Perfect Pions

This is my first post on here and I must say it is a real pleasure and a little bit daunting to be among such talented Crafters as the Dies to Die for DT members.  Today I have a card completely inspired by the stunning Pion Papers Christmas Papers “Waiting for Santa II”.

Tilda has been stamped onto Nennah Paper with Copics and Polychromos Pencils, I have used lots of Stickles Stardust on the puched Branches, handmade roses and image.  I am really loving these Pion Christmas papers, expect to see a lot more of them.

Musical Angels

I have decided to do a shaped Easel card using Cheery Lynn dies Oval Classic and Oval Scalloped, as I love the look of an Easel card and it makes your card stand out when it is given, I am using Musical Angels




I have stamped them onto smooth white card and coloured them with copics and pencils, I have added lots of glitter to make them sparkle, I have stamped a  Christmas Sentiment to go along the bottom, the papers are K&Co Glad Tidings, I have added some ribbon and some pearls and a selection of flowers  and sprayed all the card with shimmer mist.   It is really sparkly in real life…..


I am still pants at taking pictures when it is am easel card....

Gifty Gwen

Hello there, Michelle here again. Here is a card I have made using one of the fab new Some Odd Girl stamps now available at Dies to Die for. I have stamped Gifty Gwen with Memento Ink and coloured her with Copic Markers. I have cut her out and mounted with Bazzill Raven CS. The base is simply a sheet of stunning Bazzill Glazen Raven CS {this cardstock is stunning, it has a lovely glazed damask print on it}. I have stamped the greeting from the MFT A La Modes Birthday Girl set on to white and mounted again with the black. Bazzill Wild Pansy Adhesive Jewels added to finish.



STAMPS: Some Odd Girl Gifty Gwen & MFT A La Modes Birthday Girl
COLOURING MEDIUM: Copic Markers

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Sweet Blossom

I’ve come to the last of my Wee Stamps cards that I made for the Whimsy Stamps magazine.  And this little poppet Sweet Blossom has to be another of my favourite stamps.  Oh and I mustn’t forget Whimsy Stamps sentiments, they are just fab.  The set I have used on today’s card is Celebration Pennants.

The leaves are from the Marianne Design Creatables - Flower and Leaves – LR0156 die set.

Wee Suzi

This is going to be a super short and sweet post again today, I have so much to get done before I head off for the NEC on Friday.  I have another of the Wee Stamps cards that I made for Whimsy Magazine, and it’s this little cutie – Wee Suzi – that got me hooked on Wee Stamps!

Bev-Rochester-whimsy-wee-3

Wee Suzi was coloured with copics and pencils, once again I have no idea of the colours I used except I do remember using the low BV’s for the dress.

Bev-Rochester-whimsy-wee-3a

The paper is K & Co Watercolour Designer Paper Pad.  The sentiment is from the Birthday Postage Stamp Sentiments set.   The leaves are punched with a Martha Stewart Frond Branch punch.

Rocking Horse

I have another of those vintagey looking Christmas cards that I did as part of a commission for Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine a few months back using that delish First Edition Christmas Joy paper pad again.  And I have also used another of Tina Wenke’s Christmas stamps, isn’t this Rocking Horse just gorgeous?  The sentiment is from the Happy Holidays sentiments.

Once again apologies for the not so good photograph, it’s another of those I took on my phone.
