Wedding Wishes!


I had a wedding card to make for my brother who is tying the knot again
in November. Sadly I can't travel over to the wedding but wanted
to send a nice card.

I followed the sketch over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday again.
These sketches always give me inspiration when I'm stuck.

The stamp set is called Country Bouquet and I used the matching punch.
I have a layer of vellum under the circles and the papers are from a retired
set called Country Floral Lane dsp.

Gift of giving!


My card today is an easy grid Christmas card.
It seriously was easy. Once you have your measurements worked
out you could make multiples of this card so quickly.

I went with Beary Christmas papers and the stamp is from
Gift of Giving set. The background is in navy and the sentiment is
from Beary Cute stamp set.
I think this image is so cute and lovely to colour with my blends.

It is so wet, miserable, grey and windy outside!
I have to head out for some shopping so it's raincoats
at the ready. I'll leave the wellie boots behind for the sake of my hubby 😂
Enjoy your weekend. It is supposed to be sunny tomorrow!!

Colours of Autumn

 


I'm a day late with my midway post but I am sure you won't mind.

Our October theme over at
is Autumn Colours or anything goes option.
Of course we have two lovely prizes up for grabs


So I have gone with green and yellow for my card.
As I had my basic border dies out this week I decided to make another background
using  old olive and crushed curry card stock.
The flower was stamped twice from the Hello Ladybug set, in
crushed curry ink with a bit of wink of stella to add some sparkle.
It was layered up and finished with a gem.
The leaves were stamped and die cut, then inked around the edges.
I also added some wink of stella to them.
I had cut my white card at an angle using the basic border dies,
arranged my flower and leaves and finished with some
trim around the top edges.
I stamped and die cut two more smaller leaves
to add to the card to look like falling leaves.
The sentiment is from Biggest Wish.

Our leaves in the garden are mostly still green and just ever so slightly yellowing.
Autumn will probably come overnight all of a sudden lol
or maybe we will skip autumn and go straight to winter!!

Wake up, kick butt, repeat!


It's time for another challenge theme over at
and this time it's Sandie's turn and she wants to see
'transport' on your tags.

I had my basic borders dies out on my desk for the week so
went with them to create the background.
I used rich razzleberry, garden green and old olive card.
The image is from a retired stamp set called Enjoy Life.

Bright and cheerful


Happy Monday!
We had such a beautiful sunny but chilly weekend!
My favourite type of weather for sure.
On Saturday we went with two of our grandkids and our son Deaglan
to The Argory which is a lovely woodland park.
So nice to get out in such lovely surroundings.

Anyway my card today is a thank you card using the
Abundant Beauty masks, which you know I love.
I went with yellows and oranges for this one.
Kept it clean and simple with just a little wrap of gold thread.
