2018 card challenge - March card

Hello, long time no post!

Back in April I went away for a crafty weekend with friends, and actually made a nice stack of cards that I've yet to share.

Since I'm currently in a crafting no-go zone and just enjoying other things right now (like my redecorated and blissfully cool lounge on an evening + Mad Men on Netflix) I thought it was time to get some of these cards posted before I end up sending them!

So, if you cast your mind back, the prompt for March was rainbow colours, and I made this very simple flat card in response:

Paper: Lawn Fawn - Really Rainbow
Stamps: Concord & 9th - Rainbow Wishes, Mama Elephant - Scripty Bday
Die: Mama Elephant - All Prettied Up
Other: Stamp positioner

While on my crafty weekend I got to play with another friend's stamp and die stash, including the lovely Scripty Bday stamps from Mama Elephant and the All Prettied Up die set - both of which are now on my wishlist.

The new Concord & 9th Rainbow Wishes stamp set also had its first outing. I do love a good rainbow and I really liked the idea of building it with different ink colours.

And there we have it, until the next card!

2018 card challenge - July prompt

As you can tell from my blog feed and Instagram, I'm currently taking a crafting hiatus and enjoying this lovely weather and other things on an evening/weekend.

I'm sure I'll get the crafting bug again, but for the moment I'm not forcing it and just taking pleasure in other things. :)

In the meantime, here's this month's prompt for the challenge.

July is all about:

Celebration!

A fitting theme for a personal greeting card. :D

There's no doubt many an occasion to celebrate:

• Birthdays
• Weddings, anniversaries, engagements
• Babies, pregnancy announcements
• Graduation
• New job
• New home
• Congratulating someone on a particular achievement or a dream come true

Whatever you choose to celebrate, have fun crafting!
