Bunny blooms

Hello lovely people,

Today I have a card using a few pretty things from The Ribbon Girl, although surprisingly none of their lovely flowers this time.

I decided that no flowers were needed since the daffodils seemed to have that angle well and truly covered!

This is one of the latest release from LOTV and for someone who doesn't really like yellow, I am finding myself drawn to the images with daffodils in...I think it must be because they are such a classic sign of Spring!

Since I wasn't adding any flowers I added a bit of detail with some die cuts, a few hints of cheesecloth, and a layered combo of lace, ribbon and twine.

If you find yourself tempted by any of the pretty supplies I've used then you can go straight to the individual products via the thumbnails at the end of my post or just pop over to The Ribbon Girl and have a little browse around!

Happy unicorns

Hello lovely people,

Ooooops, has it been a whole week since I last posted?!  That must mean it's time for me to share another Dies to Die For DT card with you...

I use my MISTI all the time when stamping out images just because I have it and it does help to get a nice crisp image.

However, there are some things I simply would not attempt without it and this is one of those!

I really wanted to stamp the unicorns so they were sitting/standing on top of the die cut word and with my trusty MISTI it was a doddle :-)

Sparkly horns and wings were a must so I added some Crystal Glamour Dust!

I realised as I uploaded these photos that I missed a bit of colouring, but I fixed it before sending it off to a special little lady, my beautiful niece :-)

I have a day off today so am all set for a day of colouring and creating :-)

What a hoot!

Hello lovely people,

I have a Dies to Die For DT card for you today and it's another outing for these lovely MFT owl stamps.

I'm afraid I do seem to have a little bit of an addiction to polaroids, but I find them so cute to frame images.

However, I didn't have one the right size for these little owls so I made my own using a square die to cut the aperture and trimming the outer edge to the size I wanted.  I even rounded the corners just the tiniest bit using scissors so it looked like the whole thing had been die cut - lol!

I find myself a lot less worried about producing masculine cards now I have all these cute animals in my stash!  The fab MFT papers help too, and you can mix and match from different pads as I have done here.

CAS floral card for Mum

Hello lovely people,

I'm flying by with a DT card this morning...

It's time for a new challenge at In The Pink and our theme this is...

SPECIAL LADY
Don't forget we want to see more pink than any other colour!

Our fabulous sponsor this time is...

I made the MUM up from some word dies that just happened to include an M and a U...very handy!

I promise that IRL the letters are all straight (I used a ruler to line them up!), but I think they have gone wonky looking in the photo editing process.  I am extremely good at taking wonky photos so have learnt to stretch the photo corners so it's all nice and square...however, in this case I think that made the lettering go wonky - oops!

I am so much happier making CAS cards than I used to be and I think it's all about having the right stash...any excuse to buy more things, right?!

In the case of this card, I do have a few flower dies but decided you can never have too many so I got a few Sue Wilson sets.  I use one set on this card, and they are fab because there are lots of different sizes of flower, so are perfect for layering :-)

I also seem to have got the card to look a totally different pink in the 2 photos; the light was awful when I took the photos and the different angles have affected the colour loads!  I think the first photo is closest to the real pink.

If you haven't already done so then do pop over to In The Pink and check out the gorgeous creations from the rest of the Pink Ladies.

Little gardener

Hello lovely people,

I am enjoying my week off immensely even though I haven't actually done any crafting!

So, my card today is not a brand new one, but one I made a few weeks ago for a work colleague to give to her husband for a special birthday.

Fortunately the image is so large and detailed that I didn't have to worry about filling the gaps on the card other than adding the name and age, but I think the fence detail works really well.

I was making this card in a bit of a rush so I didn't write down my Copic colours but I can tell you I had a lot of fun with the colouring as it's such a sweet image.

I've used the digi image for my card but you can also find it in rubber if you prefer.

I hope you are all having a good week whatever you are doing.

Flowers for a friend

Hello lovely people,

It's a doubly exciting Friday today as I have next week off work and I am sharing a card that I am really really pleased with, using some gorgeous new stash :-)

This is my Dies to Die For DT card this week so as usual you can find all the product links at the end of my post.

These floral stamps and dies were a big hit with quite a few of the DtDF DT and I have to say I was smitten too!  I tried stamping them in different colour inks on different colours of card and colouring with different mediums, and all versions looked lovely!

I had to pick just one though for my first card and decided to go with white heat embossing on Kraft with Copic colouring.

I was delighted when I found the perfect matching papers to use with the Kraft flowers and then even more so when I realised my new word dies would look lovely on here...it's fab when a card just comes together so nicely!

As you can see I got a little dimension in here too by layering some of the flowers on different heights of foam pads and stacking up 3 of each of the letters.
