Oak Tree Girl - Wee stamps - Fussy and Fancy DT.

Hello again, I am back with my Fussy and Fancy head on, and using another Wee stamp. I have so many stamps and digi's that have never been used that I have set myself a challenge to use them all. So today I have used Oak Tree Girl who I think is perfect for an autumn colours. Our theme this week and hosted by Jo is 'Shades of Autumn'


She is cut using Tattered lace circles, and the leaves are from Spellbinders. I added Nuvo glitter to them, either high lighting the whole leaf or adding it to the veins. The ribbon, dazzler  and pearls are from my stash. The Sentiment is computer generated and gilded using my Minc machine.


A view of the inside. (It took me ages to work out how to add the song words in a circle)

The metal embellishments are from Wild Orchid Crafts



We are being sponsored this week by ~Wild Orchid Crafts.
They are offering the winner a £15 voucher to spend in store.





 It always amazes me that they have such a huge catalogue of stock. I started with an A4 box for the flowers and it has now grown to a 64 litre really useful one, but isn't it always the case that you never have the colour you need.

The other ladies on the Fussy and Fancy team have made totally fabulous cards for your inspiration this week and you can find them here

Candle Light - Wee Stamps - Winter Wonderland DT


Good morning. I have finally recovered from my holiday, at least I hope so. After thinking I had managed to avoid the D&V bug, it decided to hit me when I got home.  I never even looked at the pc for the first couple of days, and can't visit my friend, who is still in hospital, incase I pass something on to her.

So today I have a card for this fortnights challenge at Winter Wonderland, where Mary has set the theme of 'Let's get crafty/plaid it again sam.
I have used one of the latest images from Sylvia Zet. 'Candle light', and what a real cutie he is.


I haven't made a 'Kraft' for ages, and I must admit I cheated with this one.I stamped the kraft card and then added a white layer with the main image fussy cut. I added layers with black and rainbow mirror board. and the holly leaf paper and circular sentiment are from LOTV.
The Let it snow is computer generated and passed through a foiler using holographic film. I used copious amounts of Glamour dust and green glitter.
The ribbon and cardcandi are from my stash.


A close up of the image where I hope the glitter is showing a little better.

A view of the inside..

We have 2 fabulous and generous sponsors this week

 The DT have worked their magic again, and i hope you will check out their inspirational  here. and of course leave them a comment.

New Baby - Concertina Card - Winter Wonderland DT, Crafters Companion, Sugar Nellie, Wee Stamps, Mo's Digital Perncil



Good morning and welcome. I'm here today with a new card for the Winter Wonderland challenge, with the theme chosen by Lena, of 'Pastel Colours.
A friend asked me to make a card for a baby who has finally been discharged from the premature baby ward.  So this is what I created.


This card features the gorgeous Bambino stamp from Sugar Nellie.  I made a concertina card with the dies from Crafter's Companion. I really love this image.  The fancy scroll work around the edges are an extra to compliment the main die. The dangly bits are from my stash and are a dummy, angel, teddy bear and a pram.


As you can see he is called Joey, and the letters I added are from TLace stepper card dies.
The centre features images from Mo's Digital Pencil, Wee stamps and Lily of the Valley toppers.


It has 6 pages and as I didn't have thick enough card I ended up cutting 12 and gluing them together.
I coloured the images with Triamarkers, Flexmarkers and Promarkers.

We are being sponsored this week by Di's Digital Stamps and they are giving the winner a $12 gift voucher to spend in store.


The other Snowflakes ladies have created some amazing cards for your inspiration this week and I hope you will check them out here.

Thanks for taking the time to look , don't forget to check back on Monday for the winners of the last challenge

Concertina Christmas Card Crafters Companion - LOTV - Wee Stamps - Bild Malarna - Fussy and Fancy DT.

Today I am here with a card which should have been posted last Friday for the Fussy and Fancy Mega Christmas post.  Unfortunately life got in the way and I didn't finish it until today. Huge apologies to all the ladies on the DT especially to Cheryl.
I decided to go completely over the top as it is a Mega Challenge and made a concertina card.  I bought the dies a few weeks ago from Crafters Companion.


This shows the whole card.  On the front is a Crafts Too die and flowers from WOC.  The second and fourth pages feature 2 of the Santa's helpers trio from LOTV. The third page is Mimosa-Christmas Flower from Bild Malarna. The final page features Heidi from Wee Stamps.  


The snowflakes are Cheery Lynn, leaves my favourite MS punch. Gems and bell from my stash.


A close up of the second and 3rd pages.


Heidi has a lot to answer for. When I first started card making I found her on Bev Rochester's blog and fell in love with her. Many thousands of pounds later she is still one my fav images, and I still blame Bev for being too inspiring :)

We are being sponsored by Sherri Baldy who is giving 3 images from her store

And Sweet Lilac Flowers who have a very special prize for the winner

Hazel - Sylvia Zet - Wee Stamps - Passion for Promarkers DT


Good morning and welcome to my blog.  Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers where I am the host this week.  Not everyone makes Halloween cards so I chose 'Spooky Birthday' as the theme for this challenge, and the cards can be used for anyone's birthday at this time of year.
I have used and image from Sylvia Zet, 'Hazel'. Would you believe I have had it for a couple of years and this the first time I have used her.



Normally when I fussy cut I go right up to the edge of the image, but this time I left a white border to make her really stand out. She is added to the backing paper I designed using Craft Artist. It's on a purple card and I added a rainbow mirror board to give a little shimmer.


She is coloured using Flexmarkers, Triamarkers and Promarkers and I did add a little Prisma pencil for more depth of colour.


The only other additions are some charms from my stash, and some nuvo  glitter around the moon and the ghost.


This shows the middle.

We are very honoured to have Bugaboo Stamps as our sponsor this week, and they are offering one lucky winner a $21 voucher to spend in store.

Afternoon Stroll - LOTV - Passion for Promarkers DT

Good morning and welcome.  Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers where Anna has chosen the theme this week of 'Doodle'. I have to admit it's not something I usually do on cards so mine does look like doodles (I have seen cards with fake stitching where I couldn't tell if it was hand drawn or a stamp :))
I have used a LOTV stamp 'Afternoon Stroll' which I coloured up a while ago, and think is really 'cute', and I couldn't resist adding the sentiment .


Everything is jut straight cut and the papers are from Nitwits, all mounted on coordination's card.  The pearls and ribbon are from my stash.


It doesnt show very well in the photograph but the balloon is covered with glossy accents, and I added a little to the pram.


I coloured her with Flexmarkers, Triamarkers and Promarkers.


The inside does match the front of the card

We are being sponsored this week by Polkadoodles who are offering two digi stamps to the lucky winner, Fairy Kisses and Stardust.

Lily - Wee Stamps - Passion for Promarkers DT.

Good morning everyone. Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers where Lou has chosen the theme of 'Blues and Purples', have to admit it is a colour combo that I really like.  I have used 'Iris' from the ever so talented Sylvia Zet at Wee Stamps.


She is cut using a T.lace die and then all of the other mounts are straight cut.  The flowers are all from WOC and I added some Cheery Lynn and Crealies leaves. The ribbon, dazzler and Jewel stems are from my stash.  The background is embossed using an Embossalicious folder.


She is of course coloured with Triamarkers, Flexmarkers and Promarkers. The background is distress ink. I added Nuvo glitter to the centres of the flowers and to the spots on her wings, but of course it doesn't show.


The inside does reflect the front.

Lullaby - Sylvia Zet - Wee Stamps - Winter Wonderland DT


Good morning everyone and welcome to a new challenge at Winter Wonderland.  Today our challenge 'Embossing Wet or Dry' has been chosen by the lovely Lorraine. I have used a beautiful image by Sylvia Zet ' Lullaby'. 


She is straight cut and I used a Darice embossing folder for the background. The flowers are from WOC and the holly sprays are a Sue Wilson die. The ribbon and matt silver mirror board are from my stash.


She is coloured with Promarkers,  and I added  glamour dust to her wings, flowersoft and glistening ice writer to the branch.  The background was filled using an EBrush.


This one shows the embossing a little better
