Felt fun

Good morning folks, hope you have had a good week and are looking forward to a nice crafty weekend. I cannot believe how long ago I made this card, it's been sitting at the bottom of the draft list since last June 😲, It's only that Jude keeps moaning at me to get rid of the ones I'm not going to post that I remembered it was there lol.

I made this card for my great niece, when she turned 1. It was totally over the top, using lots of felt, but she loved it, and spent ages touching all the felt pieces. lol.

The little girl image is from a magazine freebie called My Best Friend Designer Stamps. I stamped her with Tuxedo Black Memento ink, coloured her with Copic markers, and then cut her out by hand. 

I lightly inked a sky background with distress inks, and then cut a sloping hillside from plain green card.

All the little felt flowers, the dog, bee and the ladybird, came in small craft gift sets from John Lewis, which my daughter-in-law had got for me a couple of Christmas ago.

I used white card to cut a picket fence using a Diesire die from Crafters Companion, and then stacked up all the flowers and felt pieces with the coloured image on top.

I stamped the dog bowl and ball using a Lawn Fawn set called Critters at the Dog Park, then added a few stamped butterflies and a Lawn Fawn Scripty Sentiment to finish it off.

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you next week.

Beret Marci

Good morning all and happy Saturday. Well I have finally made a card. 1st one in 10 days! I know just not like me at all. But even though the will to get crafty has returned, the old Mojo hasn't, so this card has been a bit of an effort lol. 

The image is Beret Marci from La La Land Crafts. I do love these images, they are very cute. 

I have coloured her with my Spectrum's and then cut her out by hand. 

The papers are a mixture of a random piece from the stash combined with a piece of one of the Santoro 12 x 12 pieces. They really are too lovely to cut up but we are making ourselves use them more lol. Then I used a couple of different shades of teal/blue Coredinations card to sit Marci on.

I added the picket fence and lamp post, then the banner die in the corner all cut from DCWV self adhesive border strips. 

Then I finished her off with one of the sentiments that comes with the La La Land digi stamps and a little blue pearl.

Hope you like it, see you soon.

Take care.

Happy Birthday

Good morning blog friends, hope you are all well today and looking forward to a nice crafty weekend.

 

I thought I would share this card with you today as it was made for my son's girlfriend to give to her little sister who's birthday it is today. So happy birthday Kathryn, hope you have a lovely day.

 

 

The image is Crafters Companion and the papers are from the stash, all matted on to a deep red Coredinations card stock.

 

 

I cut the picket fence with a Diesire die and the butterfly is a Tonic punch.

 

 

I added a deep pink ribbon and bow and then finished the card with a simple ready made sentiment.

 

 

I think this one is really pretty, what do you think?

 

 

Hope you like it, take care friends. See you soon.

Gilded Christmas

Good morning all, Jen back again today. I'm giving Jude the day off as she's a bit under the weather - bless. So I thought I would share another Christmas card that I made this week.

 

 

I started by gilding a piece of double sided adhesive with the Pirate Treasure Gilding Flakes by Clarity Stamps, backed on to some heavy weight paper.

 

 

Then I used the Diesire Sign die to cut the Vintage Sign shape, and cut a straight piece for the base, I also used some little punches to cut the small snowflakes etc.

 

 

I then arranged these on to a piece of hammered card that I had embossed with the small Snowflake embossing folder.

 

 

I used my picket fence die for the bottom of the card and the off-cut for across the top.

 

 

I finished it off by adding a stamped Merry Christmas sentiment to the sign and some small glitter stickers to some of the snowflakes.

 

What do you think? Hope you like it.

 

 

See you soon
