I started with a white card base, and added a die cut silver frame. The ivy is from the Stampin Up Blended Season stamp set which I coloured with watercolour pens and blended with a brush before fussy cutting. I created a frame from silver card stock, and used the co coordinating frame lits to cut some leaves from silver card. The sentiment is from the same set.</div>

I was inspired by the current challenge over at <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Less is More</a>, CASE card see Rebecca's card below. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved the layout and the gorgeous leaves on Rebecca's card so decided to just adjust the design slightly and make a Christmas card. I have used the same die from Bouquet Bunch framelits, and some gold glitter card. The robin is the bird from Feathers & Frost stamp set and I have coloured it in brown and red pens. Not sure if it is a robin but I like it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sentiment is computer generated, and I added some gold sequins to finish off. A very quick CAS card.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
still not any where near as good as Jennifer Mcguire, she does make techniques look so easy, but I am pleased with it for my first attempt.</div>

Hello, I am back again today to share a card I made using a retired stamp set Tranquil Tulips.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Pumkin Pie ink pad for the tulips stamping off first for the back of the flowers and old olive for the leaves. I used a stitched rectangle to create my panel and added a banner sentiment tied with some whisper white twine.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This week I had a delivery of new crafty goodies, so thought I would have a little play with a couple of the sets, Dandelion Wishes and Bokeh Dots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used one of the panel stamps from the Bokeh Dots set, and Blackberry Bliss ink to create my background before stamping one of the dandelions in black ink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I mounted the white panel onto black card base with dimensionals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sentiment is from the same stamp set.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This weeks challenge over at <a href="http://cascoloursandsketches.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">CAS Colours & Sketches</a> is a colour combination.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I first saw these lovely colours I thought of autumn which is just around the corner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whilst looking for my vintage leaves stamp set I picked up Oh so eclectic, this is a set i have not used for a while so thought I would have a play.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQHE5Qpx6ILbYvvq5P9w81Q9TpXYdz-xD95RhE8iDmJECDqldlug5aXCEMjNg-_BN1YlJ1cGFOVGnycmJQ_lXMFQopYSW__RF30G0js_5FDww8IkmDMmBsyvvmptuUkG3rBu1YU2tCnauc/s1600/CC%2526S+color286-001.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="67" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQHE5Qpx6ILbYvvq5P9w81Q9TpXYdz-xD95RhE8iDmJECDqldlug5aXCEMjNg-_BN1YlJ1cGFOVGnycmJQ_lXMFQopYSW__RF30G0js_5FDww8IkmDMmBsyvvmptuUkG3rBu1YU2tCnauc/s200/CC%2526S+color286-001.png" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My first card is on a white card base, and the image was stamped </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the following order Merry Merlot, Mango Melody and finally Poppy Parade.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Merry Merlot for the open flower stamp, before adding a sentiment to the bottom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This card uses Very Vanilla cardstock, and I die cut my stamped image with a stitched square, and then mounted it onto a slightly larger square of Merry Merlot putting it at a slight angle on the card base.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use lots of Hello cards whilst working away from home so thought this sentiment would come in handy.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Good morning from a damp north Wales. The last few days here have been very misty and damp, we can hardly see the mountains from the office window. Has we not been doing much outside work I have took the opportunity to do a little crafting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have had a little play with the now retired fruit basket stamp and punch set from Stampin Up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have combined the current challenge over at the <a href="http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Paper Players </a> CAS Fruit, and I have used the sketch from the current challenge over at<a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Less is More</a></div>

The squares were die cut using the Layered squares framelits from Stampin Up from whisper white and lemon lime zest card stock. I then stamped two pears using Lemon Lime Twist ink and soft suede for the stalks before punching out with the coordinating punch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added 3 white pears to the other squares.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have used a digi image from LOTV and coloured it with copic markers. This card was made for my husbands birthday from our dog Millie.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It sums up the relationship that they both have, our dog is definitely a mans dog, and she loves to sit next to him whenever she can</div>

I have two more cards to share using the A Little Wild stamp set from Stampin Up. This time I have used the elephant stamp to create 2 new baby cards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Firstly I created a pink pirouette card base, stamped the elephant and coloured with watercolour pencils before die cutting with a stitched circle die, and I cut off a little bit along one side before mounting onto the front of the card with dimensionals. I added some white thick twine and my sentiment from the same stamp set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The second card base is in soft sky and I added a snippet of DSP before adding my elephant die cut. I again added some twine and my sentiment stamped in soft sky.</div>

When I saw that this weeks challenge over <a href="http://casology.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/week-261-safari.html" target="_blank">CASology</a> was safari I knew that I would use the stamp set A little wild from Stampin up.</div>

I made two cards to share</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped two images of the lions and coloured with watercolour pencils and a blender pen. I die cut one image with a stitched circle die and mounted onto a scalloped circle in Tangerine Tango card stock. I embossed the front of my Old Olive card base added some burlap ribbon and mounted my image with dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped in Old Olive ink onto a circle of old olive card stock.</div>

This month the challenge over at<a href="http://theflowerchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"> The Flower Challenge blog </a>is to use flower stamps to create your background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Beautiful Bouquet stamp set from stampin up is ideal for this with all the different shapes and size of flowers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8fp6Zu_4gHBav0ZBIItX0hqHCGw_7AnZXkDD6nxykK0LSuFQCOeIF3y-OpwmG80orKOkufVGmxpTDzXUBNvX1s8zgAGw64_ZpIKLn_tl-XduHZRRncVeUv2qE4cfBPkFFyaLC97BJjxSr/s200/flowrerchallengeFocusbgstamping.jpg" width="200" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created a piece of card stock using the flower stamps using Lemon Lime Twist, Rich Razzleberry, Pool Party, Night of Navy and Bermuda Bay ink pads</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped some extra flowers to cut out with the co co ordinating die set.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a stitched rectangle die to cut my panel and added a strip of Lemon Lime Twist card stock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sentiment is from the stamp set and I used the layering circles and stitched shapes dies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added three die cut flowers to finish off.</div>

Sorry it's been a while since I posted, we are very busy at the caravan site this time of year and when we finish work in the evenings I am normally to tired to blog.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have made this card for a friend who has lots going on in her life at the moment, I thought the sentiment was just right for her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started of with a piece of whisper white card and sponged my little scene using the colours in this weeks<a href="http://cascoloursandsketches.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"> CAS Colours and Sketches challenge</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with the blushing bride and then the cajun craze to create the beach, I then added some tempting turquoise for the sea adding several layers to make it bold, adding a very light layer of pink for the horizon before adding a light layer of tempting turquoise for the sky.</div>

I have been having another play with the eclectic layers dies from stampin up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the large die to die cut the pattern on my stitched rectangle then cut out parts of it using snippets of Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet card stock, saving all the little diamond pieces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After adhering my rectangle to my card front I inlaid a selection of the colours back into the diamond shapes on my white panel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stamped the sentiment in Elegant eggplant. I will have to make some more of these because I have lots of pieces left over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Good morning to you all. I have a card today that showcases the gorgeous papers that co ordinate with the Oh So Eclectic stamps and dies. I just love the colours in these papers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used MFT stitched edge dies then die cut the Hello from Lemon Lime Twist, added three glitter dots and all done. Very quick and easy to make. Think I will definitely be making more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This weeks challenge over at <a href="http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Less is More is No Stamps</a> so I am adding this card into the challenge, I am also entering into the new challenge at <a href="http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Paper Players </a>which is a sketch see below</div>

I have another card to share using the new Oh So Eclectic stamp set from Stampin Up, this time I have also used the matching die set for my flower. Working away from friends and family for 8 months I get through a lot of Hello cards when keeping in touch, so always like to have a little stock ready for use.</div>

I started by die cutting a stitched rectangle and then stamped in each of the three colours. The night of navy I stamped off twice before adding it because I felt it was a little bit dark against the other lighter colours.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The flower was die cut from night of navy card stock and I mounted the panel onto a pink card base.</div>

This is the card that I made for my sons 30th Birthday recently. When I saw this weeks challenge over at <a href="http://movingalongwiththetimes.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">MAWTT</a> was age as a focal point I thought this fit the bill. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am also going to enter the challenge over at <a href="http://craftycardmakers.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/193-lots-of-layers.html" target="_blank">crafty cardmakers lots of layers</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created a card base in Basic Grey card stock, slightly larger than I would normally at 5 x 7 inch, then added a panel of Delightful Dijon card stock. The DSP is from Urban Underground.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used bits from lots of different stamp set including Layering Ovals, Number of Years for the banner, Birthday Bright for the sentiment and balloon celebration for the 2 Delightful Dijon balloons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The numbers were die cut in black glimmer card, and I added some gold stars to decorate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have stamped Happy Birthday on the inside but forgot to take a picture.</div>

I have used the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set from Stampin Up for my card. I started with a white card base and die cut a circle from the front. The flowers were stamped in Rich Razzleberry and Pool Party and then fussy cut out. I used Old Olive for the leaves which were also fussy cut before arranging them around the circle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used Rich Razzleberry to stamp the sentiment and then added a strip of Old Olive DSP along the bottom</div>

I was inspired by a card on Sarah P blog<a href="http://sazzledazzlecrafts.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/less-is-more-334.html" target="_blank"> here</a> and decided to create my own background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used stamps from Balloon Celebration stamp set along with tempting turquoise, pumpkin pie, night of navy and Lemon Lime twist ink pads, to create a random pattern on my card stock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I die cut the front using MFT stitched basic edges.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy and I added some enamel shapes to finish off.</div>
