Daphne

Happy Tuesday all! Linda here with my Tuesday inspiration post.  It's back to work for me today so this post is scheduled, but I only have today and tomorrow in work and then I have a few days off as I'm visiting my parents.  This does mean no more cards from me for a week and a half as I won't be crafting (though I will be colouring images while I'm away) but I'll try and get my Blog Candy sorted before I go.

Anyway on to my project for today.  It's a card using the adorable Daphne by the talented Artist Sylvia Zet, love her images. I paired her with a gorgeous papers from MME.  I've listed all the items used from the shop at the end of my post, with links to take you straight to them.

 I coloured Daphne up in Copics to match the papers, and cut an aperture in my paper with a Stax die to frame her. I inked all the edges with Walnut Stain distress ink and sewed them with top stitch thread.

 I added some glitter to her wings and doted her with some liquid pearls in white opal.

I added a lovely bow cut with a Die-namics die and used a piece of a Prima embellishment in the top corner. I added a bit more Prima bling to the bow and a couple of corners.

I used a co-ordinating sheet of paper from the same pad to decorate the inside of the card, and added some plain white card cut with one of the stax dies.

Missing You

Hello everyone, it's Ann-Marie popping in today to share some crafty inspiration with you all.  

I decided I was in the mood to colour up a real sweetie of an image and settled on CC Designs Drozy's Darlings 'Missing You' and I think she's one of my faves.  I teamed her up with Prima 'Stationer's Desk' papers and boy these are sooo gorgeous just love the rich colours in them and as normal the papers defined the colours of my image so I opted to pick out the red in them which just so happens to be my favourite colour!

I used a Cheery Lynn 'Ivy Corner Flourish' in my flowers I just snipped it into sections so I could move it about to get it in the right place and just peeking out from under the flowers to say hello is a little owl charm.  The sentiment is from the new Clearly Whimsy's 'Simple Sentiments' clear stamps and I just popped it behind a frame.  

A close up of the image isn't she so sweet.  Once I'd coloured her I then covered the moon and star in some Glamour Dust so she has just a little twinkle which I think you can just about make out in the piccie.

Lollipop Girl

Happy Tuesday! It's Linda nipping in quick with my DT inspiration, and today I'm using a fabulous fun stamp from Time for Tea, available in rubber by Whimsy Stamps. I only got this through from Tracy on Saturday and I couldn't wait to use her!

Isn't she just too cute?!  Love the way her hair mimics her lollipop, so I just had to go ahead and colour a part of it the same. I thought she looked kind of like she belonged at a fairground, so I matched her to these wonderful colourful papers from MME.  I must admit that before I started DT'ing for Tracy, I'd never used a single MME paper, but I've become a bit of an MME addict! Particularly any of the Lost and Found collections....yum!

Copic colours are listed on my blog, ....or at least they will be when I find the list under the mess on my desk!

I popped a La-La Land Crafts hot air balloon die cut behind her and decorated it with these sugary sweet Prima Sugardots and popped a couple of mini ticket sentiments on the other side.  I kept embellishments simple as I didn't want to cover too much of that lush paper.

The inside is decorated very simply with some of the DP I used on the front and a few more Sugardots.  There's lots of  space for a message too.

Well that's all from me today folks, but I'll be back here next week with more inspiration.  ~Until then, enjoy your week and have fun crafting! :) xx

Mouse on Bluebells

Good morning everyone and a happy Wednesday to you.  It's Ann-Marie popping in today to share with you a card I've made using a gorgeous stamp from Wild Rose Studio called 'Mouse on Bluebells'.  I just love bluebells and when I first set eyes on this stamp I immediately thought it would look gorgeous all decoupaged up so that's what I did.  It did take quite a while but I love the effect especially of the hanging bluebells and little mouse.  Anyway, I teamed the image up with some seriously gorgeous Prima papers called 'Princess' love the soft pretty colours in this set.  Just peeking out from under the flower arrangement is the fab 'Ivy Corner Flourish' die from Cheery Lynn love this die and its a really good size so very useful.

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!

To say 'Thank you'

Good morning everyone, its Ann-Marie here popping in today to share with you all a little crafty goodness.

Well I don't know about you but at this time of year I have a few 'Thank you' cards I need to send out following the festive season and this little cutie pie from Tiddly Inks seemed to me to be perfect for the job and she even comes with a couple of little sentiments to use too.  I didn't want to embellish too much so that they could easily fit in their envelopes so just made some tags using the Whimsy 'ticket' die and stamped the accompanying words on them, a little twine, some Stickles glitter glue and voila six little thank you notes all ready to wing their way to send some love.

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:-

Better Late Than Never!!!

I am posting this a little later than planned today as my daughter thought it would be fun to have a nasty case of projectile vomiting (think of the scene in Pitch Perfect...) last night and I have been on clean up duty...

So I decided to make another card with the Prima Mixed Media Doll...HERE

I stamped her onto Craftwork Cards Digital Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and coloured her skin and hair with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Hair - 100/C3
I then stamped her again onto My Minds Eye Union Square papers and cut out her dress and layered it over the top of the first stamped image. I layered all the papers with black Bazzill cardstock and embellished with a Bingo card, some tulle, crochet ribbon with a velvet centre and a Craftwork Cards sentiment.

I hope you like it...next week I promise to be back with my card in the morning....

Prima Mixed Media Doll Stamps...

Tracy recently took delivery of the Prima Mixed Media Doll Stamps....and I was lucky enough to find one in the my DT pack....You can find here HERE. I stamped her onto Craftwork Cards Digital Cardstock with a Tuxedo Black Memento Ink pad and coloured her skin and hair with Copics. I then stamped her again onto patterned paper from the Teresa Collins Now & Then 6x6 paper pad. I used a luggage tag from any stationery shop and added the papers from the pad, together with a doily and some gorgeous lace ribbon and seam binding and a flower. The words have been cut from one of the sheets of paper in the pad.

I have found a fab Pinterest board showing so many fab examples with this stamp...will definitely be making some more.

Goldie Locks

I have used one of the Elisabeth Bell stamps for today’s card, this is Goldie Locks – too cute!  I have also used the delish Lace Doily 1 border die again, it’s my favourite border die and cuts like a dream too.  And the darling umbrella sentiment is from the Singing in the Rain set.  The accompanying Umbrella Die is also from this release.

The paper is from the Prima Divine paper pad.

Fairytale Flowers

Hello there, here is my card I have made for latest Die-Ing With A Challenge. The base is made from Bazzill Kraft CS with the two bottom corners rounded. I have then cut three MDT Die-namics Hexagon stax dies from Echo park Sweet Day paper and added these to the base. I have taken the Memory Box Elegant Scrollwork die and cut this from another sheet from the same EP collection and added on top of the hexagons. I have then stamped the sentiment from the Whimsy Stamps Furry Freinds set on one of the hexagons. The Prima Fairytale Flowers have been added and then the card has been finsihed off by adding a little butterfly cut from the Memory Box Butterfly Border die.

SUPPLIES USED:

Thanks you so much for visiting us today, I hope you can play along in the challenge!
