Simple Hello

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing a quick card that I made for another one of my RAK packs. They are certainly keeping me busy and it's a great reason for me to use my new crafty stash!

I decided I wanted to make something bright with rainbow colours so of course I reached for my Distress Oxides! I used a stencil from the Stencil Floral Pack by Craft Sensations. I added lots of Distress Inks over the top gently blending each one together. The colours I used are - Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers & Wilted Violet. Most of them are my most used colours! I used Simon Says Stamp CZ Design Hugs Die, I love this one it's the perfect size and I love the font. I used one of my Printed Sentiments from Simon Says Stamp. They are so useful to have on hand, I need to restock! I finished by adding some Dew Drops from Lucy's Little Things.

Supplies;
Simon Says Stamp Dies - CZ Design Hugs
Craft Sensations Stencils - Floral Pack
Distress Oxide Inks - Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet

In other news, I have great delight in announcing I will be April's Guest Designer for Clearly Besotted! I am beyond excited and I can't wait to share the previews with you tomorrow! I also was invited to join the Time For Tea Design Team so I will be sharing my first project for them tomorrow too!

Sending Sunshine and Smiles

Good morning peeps. A week ago I decided I wanted to do something nice for people as the past year has been eventful for us all to say the least. I decided each day I would make little Random Act of Kindness things and give them out to random people I don't know that live in our neighbourhood. I've been making a gift bag, a tag to attach to it, a handmade card and also a handmade lemon drizzle cake. It's been keeping me busy and I just hope it brings some smiles to people. Anyway so here is one of the cards I made for that...

I've always loved this bunny image! It is from the Avery Elle Wheelie Great Stamp Set. I coloured the images with Copic Pens and cut them out. I created the background using my MFT Cloud Edges Stencil with some Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink. I then blended some Mowed Grass Distress Oxide Ink onto white card and die cut it using MFT Grassy Edges Die. I then added a stamped sentiment. I added a strip of patterned paper, added the images with foam pads and added some pearls to finish.

Supplies;
Avery Elle Stamps - Wheelie Great
MFT Die-namics Dies - Grassy Edges
MFT Stencils - Cloud Edges
Distress Oxide Inks - Mermaid Lagoon, Mowed Lawn

Mother's Day Hugs

Hello crafty friends. Today's card was actually my prototype that I made. I actually went on to make over 300 of this card for a charity close to my heart. Each one was sent out on Mother's Day to mothers that don't have contact with their child due to PA. I received tons of comments from mothers who normally dread the day that were so cheered up by this, so I am happy that I contributed to making the day that bit easier. Here is the card...

For this card I used Altenew Rose Bouquet Stencil. I coloured the image with my Worn Lipstick, Mowed Lawn & Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Inks. I then splashed the background with some of the ink watered down. The sentiment stamps are from Avery Elle from the set called Simply Said Hugs. I then added some gems from Lucy's Little Things. I had to keep it simple of course making that many, especially as nearly all my cards are one offs! Thank god for my Misti & Media Mat!

Supplies;
