❤️🖤 A Poppy-Inspired Card for Festive Friday! 🖤❤️

It's time for another , and this time our inspiration is Armistice Day/Veterans Day.

I've used the beautiful open flower from the Boutique Blossoms Stamp Set to create my own poppy-inspired design.

A little masking, some watercolouring with Real Red, Mossy Meadow and Cloud Cover inks, and some silver heat embossing all came together to create this sympathy card.

And that little black button in the centre? It's actually a white Christmas button that I've coloured with my Stampin' Blends! ✨

I managed to include SIX elements from our inspiration list!

❤️ Red
🖤 Black
🎨 Watercolour
🌺 Poppies
🔘 Buttons
💌 Sympathy Sentiment

Which three elements would YOU choose?

🐭🎄 Christmas Cheer – with a little help from some cheeky mice!

Oh, I do love these little characters from the A Little Christmas Designer Series Paper!

For the second card in this week's Live from the Lilypad, I took the same card sketch, turned it sideways and created something completely different.

A little patterned paper, a few cardstock banners, some fussy cutting and a star from an old die set!

No need to buy something new every time you craft. Sometimes the perfect finishing touch is already hiding in your stash. 💛

And that is exactly what my upcoming **Stash Bash** crafty club is going to be all about!

Be honest – are you a fan of fussy cutting, or do you avoid it whenever possible? ✂️😂

⏰ Woohoo! An extra hour! ⏰

The clocks go back tonight, and the big question is…

What are you doing with your extra hour?

🛌 A — Staying snuggled up in bed
✂️ B — Sneaking into the craft room
☕ C — Enjoying a leisurely cuppa
🐶 D — Walking the dog

I'm wondering just how many of us will be choosing B! 😂

Tell me your answer below!

🌺 Christmas Joy with Pretty Poinsettias 🌺

Traditional Christmas colours, beautiful textures and just a little sparkle!

This was my first card from Wednesday's Live from the Lilypad, inspired by a simple card sketch.

I used the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle, adding some gorgeous embossed detail with the Stampin' Up! Impressions Plate.

The combination of Cherry Cobbler, Real Red and Peaceful Pine works so beautifully together, especially with that brushed red metallic background. ❤️

And those little pops of yellow in the flower centres really finish everything off!

You'll find more photographs, details and the video replay over on my blog.

Are you a traditional red-and-green Christmas card maker, or do you prefer something less traditional?

🎨 A little colour challenge for you today!

Apparently, it's National Color Day in the US (otherwise we would have spelled it right😂😂)

So I've got a question for all my crafty friends…

Imagine you could only have THREE cardstock colours in your craft room (plus Basic White!) for the rest of the year. 😱

Which three would you choose?

I'm not sure I could manage it, but I'd love to know your answers!

Pop your three colours in the comments. ⬇️

🎄 ONE SKETCH – TWO CHRISTMAS CARDS! 🎄

Who says you have to follow a card sketch exactly?

During this week's Live from the Lilypad, I challenged myself to create two cards using the same sketch, but with very different results!

🌺 One features beautiful, embossed poinsettias.

🐭 The other features some rather cheeky Christmas mice!

I even turned the sketch sideways for the second card. After all, there are no crafty police! 😂

I've shared both cards, some measurements and lots of crafty inspiration over on my blog.

💛 Which is your favourite – the poinsettias or the mice?

You can find the video on my page and on You Tube, or check out my blog post.

🍎 It's Apple Day! 🍎

Now, I do love a good apple crumble, especially at this time of year, but there are so many delicious ways to enjoy apples!

So here's today's very important question…

🍎 Apple crumble
🥧 Apple pie
🍰 Apple cake
🍏 Just a lovely crunchy apple

Which gets your vote? Or is there something else I should be adding to the list?

Let's see which comes out on top! 💛
