Saffire's Stamping

Good morning everyone and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from LeAnn's World 101. This month, our challenge is an Anything Goes one as always, but we would love to see you using one of LeAnn's gorgeous images from the store!

I have used the adorable Bridie for my card this card to create an "I miss you" card for one of my friends. I haven't been able to see them for over a month now because of the lock down and life generally being busy! This one is just to them know that I'm thinking of them during this madness!

Good morning and welcome to today's post. I was lucky enough to win some fabulous digis from Sweet November Stamps this month - their last release, which I am sad about as I have only recently discovered these cuties from Amy Young and fast became an avid follower of both Amy and the Sweet November stamps. Using Amy's colour along video that she did on Facebook a few weeks back, I created this cute scene using 2 of the digis that I won.

Now I'm by no means a drawer at all, but I think this turned out pretty good! The tree was totally inspired by Amy as was the river which I decided to add in at the last minute, hence why it's not very big at all! I do think my tree's branches are a bit too long, and I went for the stippling technique to do the leaves rather than curls like Amy did, but I do like it! I added the sentiment with my new alphabet dies from Mama Elephant, but as an after thought, should have done Hoppy Easter instead of Happy!

This project is for Simon Sa…

Good morning and welcome to my inspiration post for LeAnn's World 101 today! I hope you are all keeping safe with this virus pandemic and have a bit more time for crafting too!

My card today uses the adorable My Homeimage, which I combined with some old retired papers from Stampin' Up for a bright, summery look! I'm in desperate need of some warm summer sun, but don't think that's on the horizon just yet!

Good morning and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is called Flowers of Spring, so we want to see lots of pretty flowers on your card, whether as an image or as embellishments or even on patterned papers.

I used the gorgeous Tulipsfor my card, which I think are the perfect flowers for spring, along with daffodils of course. Unfortunately I didn't have any yellow tulips paper flowers to add to my card, so I used my flowers from PetalLu instead. After printing and colouring her, I fussy cut round her to add to a yellow dotted background, which I much prefer to a white one!

Good morning and welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday post. I got some of the new Lawn Fawn sets this month and this one with all these cute little bugs just reminded me so much of A Bug's Life, which is one of my favourite Disney movies, so had to grab it!

I attempted to make a more masculine birthday card this time, as they are ones I rarely have in my stash and these bugs work so well for it.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to my inspiration post for the new release from Faery Ink. This gorgeous image is called Spring Moon Lahla - isn't she just gorgeous?! I went for a blue and silver colour combo on this one, but coloured her before looking for patterned papers and I am seriously lacking in anything silver or dark blue! Need to fix that!

This card is also for

Good Saturday morning and welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday post. I cannot believe we are in March already - where has the past two months gone to?! I had a long list of things to do during my half term holiday the other week and got hardly any of them done and today's card shares a stamp set that is one of the reasons why. I stamped up lots of my new goodies and coloured them all, rather than ticking off things (boring things, mind you!) off my to do list.

Today's card uses the adorable Sweet Plushies from Clearly Besotted's February release - aren't they just adorable?! I made a grid style card, but this time cut out the rectangles and layered them on top of the paper rather then trying to get them all lined up to make a frame! I went for lots of bright colours with this one as well.

Good morning everyone and welcome to my DT post for the new challenge from The Paper Shelter. This week our challenge is called Circle It, so we want to see lots of circles on your project!

I used the gorgeousLittle Flower Lady for my card, using my Grand Nestabilities to make a circular card base and then added another layer using a different circle die, followed by a circular sentiment frame. I made this into a Mother's Day card as it is Mother's Day here in the UK at the end of March.

Good morning and welcome to today's post! I thought I would share with you all a little card I made at the weekend for the Inky Paws Challenge using Newton's Nook Designs Stamps. I love these cute kitties and when I saw the new challenge was to use polka dots, I just had to join in as dots are my fave pattern. I have heaps of clothes, bags, hair accessories and shoes with dots on and they are always my favourite patterned papers to use in my card making too!

I used strips of dotty papers to make the background look a bit like the cake from the stamp with the scalloped edging. Love how bright and colourful this card is!
