Welcome back and today I thought I would share a card made during our lockdown. One of my favourite stamp sets from Altenew is the Beautiful Day set and it is perfect combined with the Beautiful Heart stamp set.
This card is sitting on my desk to keep me inspired on my papercrafting journey.
To make this card I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card base from white cardstock. I have cut a piece of pearlescent vellum from Lawn Fawn 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and embossed it with the Tufted embossing folder from Stampin Up and adhered it to the front of the card. I have then cut the edge using the Lawn Fawn Reversed Stitched Rectangle die and adhere to the card front.
I have stamped the images from the Beautiful Day and Beautiful Heart stamp sets with Ranger Archival Jet Black ink on Iris cardstock. I have then coloured the images with Zig Clean Colour Brush markers and die cut with the coordinating dies. I played around with the images until I found a pleasing arrangement and then adhere to the front of the card.
To finish the card I have stamped the image from the Altenew Best Sentiments stamp set in Jet Black ink on white cardstock using the Misti. I trimmed the sentiment leaving a small white edge and then adhered to the flowers as shown with some fun foam.
I love how I can mix and match the stamp sets and be so creative with them. And I love this sentiment and why not make a card to inspire you to challenge and inspire yourself!

Welcome back. I don’t know about you but I feel that I have been coming out of hibernation after being in lockdown for so long. Here in New Zealand we are in the fortunate position of very few new cases and a country opening up again but I am still very wary of going out and meeting people.
Today I want to share a card showcasing the gorgeous new decorative dies from Heartfelt Creations and the lovely pansy image from the Burst of Spring collection. I have recently done an online course on how to use Zig Clean Colour Brush markers with Rajni Chawla (please contact her on Facebook for more information) and my colouring has improved immensely. I love how the image pops out against the gorgeous dies. I have also used some pearlised vellum from Lawn Fawn for a contrast with the white cardstock. The photos doe not do this card just with all the glitter and contrast.
Products Used:
Heartfelt Creations Decorative Circle Frames Die
Heartfelt Creations Burst of Spring Stamp & Die set
White cardstock
Iris Cardstock
Zig Clean Colour Brush Markers
Lawn Fawn Pearlised Vellum
Pearls
Please stay safe and well. Kia Kaha – stay strong.

I like to make more flowers and leaves than I need so I have extra flowers to make a quick card.
Welcome back. Today I am sharing a card for everyone out there that has been impacted by Covid19. In New Zealand we have finally started coming out of lockdown to a very different world and it is still very scary out there despite very low numbers of new cases in NZ. I have spent the time at home working on my colouring skills and different flowers using different techniques.
I have been looking for this LR026 decorative die from Marianne Designs for some time and was thrilled when I was able to get it from E-Bay. I know that I am going to get a lot of use with it as it is the perfect backdrop for lovely flowers. I was inspired by Uma Didwania with her Heartfelt Creations.Wild Roses created using Dress My Craft Soft Oriental Paper.

Welcome back to a very different Mother’s Day celebration today. I am at home with my husband and daughter having a very quiet day and will be hopefully catching up with my son when our restrictions are released in the next week or so.
I have a special card to cheer all those celebrating Mother’s Day around the world. I have used Heartfelt Creations Wild Rose and Oakberry Lane flowers and leaves with the new Elegant Oval Frame dies. I have had limited craft supplies at home and so have used the Calla Lily papers with these flowers.
I apologise for the quality of the photos – the lighting is not great at home.
I hope that you are safe and well wherever you are in the world. Kia Kaha – stay strong
