Hey Y’all so it’s been a while since I blogged mainly due to weeknin week out work travel but I have been crafting in the background and showing everything on Instagram instead<br />
<br />
I’m going to try and pop some creations on here 2-3 times a week and see how we go .. I’ll still be on Facebook and Instagram<br />
<br />
I thought I would share a sneak peak from the next LOTV release with you today ... I love this cute bunny<br />

But you can find me on Instagram instead<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Hi all,<br />
<br />
It's been a difficult decision to make but for the moment until I can get some time to consistently write up posts I will only be sharing my cards on Instagram probably for at least for the rest of the 2018.<br />
<br />
I feel like I keep popping in and out of here and its been a difficult decision to just try social media for a few weeks so i can continue to share!<br />

<br />
The image was stamped onto Neenah Solar white card stock and coloured in with Copic markers. I then fussy cut around the cute penguin extending the base out to give some snow.<br />
<br />
I splattered Copic Opaque White onto a scrap of dark blue card stock and then trimmed each into a panel using avery elle pierced rectangle. A quick hello sentiment from CBS and then mounted onto a card base made from Neenah 110lb card stock.<br />
<br />
I am off to watch OVO Cirque du Soleil this afternoon with my Mum then hopefully I will make it to the Ice hockey tonight.<br />

Hope you all have a great Saturday<br />

Good Morning.. sorry its been a while, I was locked out of google for 3-4 weeks along with some heavy work travel to Germany over August. In the back ground I have still been crafting so I thought I would share a little card with you!<br />
<br />
I picked up some quirky MFT birthday sentiments back in may and it was perfect for a friend who has 'Stopped Counting' birthdays<br />
<br />

<br />
The flowers from Honeybee Zen flowers are coloured in with distress oxides and the panel cut out using Avery Elle pierced rectangle.<br />
<br />
Its then mounted onto a simple black card base. Taks me back to CAS routes...<br />

Hope you have a great Friday... I'll be back soon<br />

Morning... First Christmas card of the year made from a panel I actually coloured in last year but never managed to do anything with. <br />
I'm not normally this early but I'm still trying to empty the box of bits and pieces and this was in it so I thought I might as well make it into a card at least.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkkyMGBza8fCNj2XNLDPoAD9xQG2WckvKdmNmP3F98Qh_ev4i1UYtGd9QAobbTGp-sVgUf1UjfTJjvsIfsQEsJ66mopaKViNlgTKV7oeCl34TXWC6ytuuf7PB4jANKIQhTjZPQlpCBQUU/s1600/Joyful+Wishes+Apr-18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1347" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkkyMGBza8fCNj2XNLDPoAD9xQG2WckvKdmNmP3F98Qh_ev4i1UYtGd9QAobbTGp-sVgUf1UjfTJjvsIfsQEsJ66mopaKViNlgTKV7oeCl34TXWC6ytuuf7PB4jANKIQhTjZPQlpCBQUU/s640/Joyful+Wishes+Apr-18.jpg" width="538" /></a></div>
<br />
I created a panel using the poinsettia stamp from the retired Stampin Up Set Joyful Christmas. I stamped it multiple times and then coloured it in with distress oxides . I added the sentiment from the set and then splatted the page with gold paint.<br />
Its finished off with some gold german glass glitter and then mounted on a kraft card base.<br />
<br />
That's all from me today<br />

I coloured the reindeer in with copic markers before carefully fussy cutting out the image leaving a small white border.<br />
I cut out a panel with the pierced rectangle die from avery elle and then embossed this with the softy falling EF from Stampin U|p. Its finished off with a sentiment on black card from a retired Stampin Up set.<br />
I then added the panel to a Lemon Lime Twist card base.<br />

Good Morning.... I have some more inspiration from this weeks Hochanda LOTV sets from Monday. This has to be one of my favourite examples I made. It uses an image from the Christmas Friends set which you can find <a href="https://www.hochanda.com/Product/40551/Lili-of-the-Valley-Christmas-Friends-2-x-A5-Stamp-Sheets-18-Stamps/964273">HERE</a><br />

<br />
I coloured the image in with copics and added some glossy accents to the nose and baubles before mounting it behind a stitched circle aperture made from Neenah Desert storm card stock.<br />
I stamped the sentiment from Clearly Besotted stamps onto black card stock and then heat embossed it with WOW ultra white embossing powder.<br />
I added some glitter to the Santa and then placed the sentiment on foam tape over the circle.<br />
<br />
I have a few more to share with you over the next couple of days then no more christmas cards for a while!<br />
<br />
have a great Thursday<br />

Morning.... I have another one of the Hochanda samples to share with you today... this is from the Festive Folk set and you can find it on the website <a href="https://www.hochanda.com/Product/40546/Lili-of-the-Valley-Festive-Folk-2-x-A5-Stamp-Sheets-29-Stamps/712337">HERE</a><br />
<br />
I just love these cute owls and the Scandinavian styling. I went for purples and blues for my colour theme!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I coloured in the image on neenah card stock with copic markers and added a little glitter pen to the hearts and bobbles on the hats. I trimmed down the panel so the branch was hanging over the edge before mounting it onto a card based made of Rich Razzleberry card stock from Stampin Up.<br />
I added a sentiment from an old LOTV set onto a strip of the same coloured card with white embossing powder and finished it off with some sequin strip down the edge.<br />
<br />
I have a few more example to show you this week so I will see you tomorrow....<br />

For this image I coloured it in with copic markers before using a pierced rectangle die from Avery Elle to edge the panel. I added lots of distress glitter to the star and some sparkle and white gel pen to the bauble.<br />
I mounted the panel onto neenah dessert storm card stock before finishing it off with a simple sentiment from a retired Stampin Up set.<br />

Morning All, Sorry I've taken a couple of weeks pretty much off, My laptop died and Ive had to get a new one and then transfer everything over to it so not had much time for crafting and even then couldn't get the photos off my camera!<br />
<br />
Today LOTV are on Hochanda at 11am and 3pm BST and I am sharing one of the stamps you will be able to get hold of exclusively today! How cute is this....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The image is coloured in with Copic markers and I have cut it out with Avery Elle Pierced Square dies. The sentiment is an old LOTV set and it is then mounted onto Kraft card stock base.<br />
<br />
I'll have some more to share with you this week.. the images are exclusive to Hochanda for 2 weeks then if any rubber are left you will be able to get them over on the LOTV website<br />

I picked up this 'Photo booth' from Your Next Stamp from Dies to Dies for when I went to Happy Stampers as I absolutely loved the cute dog and cat images.<br />
I coloured in the image with Copics before mounting it behind a panel cut out using the MFT window die. I then added a sentiment using Stampin Ups Labeller Alpha set<br />
Its finished off by mounting onto a Black card base.<br />

Happy Sunday .... It's Fathers Day in the UK today but I cannot share that card until later in the week so I thought I would make a card for this weeks CAS(e) This Sketch.<br />

<br />
I smooshed some Broken China Distress Oxide onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb card stock and let it dry.<br />
Whilst drying I stamped and coloured the little fishes from the <a href="https://sevenhillscrafts.co.uk/brands/my-favorite-things/gill-friends.html">MFT Gill Friends</a> set using my copics. I then fussy cut these out and added details to some of them with a white gel pen, nuvo drops or wink of stella.<br />
Once the panel was dry, I stamped the Birthday Fishes sentiment out of the set using Versa CLAIR black ink and then arrange the fish over the panel, lifting some with foam tape.<br />

Morning Y'all, sorry missed a couple of days, I have had cards made but simply didn't have time to get them edited last weekend in full and then the posts written up...<br />
<br />
For today's card I'm using one of the MFT stamps from last months release... <a href="https://sevenhillscrafts.co.uk/brands/my-favorite-things/safari-party.html">Safari Party</a> I couldn't resist these little crocs.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFJLd1ReYwzQ5QWED-KVC2e1r0nfiKz6MiQZ2Qm_9bXxaYW55zKMdRC8-GpunUhqvYzovLVa9rheA7znlxYr1c89_XDO7Y3D-DfcHYGsImHg699-Lp1nFFwFT4kgERd7oYAm0q24SS5OE/s1600/Paty+Animal+Jun-18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1355" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFJLd1ReYwzQ5QWED-KVC2e1r0nfiKz6MiQZ2Qm_9bXxaYW55zKMdRC8-GpunUhqvYzovLVa9rheA7znlxYr1c89_XDO7Y3D-DfcHYGsImHg699-Lp1nFFwFT4kgERd7oYAm0q24SS5OE/s640/Paty+Animal+Jun-18.jpg" width="542" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
I started by drawing a pencil line across a piece of Neenah Solar white card stock before using my MISTI to stamp the croc multiple times across the piece.<br />
I then coloured the images in using Copic Markers before adding the sentiment from the same set.<br />
<br />
I added some texture to the crocs using a white gel pen and adding dots and then a doodle line from the sentiment out to the edge of the panel.<br />
<br />
It's finished off by mounting onto a black top folding card blank.<br />
<br />
I just about made it home from Frankfurt last night as my original flight home was cancelled but it was a very late one so I plan on spending the day R&R and in the craft studio making cards.<br />
<br />
Hope you have a lovely Saturday<br />
<br />

Morning... I have another card using a different stamp from the Birthday Wit Stampin Up set I used last week. I absolutely love this card and the sentiment and have a couple of friends this would be perfect for... you know who you are!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguxPU5jv5ymTl9Y7yGP_rFuvIncvYbY251t4nAyfhoFrnJMAnJY7AE0T8_wphHeUWEmNDdOF6MXkaFeLCo1VZImmJg6NtwdXsrCsSNj1lIY-ZMdcoA-J7yKFynWHdXvDUIiMa7WG_Anto/s1600/This+is+your+Birthday+Apr-18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1372" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguxPU5jv5ymTl9Y7yGP_rFuvIncvYbY251t4nAyfhoFrnJMAnJY7AE0T8_wphHeUWEmNDdOF6MXkaFeLCo1VZImmJg6NtwdXsrCsSNj1lIY-ZMdcoA-J7yKFynWHdXvDUIiMa7WG_Anto/s640/This+is+your+Birthday+Apr-18.jpg" width="548" /></a></div>
<br />
I used the same method as the last card by using the MISTI and masking off each section with a post it note. The only difference this time is I used Stampin Up markers instead of ink pads and I think it gives it a little bit of texture to the stamping.<br />
I added some simple doodles around the edge and mounted the panel onto a card blank made from neenah desert storm card stock.<br />
<br />
I'll be back soon with another card to share with you<br />
<br />
Have a great day<br />

Morning. Today I have used the Elephant Birthday set from Mama Makes again for another fun birthday card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6MhPOKPDAcLPjbXmR_7bLhUiDZITR89D7rkQnzU0DCTKP6ZOOvoqtDp34DmnlcqoTvDMHse3EyXdXTndaeWMAQpiqtkPsOn91mNz2UuBGsYnYu5YuDWNx9JxK_3j5ivbX5PkEop6v2Oo/s1600/BIrthday+ele+2+Apr-18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1331" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6MhPOKPDAcLPjbXmR_7bLhUiDZITR89D7rkQnzU0DCTKP6ZOOvoqtDp34DmnlcqoTvDMHse3EyXdXTndaeWMAQpiqtkPsOn91mNz2UuBGsYnYu5YuDWNx9JxK_3j5ivbX5PkEop6v2Oo/s640/BIrthday+ele+2+Apr-18.jpg" width="532" /></a></div>
<br />
I stamped out the image onto neenah solar white card stock and then added the party hat from the set. I didn't bother masking anything off as you could not tell once it was coloured in with copics.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtaQ7ToIB3VtCFjFEYkQqW6VbN5fO6r9u8pj3ZSUQKdsP5lXvdz6srJI0P6y6nZVQFZDrsnBB50142NLyjgDMnvRf9fLmLltVoDLAII02XWrzsfw4wOuLK6t7MRhsyniD40mboOoHQD7k/s1600/Ele+Birthday+Apr-18.jpg" imageanchor="1"></a><br />
<br />
The sentiment is from the same set and used the MISTI to make sure I got it straight. The panel was then trimmed down so I could add some colour down each side. For this I used some DSP from doodlebug and some glitter card stock from Stampin Up, cut into really thin strips.<br />
<br />
The card is finished off with a little sparkle added to the hat.<br />
<br />
I'm hopefully back on track with crafting and blogging now I have stopped travelling as much, although I am making cards for the week either over the weekend or a night in the week rather than every day now which is a lot easier to manage.<br />
<br />
Have a lovely Thursday<br />

Happy Tuesday... hope you are all having a fabulous week so far. I managed a little crafting over the weekend and this card for CAS(e) This Sketch uses the new stamp I bought on Saturday...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX2ZwAeCduXiSqDZGhRv4xJLdrBI8YSJHTuzwTEx66WlCnqEYOZpUoJR5PGfJUT-9ac9n9tnYNii3lAHvNkGe5g97HqibgNfg6hDvcpHtAdHGt1b0q91JO9F8E0dNJj52oaAYakvp837I/s1600/Monster+Wishes+Jun-18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1324" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX2ZwAeCduXiSqDZGhRv4xJLdrBI8YSJHTuzwTEx66WlCnqEYOZpUoJR5PGfJUT-9ac9n9tnYNii3lAHvNkGe5g97HqibgNfg6hDvcpHtAdHGt1b0q91JO9F8E0dNJj52oaAYakvp837I/s640/Monster+Wishes+Jun-18.jpg" width="528" /></a></div>
<br />
I stamped monster image from the Aall & Create set #13 onto a piece of neenah 80lb card stock and then using a circle die and a pencil drew a light circle where I wanted to partially die cut the area out.<br />
I then fussy cut around the top of the image cutting down a litter further down the side to allow the die to slip in the gap. I used a stitched circle die from Simon Says Stamp to cut out a circle in the card panel lifting the fussy cut section over the die so it didn't cut the area over the image.<br />
<br />
I coloured the image in with copic markers and then trimmed down the panel with a craft knife, being careful to avoid the foot which I also fussy cut around.<br />
<br />
The panel is mounted onto some very old DSP from Stampin Up and and a simple sentiment from Clearly Besotted is added onto Lemon Line Twist Stampin Up card stock.<br />
<br />
I used this <a href="http://casethissketch.blogspot.com/2018/06/case-this-sketch-275.html">CAS(e) This Sketch #275</a> as inspiration for the card<br />

Happy Monday Y'all. I have a LOTV card to share with you all today using Scruffy Edward from the release back in April. I absolutely loved this little elephant and wanted to make another little card using a second image I had already coloured in.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP028V0MzNhJe2g23iA0_D-CHj_xGvOCNurP9oQ_3tv-0SsWQsvSllPrTEHs7iWM_1FJl0HXQWFGcjPnLbBHwkr2qjlFua7Ucl9gGLgHn5MwH5Pzed0nryCWD4mI54PDgz7WhZw81Xgnw/s1600/Scruffy+Edward+New+Baby+May-18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1532" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP028V0MzNhJe2g23iA0_D-CHj_xGvOCNurP9oQ_3tv-0SsWQsvSllPrTEHs7iWM_1FJl0HXQWFGcjPnLbBHwkr2qjlFua7Ucl9gGLgHn5MwH5Pzed0nryCWD4mI54PDgz7WhZw81Xgnw/s640/Scruffy+Edward+New+Baby+May-18.jpg" width="612" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
After printing off the digi image I coloured it in using copics and then fussy cut out the elephant and the balloon.<br />
I created a panel scene using some soft sky and pear pizzazz card stock from Stampin Up and added some memory box clouds. I added a sentiment from Clearly Besotted Stamps and then mounted the images on foam tape. I ran some string behind the hand of the elephant before securing it down on the card. I then added the end behind the balloon and added a small bow.<br />
<br />
I really love creating scenes with a mix of images and dies... even if they all tend to look the same :-)<br />
<br />
I'll be back later in the week.. have a lovely Monday<br />
<br />
