Plentiful Petals to say Thank You

Hello Everyone.

I hope you are well and having a good weekend.

I decided to make a simple thank you card using a fabulous Die-Versions Die along the top edge of my card. I placed the die over the fold thus cutting through both layers of the card but leaving the top intact. 

The gorgeous flowers are Die-Namics Plentiful Petals which I have shaped slightly with an embossing tool.

  

      

Items Used:

Papers Bo Bunny Double Dot Blush and Tutu

Die Namics Plentiful Petals

Die-Versions Express Edges - Thank you

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop and look at my card today.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

bye for now

Breeze

Hey Lovelies. Today I wanted to share a pretty card featuring Breeze from Saturated Canary with lush Pion Papers.

She is coloured with distress ink markers. I coloured her to match up these lovely papers - for Mother collection (Blue Pansy) I just love the colours of the papers. I have added lots of girly bits you cant go wrong with lace and pearls can you :)

Have a great day all. Thanks for popping in Jen xxx

Money Pocket

Hello there, Michelle here. Today I have my last Christmas craft project to share with you. I have made a money wallet/pocket for my brother. I have taken a sheet of white cardstock and scored and folded it to make the pocket. I have then die cut the MFT Let It Snowflake Die-Namics (still loving these!) using three shades of blue Bazzill Basics cardstock - Stonewash, Typhoon and Admiral and added these to the front of the pocket using liquid glue. I have then die cut the 'Merry Christmas' using the MFT Christmas Greetings Die-Namics from white cardstock and added this to the pocket with 3D foam pads.

Thank you so much for visiting the DTDF Blog today, I hope all your Christmas preparations are going well.

Two Turtle Doves

Good afternoon everyone Ann-Marie popping in today.  Well I am still creating Christmas cards but I am on my last 'special' cards now.  I have made one of my favourite card designs too - a criss cross card, just love them. 

 

I have used these absolutely gorgeous Maja Design 'Vintage Winter' papers and oh my I did so hyperventilate cutting into these beauties.  For my image I chose 'Two Turtle Doves' from Whimsy Stamps. 

 

 

I trimmed the edges of the criss cross with some gorgeous lace with pearl centre, added some Stickles for the snow in my image and for the falling snow I used some liquid pearls.  The inside sleeve is decorated quite plainly I just added a sentiment and stamped another image in the bottom corner and also cut out a Cheery Lynn Frame cut it in half and used that for the pull out tab.

 

Items Used

 

Image:  'Two Turtle Doves' Whimsy Stamps

Sentiment:  Whimsy 'Tis the Season Notables 5'

Papers:  Maja 'Vintage Winter'

Dies:  Cheery Lynn 'Spring Oval Frame'

Memento 'Tuxedo Black' ink pad

Lace with pearl centre

'White Opal' Liquid Pearls

 

Okay that's all from me today, thank you for taking the time to pop in. 

 

Take care,

Ann-Marie

Vintage Happily Ever After

Happy Tuesday everyone, it's Linda here to share my latest make with you. I've had the dreaded bug that's been going around this weekend, so instead of doing my Christmas shopping I was stuck at home feeling very sorry for myself, but at least I got to craft when I started to feel a little better.

I'm all Christmased out at the mo when it comes to making cards, so I rummaged through my DT box and found these gorgeous Maja Vintage Autumn Basics papers which totally inspired me to make something monochrome and vintage.  I've added links to the products at the end of the post except for the papers, I discovered they weren't on the website, Tracy does have these in stock but she's been super busy so you may have to wait till after the Christmas holidays to see them appear, when they do you should be able to find them with the other Vintage Autumn Basics here.

I really like how this turned out, I thought it would be ideal as an anniversary card, but you could just as easily use it for a valentine, wedding or engagement card, or just to say 'I love you'. The little banners are just cut from the decorative border on the bottom of the paper, I just decorated with some little spots of liquid pearls and popped them up on some foam. Love that Clock die from Cherry Lyn, see it's useful for so much more than just steampunk cards!

I used one of my all time favourite Tiddly Inks stamps, Happily Ever After', love this, it's so versatile for anything coupley. The papers worked so fabulously together I thought I'd paper piece them, though I should have paid more attention and got more of the roses on her dress instead of the leaves lol.  Paper piecing is great for using up scraps and also helps if you're not too confident with your colouring skills.

Inside you can see the paper I used on her dress, with all the roses this time!

If you prefer more colour, you can always use coloured embellishments, or use the coloured papers from the range (or one of the other Maja Vintage Basics ranges that Tracy stocks, they'd work just as well.

That's it from me today, hope you like it and that Christmas doesn't have you too wiped out.  Don't forget to drop by my blog for a chance to win a £15 Dies to Die for voucher, it's open till Christmas eve :) xx

Prima Doll Christmas Tag

Hey Lovelies, its Jen here with a spot of inspiration for Friday. In my head Friday is the start to the weekend. I get all excited about about our plans together for the weekend. I have very nearly got all my Christmas preparation done. I am just finishing the wrapping. So I thought I would share a tag I made for one of the presents I wrapped this week.

I have used the fabby My Minds Eye - Vintage Christmas papers. I thought they would be great paper pieced for the dress on the full skirt of this Prima Doll stamp. I have coloured the base of the image with Copic's and then layered the papers. I used some copic's to give shades in the folds of the skirt. I also thought I would add a pompom trim, and have tried to gather it to follow the folds of the dress. I kept it pretty simple just a few bits and a cute deer charm at the top :)

Hope you have a great weekend. Thanks for popping in xxx

Snowflake Gift Card Holder

Hello there, Michelle here, today I have a quick gift card holder to share with you. I have kept it really simple as then I thought it could be suitable for a man or a woman. I have used Bo Bunny Double Dot paper in Frost for the base and then wrapped some Aqua Divine Twine twine around the front flap. I have then cut an MFT snowflake and covered it with Glossy Accents, this has been added to the front with 3D foam pads. For the inside, I again kept it really simple by stamping the sentiment from the CC Designs Fanciful Christmas & Christmas Greetings Set on to some white cardstock and cutting it out with an MFT Sentiment Strip die.

Happy Blessings

Good morning its Ann-Marie here today with my Wednesday inspiration for you, if a little later than planned but I seem to be chasing my tail today!

 

Anyway, I've had a break from Christmas as I needed to make a birthday card for my sister so decided to use 'Anya Celebrates' from The Greetings Farm and isn't she a cutie pie and you even get two useful sentiments with it.  I'm so in love with these papers, the colours are gorgeous offset against the black but its not a harsh black its quite soft if that makes sense and some pages are written on like a chalkboard.  Anyway, let me show you my card:-
 

 

 

Items Used

 

Stamp:-  The Greetings Farm 'Anya Celebrates'

Sentiment:  The Greetings Farm 'Anya Celebrates'

Papers:  Prima 'The Optimist'

Die:  Joy Crafts Butterfly Border

Lace with Pearl Centre

Memento 'Tuxedo Black' ink pad

 

Thank you for popping in today, time for me to get back to chasing my tail!

 

Take care,

Ann-Marie

Winter Birds

Morning everyone, it's Linda here with my scheduled Tuesday post.  I'm sharing another Christmas card today, and as it's the last one I'll share here this year I've had a play with lots of goodies. I've added links at the end of the post that take you directly to the item in the store.

I used more of the beautiful Pion Design papers. The birds went perfectly with the Bildmalarna stamp I used.
The shape of the card is made with a Martha Stuart Punch around the Page set.  I've used lots of stickles on the edges and the snowflakes.

Love this cutie from Bildmalarna, she's called 'Winter Birds'. 

I barely had to add anything to this paper to decorate the inside, just a sentiment from a My Favourite Things stamp set and a couple more snowflakes.  I think you could even use this for the front of a card if you prefer a more CAS style.

Well that's it from me today, I'll be back next Tuesday with something non Christmasy. 

Have a great day :) xx
