CAS for April



Happy Monday!
Today I am sharing my midway card for the challenge over at
where the theme is anything stamped option CAS.

We have a lovely prize up for grabs so please come
and join us if you can.

For my card I have used Forever Fern  (reduced at the minute) and old olive ink
and blends. I stamped some little splashes around the edges of the leaves.
I then hand embossed a line around the edge of the card using my scoreboard for
some definition and finished with a stamped sentiment.
Very quick and easy and definitely CAS!

With our wee Squirt gone we now have a rat in the garden shed.
It was drawn by a bag of dog food we forgot to get rid of
and had a field day!!
Fingers crossed he is gone now, one way or another!!!

for a refresh.

The papers I used today where a free set during Sale-a-bration!
The stamp set is called Happiness Abounds and
I also used the Brilliant wings dies and dsp to make
the butterfly embellishments.

We have another birthday this weekend as our Grandson Tom
turns 8. I spent an exhausting morning trying to get him a descent
tracksuit! Shops are coming down with those sweatshirt type
but I really wanted the polyester ones, must better wearing.
So disappointed with what I got but nothing else for it.
Back home complete pooped!!

Tealight Gift Packages


My video tutorial today is a quick and easy way to give
a small gift, ie tealights, sweets, biscuit/teabag etc.

I am always looking small ideas to pop into my customers
card orders and this week I am going with tealights.
It's a great way to use up scraps of dsp.
All the items I have used are hopefully still available
and at a greatly reduced price!!

Happy Easter!


This will probably be my last post till next week.
Having a little break this weekend and it's also our
eldest Grandson Oliver's 15 birthday so will be going to that
on Easter Sunday.

I wanted to share my last little makes for the boys.
I found this cute poem on Pinterest and set about making these
poop bags for them. They will get a laugh out of them
and hopefully share the sweets as there is quite a bag full!!


I also wanted to share this amazing prize I won from the
lovely Kaylin over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday!

I am lucky enough to win prizes now and then but NEVER receive them.
I won four last month and never even got a reply from my email.
So sending a BIG thank you to Kaylin as I know this parcel
cost a fortune to post.

So have a great Easter and thanks so much for all your lovely
comments and support these past few months.
It has been greatly appreciated.
No chocolate for me as my IBS is not my friend at the minute
so I have to be very good but enjoy it if you can!

Blue and green for Spring!





Our new challenge theme over at
has been chosen by Wendy and she wants to see
Spring colours yellow and green.

I have gone with my Easter bunny stamp set
and this time coloured him with watercolour pencils.
I used some retired papers for the background layers
and added some die cut foliage using Forever Flourishing dies.
I punched a few flowers for the front,
gave him a little bow and a larger one to finish the tag.

I hope you get time to join us this fortnight.

CAS at Stamping Sensations


Our new challenge for April over at
is anything stamped option CAS.

We have a lovely prize up for grabs so come and join us!


I have gone with CAS for my card.
Not something I do a lot but we all need a challenge now and then.

I have opted for daffodils.
The back base is pretty parakeet.
I then stamped the daffodils and butterfly, coloured them with blends
and added some blue to the background.
I dotted here and there with a blue gel pen
and finished with the sentiment.
Plain and simple and definitely CAS.

I hope you get time to join us this month.
