A little pick-up

Time to do some crafting!

Some friends have moved after having their home on the market for quite some time, and as is the way of 2020, things did not go smoothly :(  but they eventually got where they were going and the unpacking is finally underway!

I got inspired to make a card - while I was tidying up, and ended up making more mess!  LOL  You know how it is, right?

Anyway, here is my card:

I have some really old Stampin' Up stamps "Loads of Love" (2004 according to SU) but I can't recall ever using the "Loads of Love Accessories" that I managed to find in an Op Shop.  I always figured it would be a good set for 'moving house' cards :)

Image was stamped and using the "The Stampers Buddy" I was able to line up the accessories stamps.  Image was coloured in with Copics, highlighted with clear & Silver embossing and a splash of 'Kindy Glitz'.

Layout was sort of inspired by Sketch Saturday #650 (with a slight change to proportions) using Spellbinders Squares & Circles.  

The As You Like It challenge asks us for 'our fave way to cut' - I do a bit of fussy cutting around special images, but when making a layout, I just love the precision of using dies versus hand cutting, especially when using the 'nesting' sizes.

Linking with the following challenges:

Addicted to Stamps & More #400 - Die Cuts

As You Like It - Fave Way to Cut

Anything Goes - with Dies

NBUS - #24

Sketch Saturday #650  

(I was a bit late to link my project, but will include the link anyway :) )

It was good to be crafting again :) but now I really need to do some sorting & tidying up, as I made such a mess rumaging through my stash - most of the card was made with off-cuts from my stash.

Cheers for now!
