Guess who has been playing with stencils again 😃

The bottom card front is definitely waiting for something spooky 👻
I used the back of one of the card fronts from the Paper Pumpkin kit.

Hello everyone ♥️ I hope this finds you well x

I decided to spend my lunchtime making September’s Paper Pumpkin kit. Guess what lunch has been and gone and no crafting has been done ☹️.
Maybe later ♥️

Craft your joy all ♥️

Happy Saturday everyone ♥️

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
I am very busy making Swaps for a retreat I am going on next weekend.

I also am looking at replacing my business name with a new logo and name.

Any thoughts on this one below would be appreciated ♥️
My current business name is a bit long.

Pecan Pie
Mossy Meadow

You can use all the colours or just one or two to create something you love.

When hot foil meets embossing folders♥️

I have had so much fun playing with Stampin’ Up!’s hot foil machine and embossing folders.
I have seen a few demos have a go at this technique and wanted to try it out.
This is not something which is endorsed by Stampin’ Up!, but I couldn’t resist.

No embossing folders were harmed 🤣

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I fancy making a card or gift tag without getting all my craft supplies out. Other times, I just want to curl up in front of the television and enjoy a little crafting. ♥️

If that sounds like you too, take a look at the new Festive Plaid Pop-Outs Kit from Stampin’ Up! It makes 10 cards and 10 gift tags perfect for a cosy evening of Christmas crafting. 🎄

You can get it here https://www.stampinup.uk/products/festive-plaid-pop-outs-kit?demoid=5066609

And the making video is here https://youtu.be/rXShPrBIW2s?si=XwWXZSL61-gYgsTA

I can’t wait for mine to arrive! I’m planning to take it on my weekend away next month so I can enjoy a little creative downtime. ♥️

Thanks for your patience, I have finally finished my take on this week’s ♥️
I used the new Dreamy Snowflakes Hybrid Embossing Folder and the hot foil system from Stampin’ Up!®️ to make the snowflakes. I then used the leftover foil on Two Tone Night of Navy card to make the background.
The last thing I did was use the sentiment, banners and gloves from the coordinating stamp set to finish the card.

What will you be inspired to create?♥️

Well made plans…..

I said I would post my card for the Global Design Project last night. However it took me a few tries to get the hot foil sandwich right when using an embossing folder. 🤣
I finally got it right just before bedtime 🥱
So unfortunately it will be tonight you see the end result ♥️

Craft your joy ♥️
