I blended Distress Inks in 
Tumbled Glass, Scattered Straw and Salty Ocean to create the background.

I added some Star Dust Stickles bling and a glitter card background, including a 
Marianne Designs Scales Die.

Finally, I added a die cut sentiment from 
Whimsy Stamps Magical Word Die Set

Pretty Pink Posh Droplets

Snowflakes....

 Oh I am so late today.....I had a pretty stressful week last week for reasons that I won't bore you all with but cardmaking was waaayyyy down the list.  So it was a quick aarrgghh I need a card for my post.......this took probably not even half an hour to make....great for if you need to make a card in a hurry!

I have used 2 colours of Distress Ink to make the background and then these gorgeous Marianne Design Snowflake dies...really wishing now that I had cut them from sparkly card instead of plain....next time!

and then a few sequins added from my stash to the centre!

I am thinking you could use this style for loads of different dies....flowers, stars, numbers....I could go on but I think you get the idea!

I hope you like!

Elsie with Roses

Good Morning Everyone

I hope you are all well and having a good weekend.

I have had fun making an easel card to feature a totally adorable Wild Rose Studio stamp, this is Elsie with Flowers. The gorgeous papers are from Bo Bunny, I love the colours of these. The sentiment is from Die-Namics Polka Dot Greeting, this fabulous set comes with a choice of greetings and backgrounds and is so useful. The pretty peach scalloped layer had been cut with a Tonic Studio Nesting Die

I have used a Marianne Design Die for the rolled roses and a La-La Land Die for the stitched border.

To show the sentiment

Items Used:

Stamp - Wild Rose Studio Elsie with Roses coloured with Promarkers

Sentiment - Die-Namics Polka Dot Greetings

Papers - Bo Bunny Pin Cushion

Bazzill Cardstock Peach Puff

Dies - Tonic Studio Scalloped Square Nesting Die

La-La Land Stitched Scalloped Border

Die-Namics Pierced Oval Stax

bye for now

Prima Marketing meets Marianne Designs...

Well, finally I am back crafting. Have been in a crafty funk for a few weeks...but this week I am back determined to get back in the flow...

To ease myself gently back into crafting I decided to stay away from my Copics and use some papers and dies instead...

I have taken the Prima Marketing Welcome to Paris 6x6 pad and layered them with some Black Bazzill cardstock. I then used the new Marianne Designs Eiffel Tower die to cut some glittery cardstock and added that to the front along with some Prima Marketing Say it with Crystals - Corners 3 and finally added some black spotted ribbon and a Craftwork Cards sentiment.

Don't forget that it you want to enter August's Monthly Challenge you have until the 17th to enter as a new challenge goes live on September 18th...

Katie

Did you know Dies to Die For now has  it’s very own monthly challenge blog, Die-ing for a Challenge?  This is the card I made for the first challenge which , is sponsored by Dies to Die For and the prize is a fab £25 voucher to spend in the store.  Can’t be bad hey?

I have used one of the gorgeous new Sarah Kay stamps on my card today.  She is called Katie, such a little doll and is in stock now at D2D4.  I have used two dies on my card – Marianne Design Creatables - Designer Doily – LR0130 and also a Memory Box Pearl Lace border die.

The stunning papers are Marianne Design Eline's Huis Paper Bloc A4 - Pale Pastels, I have resisted using these for so long, they are just stunning and it took me ages to pluck up the courage to cut in to them lol.

Katie has been coloured with Copics and Prismacolor pencils
Skin: E11, 00, 000, 0000, R30
Hair: E25, 23, 50 and dark umber pencil
Beige: E43, 42, 41, 40 and warm grey 20% pencil
Pink: R83, 81, RV000, 0000 and Tuscan red pencil
Flowers: R89, 85, G46, 43

I have used some yummy Dusty Attic chipboards (that will be in stock at Dies to Die For any day now) – the feathers I have used as leaves (after coating them with Picket Fence Distress Paint) and edging with Stickles. 

I have also used a small Dusty Attic padlock and key and given them the same treatment as before.  The gorgeous Grand Lace Trim has been cut in half (love being thrifty lol).

hugs

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.

And that’s it from me, short and sweet again.
