Merry & Bright floral Christmas

        

Hello.

The new release from Winnie and Walter is here and available to buy.

It has really beautiful stamp sets for Christmas and i wanted to show off the fabulous In bloom;Elsas florals stamp set.

This card is coloured mostly with copics.

I don't class my self as good at colouring but i am so pleased with how this turned out.

I started off stamping one flower and coloured it and then it progressed with lots more masking and stamping and colouring.

When i was happy i had enough elements i added all the masks back on and stamped the leaves all around the edges and blended some tumbled glass distress ink all over

I then die cut the coloured panel with the largest Lawn fawn scalloped rectangles.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from Merry and bright in gold.

To add some extra detail and tie in with the gold sentiment i added a a gold die cut stitched rectangle frame.

Finally i lightly sprayed some glimmer mist and added some clear sequins and some dots of stickles.

The card is full of sparkle.

Newtons Christmas cuddles.

Hello.

I am getting stuck into my Christmas cards at last. 

Its just felt way to early but i know if i don't start now i wont have time to post them.

I couldn't resist buying some of the new Newtons nook stamps.

I have used Newtons Christmas cuddles.

I stamped the images onto white card and coloured with copics.

They were stamped with antique line distress ink before colouring.

I then stamped the small snowflake a couple of times and the sentiment and kept it very simple.

It was die cut with a stitched rectangle from Lawn fawn and backed with some bokeh paper also from lawn fawn.

The final finishing touch was some diamond stickles and clear sequins.

  

Thanks for looking.

Thanks a melon Tara

Hello. 

Today we have something a little different for you. 

The design team have all got together to organise a surprise blog hop for Tara and Rick.

We all wanted to say "Ta Tara" for all the work you do  and for the fantastic service you provide.

And to Rick for supporting Tara and the shop.

As I'm a bit useless at all of this i will let the rest of the team and their wonderful cards do the talking.

You will find the full hop list below and we hope you will join us In saying Thankyou.

I started by die cutting my two panels.

The scalloped one i coloured using distress inks to match the colours of the melons and then heat embossed in white the pattern from Sharp backdrops stamp set.

The stitched rectangle panel was cut from water colour card and the melons randomly stamped and heat embossed in white before colouring with water colour pens.

The full hop list in order is .....

Many thanks

 Hello.

Well according to the met office the 1st of September is the start of autumn so that means i can start using The lawn fawn stitched leaves dies.

I have mixed up the old set and the new smaller version.

I coloured some white card with distress inks first then die cut the leaves. 

The largest one is from the original leaves dies.

Once they were die cut i added some more ink to the bottom parts of the leaves and dusted some perfect pearls in gold on them, it gives an amazing shimmer.

I also added some of the perfect pearls to water and splashed onto my panel and dried with a heat tool.

I wanted to add a matt using the new scalloped stackables from Lawn fawn and used some of the  card with colour on it. 

It is a bit random but i like the little extra pop of colour and no card was wasted in the making ;)

To finish i stamped the sentiment from Many thanks and added some dots of gold liquid pearls.

Just so that you can compare the size difference the left is the original set and right the new smaller one.

Everything used is linked up below just click the images.

Baked with love

Hello. 

Today I am revisiting the baked with love set from lawn fawn but not for a birthday card but something a little different.  

A recipe card!

Its all very simple and had I thought it out more there is so much more I could have done with it.

I have simply stamped and copic coloured some of the images and added some basic instructions for my most used cake recipe. 

You could easily make it  two sided or even two pages and turn it into laminated recipe cards or a mini book or even line the inside of a birthday card.

You could also use lots of other Lawn Fawn sets and i will link some up that would work well with the baked with love.

 

Alternative sets you could use ...

Sweet birthday

Hello.

We had lots of Lawn fawn back in stock recently and I managed to get one of the awesome baked with love sets. 

I just love the mixer and I love baking...although I don't have a  snazzy mixer like the stamp image.

I have a tonne of ideas for this set but for this week thought I would share this fun shaker card.

Firstly I stamped and die cut lots of the images.
They are all coloured with copics.
As the dies are just the outline its super easy to line up the stamps and the die cuts so you could do it either way.
I then die cut two stitched rectangles one from lawn fawn patterned paper and the other just my normal white card.
The patterned piece was adhered to my card base and i place all the images and some clear sequins onto it.
Using the white piece I then cut out another rectangle and stamped in bright yellow with the gingham backdrops stamp set.
I placed foam tape on the back and placed over the patterned piece and the shapes.
Finally I added the die cut banner with the sentiment and some little hearts that were finished with glossy accents.

Thanks for looking.
