Lili Of The Valley- Oliver Film Night!

Hey! Today I'm sharing a LOTV stamp called Oliver Film Night... 

I coloured Oliver with copics and added some white gel pen highlights. I then added some matching DPs with a couple of stamped sentiments from Altenew and finished with some enamel dots. A really simple but effective teenage card!

Supplies: Stamps (LOTV, Altenew); Copics; White gel pen; Papers (Simple Stories); Enamel dots (Doodlebug); Inks (PTI)

MFT-Seaside Seagulls!

Hellooooooo!

Today I'm sharing an MFT card with you made using Seaside Seagulls...

I coloured with copics and added white gel pen highlights and fussy cut. I created a woodgrain panel using the Altenew Background stamp and some grey ink. I then cut a circle into the panel, added a strip of DP and raised the panel up on 3d foam pads. On the base of the card I adhered a blue piece of cardstock onto which I had heat embossed the Whimsical Waves  Background stamp from MFT. Then I stamped the sentiment and die cut using an MFT speech bubble die. Finally I assembled all the pieces together.

Supplies: Stamps (MFT, Altenew); Copics; White gel pen; Grey ink (PTI); Paper (Carta Bella); Cardstock (SU); Dies (Lil Inkers, MFT); White embossing powder (Wow)

Stamping Bella: Uptown Zodiac Girl Taurus!

Hey. Today I've got a Stamping Bella card to share with you featuring the very hip Uptown Zodiac Girl Taurus...

So I stamped Taurus out but masked off the horns. I thought she looked like a very cool hipster so I wanted to go for that vibe. So I drew in what was left to complete her head. I then coloured with copics. I masked off a panel and created a lava lamp effect using an MFT circle stencil and Distress Oxides. I then attached the panel to a card blank and placed some DP behind the side edges. Finally I stamped a sentiment and die-cut a larger "celebrate" sentiment using card stock and 3d foam sheet.

Your close up. I love her hipster chic!

LOTV- James Bear With A Pint

Hallooooo!

Hope you're all well. So today I have a card I made sometime last year for my hubby and forgot to post. I've been doing some scrapbooking so no new cards at the moment so I thought I'd post this. It features LOTV's James Bear With A Pint .....

I'm not actually sure if that's what it's called as I only have the digi image but it's something like that. I coloured with copics, added some simple strips of DP, stamped out the Altenew sentiment and added some epoxy stars.

Close up.

Thanks for stopping by x

Lili Of The Valley- Back To School Boy!

Hi everyone!

Today I'm sharing another non-Christmas card and it's a very special one! My amazing little boy is actually going to be 5 very soon! I can't believe it!! 

I decided to use LOTV's Back To School Boy as he's started school this year ...

I coloured the image with copics and added some white gel pen. I coloured in his school uniform colours which I think he's going to love. He's even got a book bag like that!! I then fussy cut out. I created an aperture in a panel and laid PTI gridded paper behind. I then raised up the panel and boy on 3d foam pads. I then die cut "zach" and "5th" using PTI dies and adhered them with glue. Finally I stamped the sentiment and raised up on 3d foam pads.

Here's your close up! See how I wrote Zach's name on his PE bag?!! It's the little things, peeps!!! x

W Plus 9- Friends For All Seasons Spring!

Hey my crafting peeps!

Hope you're all well. Today I have a CAS card to share with you featuring Plus 9's Friends For All Seasons Spring...

I stamped out the cute little panda holding the sign and stamped the HB2U sentiment onto the sign. I then coloured with copics. I went over the black parts of ink with copics just to make it really dark and then added white gel pen on the eyes. I created a simple background sponging some distress ink through the MFT Gridlines stencil and then overstamped some ink blots using the MFT Distressed Patterns stamp set. I raised the panda up on 3d foam pads and adhered to the card blank. Finally I stamped out a label sentiment from Altenew and adhered.

Thanks for stopping by today! x

Lili Of The Valley- Oliver Skateboarding!

Brrrrr! Well the Beast From The East well and truly gripped us here in Essex! 

In a big to take my mind off the constantly freezing weather, I've done a little crafting with LOTV's Oliver Skateboarding...

So this was a bit of a different card for me. I'm trying to experiment a bit with inks and to use stamps for backgrounds as well as using my trusty DPs. I was quite pleased with how this turned out. All the background stamps are PTI. Inks were a mixture of PTI and Distress Inks. "You Rock" is a PTI sentiment and the other label one is by Altenew.

Here's your close up. I even stamped on his skateboard!!

Purple Onion Designs- Rosie!

Hello everyone!

Hope you're all well and if you're in the UK, bracing yourself for a week of snow and freezing weather! I'm steadfastly making Spring cards in an effort to ignore the weather!!!

Here's a Purple Onion card using the amazingly cute Rosie...

I stamped Rosie and masked her out so I could stamp the Birch Tree Background behind her. I then coloured with Distress Markers. I die cut a really simple frame using some woodgrain MME paper and then added a label sentiment by Altenew.

How adorable is she????!!! Have a great day! x

WPlus9- Friend For All Seasons Spring!

Here is another of those stencilled cards I did before Christmas- this time using WPlus9's Friends For All Seasons- Spring...

There are loads of panda stamps around but for me these are the best purely because of the expression on their faces. I love em!! So I stamped the stamps and die-cut with matching dies and coloured with copics. I then used the large grid stencil by MFT and sponged Cracked Pistachio ink. Finally I stamped the Altenew sentiment and cut it out and then assembled the card (raising the balloons up on 3d foam pads). Finished with some sprinkles.

WPlus9 Friends For All Seasons- Love U!

Hi everyone!

How are you all? It's a really miserable rainy day here- perfect for crafting!

The other day I had a play with doing some backgrounds with stencils. It's not something I've done before because, as you know, I'm a designer paper girl but it's good to experiment and try different things...

The other thing I did was ink up some WPlus9 stamps I've had forever. So the background I made with the MFT Geometric Grid, sponging some distress ink. I coloured up the lil bear, flowers and duck from the set and then cut out with the matching dies. The sentiment is the fabulously useful Altenew Label Love set which I've just started using all the time. Just added a teeny heart. 

Perfect for Valentine's Day!

Thanks for stopping by today, I really appreciate it! See you later in the week! x
