Sasayaki Glitter Challenge Reminder Card

Hiya..For the challenge reminder card ,I have coloured the lovely Mia in with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card,I then cut her out leaving a small white outline around her to help her pop off the background paper..The papers I have used are from Crafter's Companion English Country Garden Paper pas ..The die cut for the Aperture and clothes are from China so name unknown ,but ideal for this card..I hand coloured all the accessories..Pens GRRRR!!! the tops show PINK and they come out orange ,my light in the front room is not that great and it was not until they were all done that I tried them under the White light by the pc that I found out..However you go in shops and their designs dont always match your clothes..In fact I think it has given a pretty pop of contrasting colour to the card..The papers were mounted onto craft card ,and the pretty flowers were punched using a punch from Hobbycraft I have had for a while ,as were the leaves..To finish I added some pretty faux multy pearls which make a nice center for the flowers ..Thank you for visiting :)xx

Sasayaki Glitter New Release

Hiya..I made this card base a few weeks ago and never used it.. Found it tonight and it just suited this cute image and what I wanted to do with it so much.. I finally got to use it ,so waste not ,hording craft stuff is very important!!! ,everything can be used lol!..
The lovely image is coloured using Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card,It was then cut out using a stitched stamp die ,then mounted onto gold card,cut straight then Centura Pearl in Pink..The flower has been cut from the Centura Pink card too using a Tonic Gerber Die..I just love these dies the whole set really makes a statement if using just one or as a group...I have on this occasion left it so there is no backing on the flower to keep it looking soft and light ,In the center I have places a vintage button to which I have placed a new sparkling blue gem ,this picks the blue out of the wings,and off the sprinkles on the cake..The backing card is from Kanban and is white with silver overprinted and picks the light up as you move past it ,but more softly than if it was all silver..To finish ,I added three pink gems to the bottom corner just to add a bit more sparkle ..I am very pleased with the colours they have worked lovely together on this card so pretty,making it look lovely and fresh ..Thanks for popping by :)xx

Morgan Fitszimmons Artworld New Release card

Hiya..For today's New release I have chosen to do this beautiful image,I have coloured her in with Polychromos Pencils onto Neenah card..This I then cut our and mounted onto some dark green mirror card..For the card base I have used Tonic Essentials Ribbon and Bows Layering dies,these I have backed each one with the dark green mirror card which just glints through the gaps in the die cut edges of the white layers..I chose to do this ,as the inspiration came from looking at some of the old bowls and plated that had the latice edges and this image when it was finished suited the style so well,I think so anyway..It looks nice on her but in real it is so stunning ,Being held by a Plastic plate holder at the moment as I still need to make the card holder for it ..The flowers ..I kept very simple ,hand coloured as well as the leaves to get the right shade I wanted ,these were both cut from dies I brought from Ebay and are from Hong Kong.. so have no makers name with them ..,so those who are thinking of buying them and are a bit worried ,don't be ,dies are expensive ,especially when you first start out and it helps to build your stash up without having to break the bank..They cut fine and have not had any problems with mine..To finish I added a few cream flat back pearls..Thank you for popping by :)xx

Late DT card for 613 Avenue..Floral Shoe



Hiya..I checked what was our project earlier and it seemed a creative piece,so I have not coloured ,but have made a floral 3D shoe for the new challenge that begins today.. For the body I cut out using a Tattered Lace 3D shoe die ..However there are a lot of shoe templates available for free on the internet ,so look around and you will find some really nice ones..I used Santorio Mirabelle paper pad with gloss roses on to construct the shoe with as it is thick and stiff and holds well in 3D work..Once I cut the shoe I folded all the little tabs down ready to stick down..I started with glue but found it not working for me in this case,but the tabs are very small on this die..So instead I used the red high tack red glue ,attached to the base of the shoe then gradually went around sticking the upper part of the shoe to the sole..Then I covered the tags with a bit of pink Centura Pearl so it looks neat underneath as well as giving it extra support..You will probably not have the same problem with the glue it was too fiddly for me to use,as my fingers are stiff and sore from arthritis and for me this is a very rare project ..but I do love creating different things as a change from cards.The flowers and leaves and roses are from some dies I have had from some time and been in my die caddy on magnetic sheets so I do not know the name of them,the smaller flowers are from punches and are just the right size to complement the roses..all these were added with 3D glue gel..Shape your flowers for things like this and for cards ,they look so much more natural looking than just cut out flowers stuck down ,it is what makes the card or project..I have to make a box for it but as I have been up all night I need sleep first ,but I will put the picture on when I have finished ..Thanks for popping by :)xx

Saturday Sketch card Little Miss Muffet

Hiya ,I am back after the Christmas extended break due to being unwell ,what a bad month I hope you have not had the bad colds that have been going around,Just got over a chest infection then caught mine lol ... I never do things by halves ..But feel much better now,and I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas..
For this pretty card I have used a Little Miss Muffet digital stamp ,the link for it is above, I have coloured her on Neenah card using Polychromos pencils,I then cut her out and mounted her onto some lilac Centura Pearl to frame her..The papers I used are from a pad from GCD Melody Ross Design Collection and this pad is the Lydia collection ..very lush, rich ,pretty papers,sadly coming to an end now. You can see by the sketch under the card I have followed the layout ..Was a bit worried about this team to begin with but i find it is quite good fun finding the matching papers to create the sketches and its a change from having to design from scratch..So please do pop over and have a go at the challenge,who knows you could have your card picked out...Thank you for popping by :)xx

Sketch Saturday Card

Hiya I have coloured this super cute little Pixie from A Day for Daisies with PolyChromos Pencils onto Neenah card..She has then been cut out using a Tattered Lace Basic ovals die set.as was the gold frame too...For this team I am on we are given a sketch to design our card with ..It is kind of cool takes all the design work out of it in some ways,but there is still the choice of papers ..I have that many pads its getting so hard to choose now ...It is like shoes ,cannot pass a paper pad hehehe!..This design should have been landscape but the image I had would not have looked nice on that,so I did mine portrait,but used the same design base for the card..I actually enjoy doing these cards ,I was worried at first but need not have been lol..The papers that I have used throughout are from First Edition Vintage Christmas ,Very luxurious and I have taken the picture to shoe the lovely foiling on the card..Its a shame that the photos do not really do justice to this card .All the papers were mounted onto gold Mirror card..Thank you for popping by :)xx

Saturday Inspiration ..Morgans Artworld

Hiya Today I have once more followed the theme of the challenge which is Tag It.. I have created a fairly large tag..This I have coloured with my new Zig Pure Color Water Color Brush pens..My first project I have done,practices had not gone well but this one has for some unknown reason lol..Love the vibrant colours they have .. We often forget the tags,humble as they may seem ,but hoe they can turn that over-sized present into much more..that is where these larger Tatered Lace Basic Tag dies come in..I have layered the image after cutting it out onto some pink simmering card from First Editions floral Pavilion then mounted onto gold Mirror card .. I added another tag this is from Docrafts one of their small dies but extremely handy little die..I backed it with white card so it did not look hollow once I popped it in place and also to help support it ..then I added a pretty red polka dot bow and ribbon to tie it to the gift too ,and to finish I cut two butterflies and shaped them and stuck down with 3D glue gel ,make unknown as I have had these on a magnetic sheet in a box for ages..Thank you for visiting :)xx

Digital Delights by Louby Lou ..New Release

Hiya this was a really fun card to make..I coloured the lovely image in with my Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card ,then fussy cut it out leavind a small white line around her..I then created the card usinga template of a mitten from Dutch Doo Ba Doo,The outer card is cut from Gold Centura card and the inner card is a paper printed from a Polkadoodles cd I went around the edge of it with a faux stitch on the inside and out of the card... To decorate the mitten I used pretty lace at the bottom and some check ribbon and once I had stuck my image on with 3D glue gel and added the sentiment I added a variety of colours and sizes of punched snowflakes to the card..It is very novel and I was a bit worried when I started as never done anything like this ,but once I got going I was fine ,in fact it was more fun than I have had in making a card for ages as it was outside the box ..Thank you for popping by :) xx

Morgans Artworld.>Saturday Inspiration

Hiya,for todays card I have for the first time coloured an image twice..I loved this one last year ,so as I am trying to get my cards done for Christmas I take every opportunity to get another done..I have coloured her using Polychromos Pencils on Neenah card..The beautiful papers are from First Editions Guilded Wishes I think its called ,I cannot find the cover at the moment.It has the most sumptuous papers in this collection ,glittered ,foiled and plains .being neutral colours they tend to work with everything...These ones have glittered Snowflakes on them .so rather than mat and layer ,covering them up I decided to design it simply as you can see.the sparkle through the die cuts on your left..I have backed the little figure dies with white card to help them pop out more then gently curled them slightly to give them more depth before adding with 3D glue gel..Thank you for popping by :)xx

Saturday Sketch New DT Card ..Happy Print Club Printables

Hiya for this new DT I have started it is a bit different for me ,First it is using a sketch for the design of the card ,I have never done that ,but it is fun and for my first card the sponsor is Happy Print Club,and they are great for lovely images like this one that I have used today and of course many more for all occasions..
I printed mine several times and decoupaged mine to make it 3D  and popped it onto a pretty lilac slightly oblong card to which I have just added a simple pen outline background to it ,this has kept it very soft and pretty without detracting from the main image.,This was then mounted onto some Purple Centura Pearl..The backing Papers for this card were from Firs Editions Mulberry kissed and these were also mounted onto the same Centura card..The whole card was made from just one sheet of white with a hint of gold Centura pearl,which I folded as you can see in the picture..I dont think the measurements would help as they would be different for every card ,but the box bit at the back I have made at about one and a half inch depth ,this helps the card to stand even with the weight of the topper on it ..But the width and where you pop it is up to you in your own design..Then I added a brace bar across the bottom ,Ideally I would use a small Magnet or even velcro ,that would allow the one end to be detatched and allow the card to fold for posting..If you popped the brace lower you could pop one of those battery lights in and it would look pretty on a Christmas card too ..Thank You for popping by :)xx
