You Are My Sunshine- Lee Holland

Hi everyone

I hope you are all well. I'm off away again this Bank Holiday weekend to the Covid hotspot of England, yes Cornwall... Yikes. I'm hoping the weather will be good as my partner and I are attending a 50th birthday party. On the way back from Cornwall we're stopping off at Portsmouth for a night to visit the historic dockyard. So a busy weekend! This evening I'm sharing a card I have made using a new stamp to me, but I believe it's been around for a while and here it is...


To make this card I used the following

6x6 card base
Lee Holland Designs - 'You Are My Sunshine' stamp (this is such a cutie) which comes with sentiment
coloured with Promarker's onto Neenah Classic Card
Papers are Craft Sensations - Stars Shining
Bling and ribbon from stash.

Have a great Bank holiday weekend if you have one and I hope the weather improves with a bit of sun. See you all next week.

Stampendous 'Snow Bird'

Good afternoon everyone

I hope everyone had a good weekend? I spent the weekend crafting which was rather relaxing, I'm trying new techniques using watercolour pens and ink, I'm not sharing them today, but will in the future. The weather is improving here in 'sunny Southend' it's rather warm but no sun! Today I am sharing a card using a stamp I've had for years and never inked up and here it is...


Ingredients Used are:
6x6 card base
Stampendous Cling Stamp 'Snow Bird'
coloured with Promarker's on to Neenah Classic card
Inkylicious Bauble stencil, as you can see I cut round the stencil and this was a bit of a pain!

I'm not sure where the Embossing folder came from as I store mine out their packages, sorry

Ribbon and bling from my stash.

Anyway so as the weather is improving I'm sharing a Christmas card with you all and here it is...

Bildmalarna 7 Deadly Sins - Envy

Good morning friends,

It's another Saturday and week one of August is already done... yikes where is this year going? Yet again the weather here in 'sunny Southend' is hit and miss again, it's very cloudy this morning with the sun just breaking out every now and then, let's hope it stays out, (I wrote too soon, it's raining!) The Olympics finish tomorrow and I can honestly say that I've thoroughly enjoyed watching it, some of the more obscure sports have caught my attention. Anyway, I'm here to show you another card I have made using another old stamp from Bildmalarna - I love this range of stamps, so here she is...


To make this card I used the following:
6x6 Card blank
Bildmalarna stamp- 7 deadly sins, this one is called Envy
coloured with Promarker's onto Neenah classic card
Dies are Creative Dies Plus - Wonky Stitches and I have no idea on the background die as I took it out of the packaging
Papers from my snippet pile
Craftwork Cards sentiment
Everything else from stash.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and see you soon.
