Addicted to Spring

By
At first I wondered at Kylie's sanity - Spring cards in September????? But then I realised that where Kylie is it is Spring 'cos Kylie lives in Australia and while we are being plunged into dark evenings, wet leaves and frosty mornings, Down Under it is getting warmer................do you have any spare rooms Kylie?
Anyway - back to my card. Of course the challenge is Addicted to Stamps  and here is my card for our third Theme challenge 'SPRING'


I went with a zingy fresh green to stamp my leaves - a mish mash of sets, there's little leaves from Pocket Silhouettes, Big leaves from My Friend and tall elegant leaves from Just Believe. My flowers have been punched using a bright yellow and the sentiment has been stamped in a matching ink. A few pearls add a finishing touch.



Don't forget to pop over to take a look at all the other dt cards on the blog, they are as always gorgeous. Thanks for looking today - it's great to have your company - Jacqueline xx

    Oh Jacqueline, I certainly DO have a spare bed! Another bit of trivia for you - we don't even have heating in my house. All we need over winter is to put on a jumper and throw a blanket over our knees if it gets a little chilly. I love how you have created your spring card. It's beautiful!! xx

    Hi Jacqueline......can I tag along and spend Spring with Kylie? Can you imagine no heating??? Absolutely love your card. I've been trying to decide if the front is shorter than the back of the card as that's what the photo shows but it's absolutely gorgeous with the colours and the pearls just add that little something extra.

    Wow! Jacqueline - that is a fantastic combination of stamps and your card is stunning! I think Kylie may need to be building an extension because there's another taker for spring with Kylie here! Vicky x

    Lol I too have a spare room! Unfortunately during winter we do require heating as I'm much further south than Kylie. Spring is the most gorgeous season of all here - perfectly warm and sunny.

    Love your card Jacqueline. You've used perfect Spring colours and I love the little pearl topped flowers! x

Beauty of the Deep

I do love my nature stamps and I also love stamps of the sea whether it be above or below the waves. I have taken possession of a new set from the catalogue called Beauty of the Deep. I have made a card with this set as it lends it's self perfectly to the the new Boho Blue In Colour. It also has a gorgeous little fish which I couldn't wait to use - take a look Although I've mostly used blue ink I had added white highlights with a gel pen and then to finish it off a little sparkly blue gem. Thanks for stopping by today - if you wish to place an order or request a catalogue please drop me a message at  jacquelinenm68@gmail.com

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx

In The Frame.

Yesterday was birthday and my lovely husband bought me some crafting stash. Unfortunately he duplicated an ink pad (Distress Ink - Tea Dye) but the craft shop where he bought it were very kind and let me exchange it for something else. That something was a fab little Crafty Individuals stamp. So I raced home, turned my craft room upside down looking for my EZ Mount, and made this card for this week's Less is More  challenge. This week the girls wanted a one layer card with the theme 'In the Frame' Here is my card I made this by first masking off an area in the center of the card - directly on to a 5" x 5" white card blank. Then using my brayer I added some yellow, blue and green ink to the card. The masks were removed and the image was stamped over the brayered square. Thanks ladies for another fantastic challenge - Jacqueline xx.
