Scrappers Delights Pixie Lexi

Not only am I super excited about this lovely Image ,but it was such a beautiful project to make too.I coloured the beautiful image in Pencils on Crafters Companions Neenah Solar White card. Because it was late at night or early morning I was going to use a die,because of the noise of the machine ,I am in a flat lol ,so instead I drew around it on the inside and cut around it in a wavy edge by hand..I then did the same on Craft card,but used the outer edge of the die so I would have a border.Then I mounted the topper onto the craft card with Collall 3dGlue .Then I did the same for the base card and the decorative paper,which was an off cut.. this is a great way to use up the bits that you would normally throw away..I folded the card slightly different but you will see in the card,I prefer to fold the top half back on itself as I think that it seems to sit a little better that way,but it is my personal choice ,you can do it your way..I then glued the paper onto the base of the card with Collall all purpose glue ,added a small stopper in the constructed with one of the smaller dies and the paper to match rhe caed..The flowers for decoration are the new Crafters Companion Sheena's Dies ,they have matching stamps but in this case I did not want to use those as it is a fantasy card and I wished to do them in red to pull the colour of the toadstools down onto the bottom of the card...Giving a very pretty feeling fairy card..Thank you for looking :)x

All Dressed Up My Best Friend

Sometimes you see a stamp and it just speaks loads this is it ..I saw this and fell in love ..Me and my little Yorkie..However I am cuddly not slim like this young lady..These stamps are fresh,simple but so much fun to to and every month I really look forward to the next one .. This has been colours on Neenah card  using  Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils. This was then mounted onto craft card ..I added faux stitching then went around with a co-ordinating pencil to finish the topper.I mounted the backing paper from my DCWV Fresh Floral stack pad onto Craft card and added it onto the 8x8 card base.I used my Cameo to cut out the lovely doiley and the circle paw prints and backed them with Green card.. This was from my box of scraps and its a great way to use things from your stas that are just sitting around and also gives the card a big pop of colour too .The topper I added flat then I used 3D glue to pop on the topper and the other circle paw prints..I then finished by decorating with flowers and gems Thanks for looking

you can get this lovely image from the Etsy shop from here.

My Besties Bling Challenge

Hiya this card I have uses a Steam punk style girl Bestie..I thought she would suit the bling card beautifully..She is coloured using Faber Castelle Polychromos  pencils on Neenah card..and highlighted with the incredible metallic pencils that were also included in my set ..She is a labour of love as she has had about eight hrs spent on her .The background paper is matted onto black cardstock and comes from the DCWV Fresh Floral Stack I am loving this pad ,covers so many occasions too.I cut out some Celtic hearts and some cogs and wheels  and a stunning Purple flower on my cameo  for decoration..The hearts and cogs were sprayed with Crafters Companion Spray and Sparkle gold to add that sparkling bling feel.I mounted the background paper onto black card and added to the card base which is 8x8 using Collall All purpose Glue ..I added the hearts flat to the background in position using tacky glue and then after mounting the topper onto black cars I added it to the Card Using 3D glue gel by Collal.... I then continued to add the other embellishments until I was pleased with it with the 3D glue ,then added the large Purple flower and leaves to finish.. Thanks for looking :)x

Scrappers Delights .. Grahams Birthday

Well Its my Grandsons birthday in a few days and I could not have found a better image for a four year old who is just as cute as the little lad in the image lol ..I have coloured him in with Polychromos pencils on Neenah card  ,then I have fussy cut him out as I wanted him to stand proud from the background.The card I created on my Cameo ond dod the layers so I cannot really take credit for that as the machine did the cutting... Oh ok I did tweaking in the design studio and added this and that and was tickled pink when it worked lol.. Only first play since Christmas as I have been so busy with DT work .. Obviously stuck everything together ,did some faux stitching around the layers to make them pop and added the image with 3d glue gell.. I think this is a lovely fun image and makes a beautiful card for kids there is also a girl in the shop ,but she just has on a all-in -one .. Thanks for Visiting :)x

Papernest Dolls Valentine

I have used one of Christine' lovely Papernest dolls for my Davey's Valentine's card this year I have matted and layered the background onto black card and the black and white card both from a DCWV paper pad ,and then layered a strip to go across the middle ..I think the two bold patterns work brilliant together.The image was coloured on Neenah card using coloured Pencils and I added some gems to the string of hearts,scattered a few more around the card . And added some felt roses I got at Christmas from Hobbycraft and popped a tag on..Thank You for visiting :)X

My Besties I Love You ..Same But Different

So feeling a bit romantic with this one here i have done it in fun colours but made it rich with a nice Lacey look..I have used First Edition Paper from the Love Letter Pad,The one I have used a paper which has tiny encapsulated hearts in glitter all over it...I then used an aging tool to roughen up the edges to give it a more vintage feel too before gluing it onto some craft card ,then onto an 8x8 card blank..The image has been coloured on Neenah card with coloured Pencils .I wanted to add more colour than just using pink and white or red and white to I did my version and kind of like it more as it really looks great in real..It is such a shame that these lights although better light than the yellow,they do still take some of the colour out of your finished work..I mounted this onto craft card and drew rough lines to make an edge around the image.. I cut six small hearts from TONIC verso range I think they are there is a parasol ,bow heart and a cameo in the set..Sorry I do tend to throw packaging away but its bulky and I am struggling for space..These I laid around the edge of the topper and when I was happy with them I glued them down and then added the topper with 3D glue gel..The final finishing leaves and flowers are from Crafter's Companion, They are the new ones from Sheena's range..I just had to get these they are just simply gorgeous and can be used for so many cards too .. These were moulded and shaped and glued with 3D glue also ..Thanks for visiting :)x

Clip! Clop! Thelwell Has arrived at Crafter's Companion

There has been a lot of excitememt this week at the launch of the Thelwell for Us girls on the Design Team .. Many of you will remember these from quite a few years ago.No I am not giving my age away lol...These are Bright ,cheerful and you can see someone you know in a lot of the sweet Characters too.. 





I used one of the lovely new Shaped topper as the focal point for this card mounted it onto cardstock with Collall all purpose glue.I then mounted all my pieces for the background onto the craft card too   and started to add to the card base which is 8x8.The striped layer before I popped it on I put a piece of brown ribbon around off center then added to the others ,then added the topper with Collall 3D glue gel to give a bit of dimention..I then cut out and mounted a sentiment popped it behind the topper on the right then placed gems in the corners ,And added an insert to finish :)x




 This card is made using a Card companion from the cd .I mounted the lovely pink background onto craft card then glued to the card with the all purpose glue..I used Craft Card a lot on these cards as I felt it really suited them. I matted all the other pieces that I had cut from the printout ,Nice and easy too ,then began layering using 3D gel glue to give plenty of depth,added a sentiment and tack and some simple white flowers and gems . To finish I added an insert inside the card  :)x



 This card is made from the lovely Topper Companions.. I mounted the backing paper onto Craft card and added it to the 8x8 card blank with all purpose glue..I then mounted the main topper and the smaller one and added to the card with 3D glue I then Made up the Bow ,a new thing on the cds now and popped in on the smaller topper so it overlapped and united the two pieces together..I then added a sentiment and gems and finally  an insert to the inside :)x
