27th November 2017 Pretty Hearts with Foamiran Flowers

Hi, today I have some pretty die cut hearts to show you embellished with Foamiran flowers.

I added a little ivory dried gypsophilia  which I think gives it that extra special touch.

Very similar , but different. Again a pink Foamiran flower was used , but other embellishments. Hope you like my pretty heart card toppers, thank you for taking the trouble to take a peep, xx

17th November, 2017 For those who like Teddie Bears

Hi, Today I would like to share with you some beautiful papers from Pion Design called Theodore and Bella.  I have used them before but they went to the bottom of my stash to be discovered again. They are so useful and oh so very pretty and could be adapted to any kind of card.

The pretty lace die has been in my collection for some time, again forgotten until I saw a card with this die being used. It is from Spellbinders if I remember correctly.

                                            A closer peep at the lace die and flowers.

                                             Such a pretty picture cut from the papers.

                                        Thank you for stopping by, have a lovely weekend xx

10th November, 2017, A little bit more Christmas

Hi everyone, had a really lovely day with my youngest grandchild, she is just over  two and a half years old and as bright as a button. She was really interested in all the beautiful Christmas window displays and all the shops selling Christmas decorations.  It was so good to see her little face light up at what she was looking at.  It is to  treasure these times as you never get them back.

On the Christmas theme, I have some more of my Christmas work to show you, hope you like them.

This is from Lili of the Valley, one of their latest Christmas launch stamps, coloured with Copics

For this one , again it is Lili of the Valley, but bought last year and is one of their many images to download.  I added a bit of Glossy Accents to the little Robin and a few snowflakes to the background.  The large flower is made using the popular Foamiran with some stamens added to the centre.

                 Thank you for taking a peep, have a lovely evening, take care, xx

28th October 2017 Less is More Card.

Hi everyone, been so busy with such a lot of family and friends birthdays. So have been doing some cards on lovely silk linen cardstock ' Less is More ' style.  Had a good search in my boxes of stamps and found some totally forgotten really nice stamps.  On this card I used a Hero Arts stamp of three seperate roses.

I stamped each rose and coloured with Copics, mounted each one onto some stitched edged rectangle dies, double layered the dies, added a Happy Birthday.....done  !

I kept the inside of the card plain. 

Hope you like my card, thank you for stopping by, have a lovely weekend xx

21st October 2017 Back to A little Shabby Chic again/

Hello. I have been doing a little bit more Shabby Chic style again, just love making the flowers. Anyone that has not tried making them using Foamiran, do have a go, follow instructions on YouTube there are some great tutorials out there. Once you have tried making them, be warned you will get hooked !  The card I have to show you has three pink Foamiran flowers on it, I used a roll your roses die from Spellbinders which I have had for ever.

I used Pion design paper for the background.

A closer peep at the flowers. Crafters have different ways of colouring the Foamiran, I find the best that sits me, is white Foamiran and a water soluble crayon , pink in this case, the edges of the petals touched back and front before heating and rolling.

When making a card I always prefer to do the inside to match the front.

Hope you like my card, thank you for taking a peep, take care xx

6th October 2017

Hi everyone, Autumn is well and truly on it's way. The trees are loosing their leaves among a riot of crimson, copper moss greens and golds, absolutely beautiful. It is one of my favourite times of the year. On a plus side....you know what to wear when you go out, something a little warm and snuggly, but not too heavy, leave that for the Winter.

Today I have some more card toppers to show you, the first is from an image by Pion Design.

I made the Foamiran flowers and popped a little rose in each centre, my lovely ivory dried gypsophilia adds that Shabby chic look to it.

 Next is a LOTV topper , bridesmaids from their latest range. Coloured with Copics.

I added the pretty stamp and die cut wedding bells which are from Heartfelt Creations.

I really love those die cut frames, Pearl Pin dot by Tattered Lace and have circles, squares and rectangles, which I use such a lot.

Thank you for taking a peep at my work, always appreciated, have a lovely day xx

24th September, 2017 A Pretty Bithday Step Card.

Hi, good morning, in fact a very early good morning, as it is just gone 2 a.m. One of those night when for some silly reason you just cannot get off to sleep. I thought that I may as well do something useful with my time , so would like to show you a birthday card that I finished making yesterday.  It is using the stamp called Wonky Tonk Girls, which I have used a few times and really love it.

The daisies are made from mulberry paper that were spritzed very lightly with pink, screwed up just a little and a tiny rose popped in the middle. I stamped the image, coloured her using Copics, then re-stamped her body onto Maja Design card and layered  3D style. I put a few very tiny pink crystals on her hair.

      A closer peep at the daisies. The leaves are from Heartfelt Creations stamp and die set

Just a few more embellishments and a pretty butterfly to finish off.

Thank you for taking a peep, have a lovely day xx
