Twinkle Toes for a Special Someone

Happy Friday! DT Linda here. This is my first post for Dies to Die for in my new Friday spot, I've moved from Tuesday since Friday became vacant as it works out a little easier for me with other postings and my family and social stuff.  Talking of family, the card I'm sharing today was made for my beautiful daughter's birthday which was on Monday.  She's 25, blimey that really makes you feel old when your 'baby' turns a quarter of a century lol.

Anyway, this is what I made for her, I thought Twinkle Toes form Whimy's Time for Tea collection, was quite appropriate as she did loads of dancing and dance competitions when she was younger, so she really was a Twinkle Toes hehe.

I used the My Precious Daughter collection from Pion Design (love this collection and also the new Pion Christmas collection, Days of Winter,  which Tracy now has in stock in the store here. Expect a make from me with these new papers soon, they're lush!), I thought these papers were very fitting for a card for my daughter as well as being downright gorgeous. I mostly used the 12 x 12 versions. The beautiful border at the top is cut with the MFT Crown Border

I coloured her with distress inks, full colours used plus more photos and details can be found on my blog.

She's mounted on some pierced ovals cut with the Pierced Ovals Stax from MFT. I dotted her around with some Liquid Pearls.

I inked all the edges of my papers with Distress Ink in Walnut Stain, before distressing them and hand stitching them with top stitch thread. The little banners on the top left were cut with the Jumbo Fishtail Banner Stax from MFT. Flowers are a mix of Prima and Wild Orchid Crafts.

I cut a little butterfly and a pair of tickets from the element sheet and added them to my card. 

Finally I decorated the inside with a piece from one of the 6 x 6 sheets to match the front and stamped a Happy Birthday to You sentiment from the Impression Obsession  Life Stuff Sentiments set.

Well that's all from me today but I'll be back next Friday with something new for you.

Have fun! : )  x x

Butterfly Baby.....

 Happy Sunday! DT Jane here today with a baby card to share using the cuteness that is Butterfly Baby from Little Darling Stamps Saturated Canary range...this is my go to stamp when I have a baby card to  make!

I have used my warm grey copics to give it a sepia feel and inked all my edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink  the papers are from Maja Design which I have distressed and inked...the beautiful die is from Cheery Lynn called Butterfly Out...... the little tiny hearts are from the Clothesline set from Impression Obsessions

thanks for looking !!

The black and white one I just stamped directly onto the card and for the second one I stamped only the washing line onto the card base and then stamped and diecut the clothes and pegs and coloured with my copics in three different shades of pink.

I hope you like!

Friendship is the Greatest Gift

Morning folks, it's Linda here with a super quick one from me as I'm running late and scheduling this quick before getting to bed.

I'm not quite sure if I like this or not yet, the jury is still out on this one, I was suffering terribly with my asthma today (yesterday when this goes live) and really had no mojo at all, but I really wanted to use these lovely non traditional colours Xmas papers from Whimsy and now I've photographed them the colours of the papers are not showing well at all! What looks in the pics like a soft beige/nude is actually a lovely pink *sigh*.

Love this image by Sylvia Zet, all her stamps for Whimsy are soooooooooooo cute!  I coloured this pair in my Inktense pencils to match the colours of the paper (even if the colours of the paper aren't showing too well in the pics).

I distressed the paper edges and inked them with Walnut Stain distress ink. I used some Bazill Kraft to mount my layers and for the sentiment and snowflakes, for a little contrast to the brights. The sentiment is from an Impression Obsession set. This set is so useful, it has a sentiment for almost every occasion!

Love this parrot green ruffled ribbon (sadly I think Tracy is out of stock of this now) it matched perfectly with a length of ribbon I had left in my stash

Come rain or shine!

Hello everyone, its Wednesday so that means its me, Ann-Marie, popping in today to share some DTDF sunshine with you all.

I have gone back to my favourite style of card for my post this week - I have made another Criss Cross card.  I just love this design so simple but very pretty.  Anyway, for my image I chose to play with a fab Personal Impressions image called 'Pamela' and isn't she adorable and really quite apt for the weather we have been having of late and she comes with some lovely little sentiments too, one of which I have used on my card.  I have also used some of my favourite papers - Prima 'Delight', this collection is beautiful so vintagey and pretty.  Anyway, let me show you how it turned out.

A quick close up.  Not sure you can see it in the piccie but my raindrops and puddle are all sparkly as I couldn't make a card without adding a little Stickles somewhere on it!

Items Used

Image and Sentiment:  Impression Obsession 'Pamela'

Papers:  Prima 'Delight'

Memento 'Tuxedo Black' ink

Robins on Presents with a tag

Good Morning Everyone

'Lighting the Way'

Good morning everyone, it's Ann-Marie here and I am over the moon, excited and just a little nervous to be here with you today with my first creation as a Dies to Die for DT member.   So as it's my turn to share a little inspiration and I'm in full Christmas mode at the moment it had to be a Christmas card. 

 

I decided to use Bildmalarna 'Mimosa - Lights the Way' for my image I just think she is such a cutie and I took my colour inspiration from the gorgeous Bazzill papers 'Nordic Pines' I just love the colours in this pad lovely and bold but still with a hint of traditional.  Everything has been edged with Tim Holtz 'Walnut Stain' distress ink.
