Clean and simple…entering this into the current Inspired by challenge – Bunny Roll. I was INSPIRED by the rabbits in bed. These “Whittle Rabbit” dies look like they’re asleep and I had the perfect sentiment to go along with them. Also showcasing a simple background using washi tape.
I have been playing around with layouts of explosion boxes and centrepiece ideas recently. This explosion box has a special centrepiece that incorporates my love of stamping.
Lots of photos below plus…a walk through video.
This is such a cute stamp set and I love the bright colours against the white of the card base. There is a new online craft supply shop that has opened recently – Loose Lemon Crafts – and they have such fabulous products to use in your crafting and embellishments I haven’t seen locally before. They are New Zealand based and only posting within NZ at this stage. I used their Neon Flowers Clay Sprinkles in this card.
How did February fly past so quickly! It time for our March challenge – get out your patterned paper and play.

I’ve had a 12 x 12 sheet of double sided patterned paper that I’ve had in my stash for a while that is so pretty…of course that makes it hard to actually use. I had coloured the image earlier in the year and it was the perfect complement to the paper.
Well it’s February already and time for shouting out Happy Birthday in a large format.

One of my favourite stamp companies is Avery Elle and I recently purchased this yummy “Cake for All Seasons” stamp and die set.
Woohoo…I’ve found a super new way to use up my ever growing stack of patterned paper. It’s the easy peasy to use We R Memory Keepers explosion board. I know I could muck around with rulers etc and make my own but why waste my time…this board is fabulous.

A quick-ish card for the current My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge. When I can’t decide on a colour scheme I just go with a rainbow. Pulled out some older products from My Favorite Things and the silhouette stamps lend themselves perfectly to the rainbow scheme. This was also a great way to include more than one sentiment.
A quick blog post today as I’m trying to get this entered before the deadline for the current Inspired by Challenge – Cele-bear-ate. I wanted to use up some of my patterned paper so took this opportunity to do just that. My inspiration was simply the bear and using the stripes and lines from the inspiration bear.
Welcome to a new year…2021…and a new round of monthly challenges.

First up we would like you to stencil a background. There are so many different ways to use a stencil; dry emboss, texture paste, ink, paints, glitters, embossing ink and powders – the list goes on and on… I’ve used a very cool turnabout stencil by Concord and 9th and I love how it turned out.
