we have had yet

another roof leak during storm babet.

Seriously, this saga is never going to end!!

I am actually so mad all I can do is cry 😢 to get rid of my anger.

He is full of empty promises constantly and really has us

over a barrel. Hubby is much more patient and forgiving than me for sure!

This has been a permanent fixture outside my kitchen now for 9 weeks

and the front of the house is like a construction storage site!

Sorry for having a rant but needed to get it off my chest😖

Anyway I used a retired stamp set called Coming Home along with some

black card. I blended the sky with some inks and

coloured everything with my blends.

The sentiment was computer generated.

We went to our Grandson Sean's birthday last night.

He has hit double figures and reached the age of 10!

I honestly can't believe it. He is the most handsome wee boy

and so funny, gentle and thoughtful.

But maybe I'm biased 😂

He certainly was a tonic for me last night!

Hope you get time to join us this week!!

Had a nice walk this morning, dry but blustery.

But it's always nice to get down to the lakes for some fresh air.

Yesterday we drove down to Lough Neagh to watch

the sunset. It was spectacular!
