Butterfly Baby

I hope everyone had a fabby Christmas! 

I love making baby cards so was delighted when I was asked to make one recently.........time to dig out one of my fave baby stamps......Butterfly Baby from Little Darlings Saturated Canary! 

[please excuse the pic...I got a lightbox from Santa and am still trying to get the hang of it]

I have hidden the detais as the card has not been given yet

Butterfly Baby Among the Stars

Hello everyone Linda here and I'm definitely having a TGIF moment, what a week it's been.

This card uses one of my favourite stamps for baby cards 'Butterfly Baby' and was made as a special order for a friend of my daughters.
As usual links are at the end of my post.

I was asked for 'neutral' colours - mint or yellow, as they don't know the sex of the baby yet. These papers are just lovely for it, and on sale too...bargain!! I coloured him/her with my distress ink markers and fussy cut them out.

A view from the side so that you can see the dimension. The moon die is from La-La Land Crafts, it was part of a club kit set, but should be released soon and I'm sure Tracy will stock it.

Amber in the Arbour

Hello everyone!
Today I'm using one of my favourite Saturated Canary Stamps from  LDRS Creative.
This beautiful girl is Amber, from the Sweet N Sassy range. Doesn't she just have the sweetest expression?

I coloured her with my distress ink markers to match these pretty Maja Design papers from the Coffee in the Arbor collection, and gave her light golden brown hair.

I fussy cut the image and added back some of the butterflies I lost with this memory box die.

and just to prove that even us DT girls aint perfect, I've just noticed that one of the large pearl embellishments I used had slipped while drying and is now wonky! Ooops. Oh well, we'll say it adds to the charm and leave it at that ;)

Yo Yo Dapper Dan...

Stamp- Dapper Dan.

Morning all!! 

The summer holidays is coming up soon ( oh boy , I am so on countdown! can't wait to get my hands on some mamma and me time with the squidger!!) and every year Scott and I get together some little bits to put in the mail for Mo for surprises! ( the postman is still kinda exciting to him and in the holidays its all mamma and daddy mail....yeah..its mostly icky bills but to him we still get mail and he doesn't!!) so this is my first Mo Mail make for this holiday!!

He absolutely loves yo yo's! we have tonnes in our house but each new one is exciting and I wanted to make him a special one as I had picked up a couple of plain wooden yo yo's on my travels to keep in reserve!!

Now..for the confession...this is actually Mo's stamp!! lol!! when he saw it he decided it looked just like him so he NEEDED it (...proud mamma moment, I have taught my prodigy well bwah ha ha ha ha!!!) I cut 2 little circles of letraset paper out and stamped just Dapper Dan's head on them. I coloured them both up the same and glued them onto the yo yo then gave it a good old spray with some spray varnish ( I wrapped the string round and covered the centre strip with masking tape before spraying away).

I can't wait to pop it in a little box and get it in the mail for him! roll on holidays!! 2 weeks to go and counting!!

Right, time for a cuppa and a good old womble in blog land!!

Huge hugs for you all Lou xx

Nevaeh & My Precious Daughter

Morning all, Linda here, yes yes, I know it's Wednesday, but I missed posting this on Friday, so I'm popping it on now.

I decided to make another easel card (I don't make this very often, but I do love them), using the gorgeous Nevaeh by Krista Smith (one of the first stamps I ever bought). She's on sale in the shop at the moment so snap up a bargain before she's out of stock!

 I paired her with these lush papers from Pion.  I wanted to showcase the wonderful contrast of the purple and pink, so I coloured her outfit to match.

This is the card shown closed.

Colours used

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Victorian Velvet

Outfit: Spun Sugar, Victorian Velvet, Seedless Preserves

This is the opened card, I kept the inside pretty simple so as not to distract from the front.

This is Cherry Blossom, isn't she pretty?

Tracy has this stamp on sale, so if you want to pick up a bargain go snap it up while she still has stock left!

I coloured her up with my Distress Ink markers (and one Spectrum Aquatint marker) to match these pretty Pion papers.

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose
Hair: Slate (SA), Black Soot
Clothing & Background: Bundled Sage, Slate (SA), Tattered Rose, Abandoned Coral, Gathered Twigs

Gothica

Happy Good Friday everyone. If it's a holiday for you I hope you get to spend a lovely day....I now have 10 days without work...woohoo! Lots of crafting to be done methinks ;) I also want a good sort out of all my crafting stuff, I think it's taking over lol!

Anyway I'm here today with a bit of inspiration for you (I hope you find it inspiring anyway).

I used Gothica on my card today and I fell in love with this stamp as soon as it was released, but this is the first chance I've had to use her.

I've coloured her with my distress inks, colours are listed on my blog and there are links at the end of my post to products used on my card.

I went for a Victorian Gothic look on the card, well with a name like Gothica I just had to didn't I?
Her dress has lashings of sparkle with some black stickles but I just couldn't get it to sparkle on camera. I added a clock behind her and a chandelier, I thought they really helped to set the scene.

The lovely edging on the card is made by using 4 strips of the border die on the fron and 3 on the inside. Use a fairly thick stiff card if you want to do this or it will collapse under the weight of your finished card.

I used the following Dies to Die for products:

Little Darlings Rubber Stamps Saturated Canary - Gothica

Bo-Bunny 6 x 6 Paper Pad - Serenity

Little Darlings Dies Dewdrop Circle Die

Little Darlings Dies Dewdrop Border Die

La-La Land Crafts Chandelier Die

Well that's all from me for today, but I'll see you here again nest week, in the meantime have a lovely Easter!

Bowie

Good afternoon. It's Linda here and late with my make for yesterday as this week was a really busy one at work, good busy, but still I'm happy it's the weekend and I can relax and craft. 

Today's card is made with the delightful Bowie by Saturated Canary from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps, of course it's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Krista Smith's gorgeous images, and I've teamed her with these oh so pretty papers from Glitz...aren't the colours just so sweet?

I've linked the products used at the end of the post for you.

I coloured Bowie with my Distress Ink markers, you can find the colours on my blog here.

I edged all the layers with Walnut Stain DI and stitched them with top stitch thread. I've popped some cheesecloth under the layers.

I cut my image out with a Stitched Circle die and slid a Lovely View die cut behind.

A little trim, some flowers and pearls and voila! I really love the way she turned out, I hope you do too.

Little Loves....

Why is it always when you are rushed for time and late that laptops decide to start playing up!! Anyway all seems to be working....if not a bit slow......so here I am with my make!

I did have a card just about finished but when my DT box arrived yesterday with my new SC stamps included I had to scrap everything and make this...

This is the gorgeous Little Loves...I love butterflies! And I just had to use the new Lawn Fawn Scripty Sayings....love them!

Have a lovely evening!

Red Riding Hood

Good evening! I'm very late with my post today as my daughter has been visiting and we've been spending mother daughter time together until she went home today (and I'm missing her already). So it was a big rush to get this ready in time. 

Luckily I already had the image coloured as I was practicing my pencil work.  I have to admit that while I'm happy with my colouring I will redo the image as the paper (which was one of several I bought to try out, ended up being far too soft for this technique and as you can see the paper started coming away and 'splitting' a little. Which doesn't look tooooo bad on the cloak as it looks a little like velvet, but I'm not happy with it so I will redo and replace the image on the card later.

I went for a slightly darker look here, some of the Brother's Grimm tales are quite gruesome, so I added in some black and the clock? well I kept remembering that old school playground game 'What's the Time Mr Wolf' lol.

I used the following products:

Red Riding Hood Stamp

Maja Design Crea Diem - It is Written Script Side

Maja Design A Gift for You - Cause you're my Angel (Gingham side)

Reverse Wonky Rectangle Nestie

Wrought Iron Fence Die

Steampunk Clock Die

Well that's it from me today, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! :) xx

Little Lady Bug...............

Morning all!

Jane here with a make to share and I have used the cuteness that is Little Lady Bug from LDRS's Saturated Canary range....ain't she a cutie!

I stamped and embossed her then used my Distress Inks to watercolour a background...the sentiment I made using Lawn Fawns Violets ABCs

Hope you  like

This is Rebecca, isn't she just dreamy?

I coloured her to match these beautiful Pion papers, these are from the My Beloved Son collection, but they look wonderful used on girly cards too! That wonderful mask die is from La-La Land Crafts, I can see myself using that a lot.

I've finished with some gorgeous embelliesgone all shabby chic here with lashings of Gesso.

The inside is simply decorated with more of those pretty papers and a blank space for a message.

thanks for looking!

Romantic Eva

Happy Friday everyone, DT Linda here and so it's nearly the weekend!  I've been super busy this week working on some secret projects that I can't tell you about just yet, but I will say it's terribly exciting!

I must admit to being just a little bit in love with today's card, the mojo was just racing along with this one, I had so much fun making it.

The beautiful girl is Eva, a Saturated Canary image from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps.

Isn't she gorgeous? 

I went for a romantic vintage feel with this and it could easily be sent as a Valentines card as for a birthday or other occasion.  For that reason I didn't add a sentiment to the card....well that and I ran out of room lol!

I coloured her with my Distress Markers, and colours can be found on my blog here. I cut her out with one of my MFT Pierced Ovals dies I added a few dots of liquid pearls around my image.

I used some lovely sale papers from Bildmalarna and layered them up, inked and hand sewed them as usual.

and decorated the inside simply to complement the front.

Yvonne.....

Good Morning!

Jane here...can't quite believe that Tuesday has come around already!

Now please be gentle with me.....I have dug out my Distress Inks and am determined to master the art of colouring with them!

This is LDRS Saturated Canaries Yvonne coloured with Distress Inks

I dream of Genie with the Lime Green Hair

Happy Friday everyone! Linda here.  It was my first week back at work today after my holidays (well I say week I was only in for 2 days lol) and I'm already missing my craft corner, it was really nice to have the time to really go all out and get creative.

I'd been itching to ink up this stamp for quite a while now and yeah I know that maybe genies are supposed to be all floaty and ethereal BUT, look at that funky hair? To me she was crying out to be totally edgy and cool.

I was originally going to colour her with my Copics, or Inktense pencils, but I got all these new colours for Christmas that I wanted to play with and it seems you can go bold and bright with Distress Ink and still keep that translucent delicate look, it shouldn't work, but it does.  I hope you like her.

I've added links to products used at the end of my post. 

If you want to know the colours used, please head over to my blog

Then I covered her trousers and top with Glamour Dust, which looks really lovely and sparkly, but I could not get the camera to pick it up hardly at all.

I edged my papers (these are old Glitz ones called Hoopla but you can get them in a sale bundle which is a really super deal) with Old Paper Distress Ink and hand stitched them all with Top Stitch thread and edged all the dies with the same ink and some splodges of Gesso.  The dies here are from Cheery Lynn and Little Darlings.

Finally I decorated the inside to complement the front and spritzed the whole up with some flowers, lace and ribbon and some little sparklies from my stash.
