Hi everyone I'm here today using one of the new Magnolia stamps from the Sunbeam Collection along with an older Magnolia background stamp from my stash.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've used a Magnolia Tag die & added words on it from Gummiapan, Live, Laugh.......I've stamped them with Versafine black ink & stamped onto Maja Design Monochrome 'Muted Fuchsia', cut them out & then attached to the tags.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the 'Love' part of the Gummiapan text stamp I stamped it onto Maja Design Celebration 'The Table Is Set' & cut it out using Gummiapan Stitched Banners Thinner dies. I cut out the 2 lowest sizes & used the same paper just the larger one is the reverse side.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To create the scene I have used 2 Magnolia stamps, Sunbeam Tilda from the latest Sunbeam Collection & Barbed Wire from the Summer Memories collection I think. Suha has the mini version of this background stamp in her store.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used my Tim Holtz Stamping Platform which makes masking images together a breeze. I then coloured them with distress ink refills.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also added 2 chipboard wood fences either side of the image. These I painted white with some white paint from my stash. I also added a few small flowers from my stash.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The leaves were all cut with Magnolia Dies.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The main paper used on the card is Maja Design Celebration, I've used 12x12 sheets 'The Table Is Set' & 'To The Party' reverse side. I've also machine stitched all the edges as always & decorated inside to match the front.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I cut out the image using Gummiapan Stitched Rectangles Dies & then attached that to Maja Design Monochrome Muted Fuchsia cut out using Gummiapan Rectangle Postage dies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Flowers, lace & doily are from my stash.</div>

Hello there everyone I'm here today with my DT card for Swedish House Crafts & I've made an Easter card using some cute quirky chicks.....I love the funny looks of these chicks....look at their eyes lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lots of dies used for this card & links to all items used will be at the bottom of the post to take you straight to the store.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These fab chicks are a Gummiapan Stamp 'Chicken Family' & I stamped onto smooth card with cocoa Memento using my Tim Holtz Stamping platform^ then coloured them with my copics. I'm not great at colouring in yellow especially with Copics but these chicks are that easy to colour, it literally took about 3 minutes lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then used the matching Gummiapan Die to cut them out. I then decided to make a little scene with them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can use these for Easter or a Spring card, Suha even has the single chicks in her store with matching dies.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used Pion Design Easter Greetings 'Easter Morning' for the base of the card. I then added card cut out using Gummiapan Dies 'Old Paper'.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYantubm60I_jeUo9bIltFNCeuW-A2tTB3aqnN_0bgqAmZq32w-TCN5jbiq88f98NbUqkfRbEEq6Quu78xi3vycbqLA4zTPZz5NO1GwTYAzau1DOAeJD2jJLNoGVcR43zd-PXwRUzNGrxr/s1600/happy+easter++SHC+DT+++++++++closeup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYantubm60I_jeUo9bIltFNCeuW-A2tTB3aqnN_0bgqAmZq32w-TCN5jbiq88f98NbUqkfRbEEq6Quu78xi3vycbqLA4zTPZz5NO1GwTYAzau1DOAeJD2jJLNoGVcR43zd-PXwRUzNGrxr/s640/happy+easter++SHC+DT+++++++++closeup.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To create the little scene I first cut out a circle using Roxstamps Pierced Circle die & Pion Design Spring Meadow, the reverse side has pretty sky & clouds on it which was perfect for the background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the tree I used Magnolia Birch Tree die,I cut it out twice, once in white cardstock & again in kraft cardstock & gave it a lick of white paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used Magnolia Lovely Fence die for the fence....this has always been one of my favorite Magnolia dies this has...I love the little hearts on it/</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The grass is also Magnolia dies form a Magnolia Doohickey club kit, I used 2 dies & used Pion Design Easter Greetings paper. The cloud is another Magnolia die from another doohickey club kit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I glued everything to the sky background & then I added a scalloped circle using Gummiapan Inverted Scalloped Circle die. Once I glued that into place I then trimmed off any over-hang of any of the dies. I attached foam pads to the back to give it dimension off the card a little & then added my chick family once it was in place.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The 'Happy Easter' sentiment I cut from Pion Design Easter Greetings 'Borders' sheet. I also cut the butterflies from the same sheet. I added a few small flowers from WOC & the card is complete.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I enjoyed making a scene for a change, made a nice difference using all different dies & does not take the light away from my quirky chick family. This is a card for my eldest & his family as they are quirky & always make me smile.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thats it from me but why not pop along to Swedish House Crafts & look at all the wonderful dies & stamps Suha has, if you make a scene with any leave a comment as we would to see them.</div>

Hi everyone I'm here today with a wedding card using 2 Magnolia images, one is the main image & the other is hidden somewhere ;-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Quite a bit of colouring on this card but I really enjoyed making it,</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoUg-GRBrkCDMqKto5n4jFv7lwdt7T11JSzpsKzgXMop0TZq14a8mGOqIbYK905SrgkuzT_e4Jz4rq3KNZccwJ5vhmY3EiE9JyGwGfox3D7LBIM20MBAPKNaCcsTZ-gIleeGNBWRSw9EvH/s1600/Wedding+with+mini+couple++SHC++++flower.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoUg-GRBrkCDMqKto5n4jFv7lwdt7T11JSzpsKzgXMop0TZq14a8mGOqIbYK905SrgkuzT_e4Jz4rq3KNZccwJ5vhmY3EiE9JyGwGfox3D7LBIM20MBAPKNaCcsTZ-gIleeGNBWRSw9EvH/s400/Wedding+with+mini+couple++SHC++++flower.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The flower I made myself with foamiran, if you look closely behind that you can just see the Roxxtamps Heart Wreath die cut out twice, once in white cardstock & once in pink vellum.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The flower that is coming down from the foamiran flower is a die form the last Magnolia Doohickey Collection Volume 18. I cut it out in watercolour paper then painted it using distress ink refills.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I added corrugated cardboard painted with white gesso to add texture & depth to the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The bow is made with a Magnolia Doohickey die that you can pre-order from Swdish House Crafts. It was cut out in the same Maja Design paper as the card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Down the centre I added another Magnolia die called the Recipe Card & layered it up on top of the corrugated cardboard.</div>
<br />

The gorgeous Magnolia stamp is called Mr & Mrs Magnolia from the You're INvited Collection. I stamped onto watercolour paper using the fabulous Tim Holtz stamping platform & coloured them with distress ink refills.....I have a few stamping platforms & I have to say my absolute favourite is the Tim Holtz one, love the size & especially love the sturdiness & quality of it.</div>
<br />

Here is the image that was hidden. I used one of the Magnolia mini stamps to co-ordinate with the main image, stamped & coloured it with distress ink refills & then cut it out using a Magnolia Tag die. Its another fabulous way of using those mini stamps. Though this was not originally my idea, I saw it a long time ago from a very talented crafter whose colouring I absolutely adore.......I'm hoping to be like her when I grow up lol. <a href="http://cardsbysusi.blogspot.co.uk/"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Link to her blog is right here</b></span></a>.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the background colour I used a few different colours to get a sunset sort of colour. To do the backgrounds I use the Watervalve brushes as I find they are fab & quick for colouring the background. I dont fill mine with water I use my water bucket just like I do when Im using my sable brushes.</div>

Here you can where the tag goes & I added waxed cord in white & in pink & some white seam binding & a gorgeous bit of bling to the centre.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Behind her I have added a House using Magnolia House Tag dies from the same collection. You get a little house with it as well as a key, I didn't use the key but the little house I added in co-ordinating design paper to act like a door, the roof also matches. The butterflies are from the same paper collection as I have used on the card. The tiny white butterfly at the bottom of the card is a Gummiapan Stamp which I stamped onto vellum and heat embossed with white embossing powder and fussy cut out.</div>

I have added two more Magnolia DooHickey dies at the top. The first one is the Dream Tag from the Butterfly Dreams Collection, which I cut in the co-ordinating paper. The butterfly is from my stash. I've also added a key which was cut using another Magnolia die, Vintage Keys from the Sweet Rainbow collection.</div>

Hi everyone I'm here today with my DT card for Swedsih House Crafts I its a male card. It was hubby's birthday on the 2nd Febuary. Of course to make male card I always turn to the Maja Design 'Denim & Friends' paper, if you struggle like me on those dread male cards then this paper makes it sooooo easy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was actually busy decorating the week I made this & yet managed to make this in just over an hour......including machine stitching all the papers. Thats a record for me, it usually takes me hours to make a card lol.</div>
<br />

So I have finally used my Magnolia Denim Jeans Pocket die I brought when it was first released...yep they have been in there packet ever since..... I know shame on me, its not the only 1 either & there are still more unused in packets :-0</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I love this Magnolia die & to make it look like a pocket more I cut a piece of scrap paper to make it look like a hankerchief popping out the pocket. On the pocket I also added a piece of border that you get along the bottom sheets of the Maja Design 12x12 paper.......nothing needs go to waste.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have a long running joke with hubby & sometimes call him Boyfriend, so I got my Tim Holtz Wording book & used 2 words out of it to make the word I wanted.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love the Gummiapan Die 'Happy Birthday' & so I've used that for the card, I placed Happy at the top & Birthday down the bottom & cut out 'Handsome' again from one of the borders from the bottom of a 12x12 sheet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the wording I cut the wording out twice in white cardstock & then again in matching Maja Design Monochrome & glued them all together to make them stronger, its like chipboard then.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have been asked a few times what glue I use as some people find it too fussy with liquid glue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I use spray glue, I keep an old show box in my craft room & spray each piece to be glued with 3M Craft Mount in the shoe box, then using tweezers place them altogether. I find it so much quicker doing it this way & it dries quicker too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I always decorate inside to co-ordinate with the front but I dont always decorate top & bottom inside. However these sheets in the 6x6 pad were perfect for the wording I wanted to add inside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The 'happy Birthday' I stamped on another piece of white cardstock & cut it out with a Gummiapan Rectangle die leavig room for me to write my message.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
'You Are My World' is from Tim Holtz Wording pad. The 'I Love You' is from 2 different stamps, if you dont have the sentiment you really want use different stamps & then cut out the words & make the sentiment you want. I could have done it neater maybe but I was in a rush & hubby still loved his card, especially inside bless him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was really pleased my brain worked enough for me to figure this out this way of making a new sentiment lol....I was tired with decorating until midnight every night lol.</div>

From a card I made for my eldest son as his birthday is New Years Eve I had stars left over from a Gummiapan die I used, so I added those stars here..... I think stars are great as little add ons if you want to add interest or fill in blank spaces. The lovely Tamara gave me that inspiration as she uses stars often on male cards lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you struggle with male cards like I do then you need to get this Maja Design collection, I have used a mixture of the 12x12 sheets & the 6x6 pad & the monochromes.......this collection is my favourite for male cards but it can be used for soooooo many occasions even for females as the ladies on this DT will tell you.</div>

Look at that scrummy cake die mmmmm and it's pink. My granddaughter is probably gonna steal this off me.......she does with lots of my creations bless her and then sits them all in her bedroom on shelves and her window sill....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ok anyway the new die is the Gummiapan Story Cake die and it's fab and could be used for so many things....even a wedding cake. I was going to use it with a Tilda but then thought for my first time using it I would give it centre glory on its own.......yep love it that much you will be seeing it again lol. I cut the cake out twice and glued both together to make it thick and then added the white icing bits in white card stock and added stardust stickles to it.</div>

Flowers, lace and corrugated card are from my stash. The leaf is a Magnolia die-cut and the flower type die-cut is from a Magnolia Doo-Hickey Club Kit, Volume 16 I think - but my mind has gone blank lol.</div>

The banner at the bottom is another Magnolia die from a Club Kit. These really are awesome kits and the dies always come in handy, I love how you can mix and match different collections. Olga on the DT does very different things with the dies, she is utterly amazing, it goes to show that a die can be used so many different ways.</div>

Ok last photo which is a little better I think, I've struggled with my pics...insert unhappy face here....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The sentiment is a new Magnolia stamp that came with the Christmas Calender but Suha also has the collection in store. Yhe collection is called "You're Invited", you actually get two stamps with this one. I stamped it then fussy cut it and put it onto a banner cut with a Magnolia die. The circle in the centre was cut out using a Gummiapan die. I love these sets and they are some of my favourite to use.</div>

Ok so on to what I have made. Well a few years ago I saw something on Pinterest that was a mini album that folded up like a handbag and I loved it...........yes its took me this long to finally make one lol. Actually I've had the base made since last October.......I have a few half done projects in my cupboard lol. The photo above shows the front, which is very foofy compared to the one I saw on pinterest years ago but I love my foofiness lol!</div>

I have used quite a few dies on this, all the leaves were made with different Magnolia dies. Some were from the Magnolia Christmas Calendar (which I opened all at once lol) some are from older Magnolia dies, the white one is Grandpa's Flower Leaf. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have also used one of the fabulous new dies Suha has recently got in her store, Gummiapan's Feather die. I cut it out twice, once in white card stock and then again in pink vellum. I also cut them down a bit.......they look pretty don't they? I added pretty flowers from my stash and some organza ribbon tied in a bow, then heat shrunk with my heat gun to give it a shabby effect, tucking it behind the flowers.</div>

I brought these Bronze handle sets from Swedish House Crafts a long time ago and finally I have used one, they really are gorgeous. The one I have used here is the mini and with the Handle you also get 4 boxed feet which are great to use on boxes etc. I used tiny brads to attach the handle but all I had was silver and gold. So I used gold ones and painted them with black gesso. You could use a black sharpie or a copic marker.</div>

The photo above shows you as you open the top what you see. The text is a stamp from Gummiapan Love Is Patient. I thought it was suited to this project as it's going to be something from children to their mum and it's a lovely verse. I stamped it with cocoa Memento and cut it out using Roxstamps Pierced Nesting dies and then added a matting layer underneath using Roxstamps Cross Stitched round dies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have also used a new die by Roxstamps to go around the text, Heart Wreath die, I cut it out in pink card from my stash and cut it in half so I could place it around the way I wanted. Fabulous die and cuts brilliantly as all Roxstamps dies do.</div>

The papers and cardstock are all Maja Design. The papers are Sofiero and each layer I machine stitched. All the die-cuts are cut from the Maja Design coordinating pink card stock (except the heart wreath). Images are also Maja Design Sofiero. Lace, pearls and corrugated cardboard are from my stash.</div>

This mini album can hold three photos....although instead of a text you could put another frame and also on the front .... so it could then hold five photos. I was happy with three, one of each child and then a photo of them both together ;-)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The die-cuts I've used are Magnolia, I've used the feather from the Christmas Collection and the hearts are from Magnolia Doohickey Kit Volume 16 (I think). The border that says "Memories" I cut from one of the sheets of Maja Design. I love these borders from the 12x12 sheets. It's the same on both sides of the fold which is the base of the album.</div>

This is how it folds together. I added magnets to keep it closed. The small "Love" die-cut on the front is from Magnolia's Christmas Advent Calendar, but is being released very soon and you can order it now from Swedish House Crafts. I added another heart and added the letters "Mum" are Tim Holtz from my stash. The image on the front I cut out using Gummiapan stitched rectangles as I wanted the stitching to match, and one of the rectangles is the exact size for these images.........perfect!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Now I have a few favourites, although in all honesty not that many, I think I've had an off year to be honest lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However as most fo you know boys/men cards are my least favourite but this one I did very early in the year & I even used copics....for the first time in a very VERY long time. In fact I sold my original set & had to buying new ones again lol.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this image, Mo Manning does the best boy images dont you think. Ok she does a LOT of darn good images.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was actually happy with this boy card, happy with the colouring (which is rare lol) yes it wasnt perfect by a long long way but not bad, happy with colours, papers, layout..........this really is a rarity lol!!</div>

Hello everyone I'm here today with another Christmas Card but this card has a gift inside. I have not made these for a few years and thought this year I would make a few.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>There is also another gift at the bottom of this post for you.</b></div>

The dies I have used here are Roxstamps Xmas Reindeer Ornament. I used it on my last project as hanging tags. This time I have cut the ornament part away to leave just the Reindeer.......its like you get 2 looks for the price of 1........bargain!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Underneath the Reindeer is an envelope which is a Gummiapan die. This die also comes with a little card that goes inside, however, I have just used the envelope for decoration purposes. The little heart on it is a die from Magnolia Doohickey Kit Volume 17 of which Suha still has 1 or 2 left.</div>

The Poinsettias I made myself using ivory foamiran. The top layer I also added green colour to just the centre then added some berries from my stash. Underneath the flowers you can see a few die cut leaves and under that is a Magnolia Jute die which was cut out in Kraft.</div>

Here is a better view and not blurred in any way lol. The image just like the one on the front of the card is from Maja Design Joyous Winterdays Emphera sheet. I didn't want too much going on inside as I didn't want the emphasis taken form the front or the little gift lol.</div>

So on the right hand side I added little Ambi Pur Scented Tealight Candles in Christmas Season Scent. Over the top is acetate to keep them in and I lined all around the edge with pearls.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I added a pocket with a strip underneath saying "Merry Christmas" which was cut from the bottom of one of the 12 x 12 sheets of Maja Design paper. I love that nothing goes to waste on Maja Design.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Inside the pocket I added a tag to write a personal message onto.</div>

All the paper is Maja Design Joyous Winterdays 12 x 12 Collection and I machine stitched all around the edge. The birdhouse is another die from Magnolia Doohickey Kit Volume 17. I also added some organza trim along the edge and a doily cut from a die in my stash.</div>

They are like Baubles I think with stars in them, Stars Xmas Tree Ornaments they are called and I've added them as a tag kinda thing.....I love them!!</div>

I thought I would make my 2 grandchildren a little something for Christmas Eve while they are sitting with mum anddad after their tea watching Christmas movies. They love things I make, my granddaughter is always pinching the latest card I've made and she sits them all on her window sill in her bedroom with pride.........makes me sooooo happy.</div>

I had to use these Santa Heads as they are just perfect, I coloured them with Copics and added Flowersoft to his beard to make it fluffy. I coloured them both with red hats as little children say Santa only comes in red lol. I also added a spring underneath the head so it wobbles every time it's touched, the kids will love that part lol.</div>

There is also the other new Roxstamps die which is the Reindeer Xmas Tree Ornament hanging on the side. I cut out two. One in co-ordinating paper from Vintage Frost and the other in white card stock and slightly off-set them. The hearts in the centre have magnets underneath to keep the box closed. The hearts were made with a die from a DooHickey Collection. </div>

In the latest Magnolia Doohickey Collection Volume 17 (which is still available <a href="http://shop.swedishhousecrafts.co.uk/magnolia-doohickeyclub-magazine-vol-17-christmas-winter/">here</a> if you want to buy it). They are excellent value for money, not only do you get a LOT of dies that you can use in various ways, you also get a Magazine with tutorials in it and inspiration.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now if I take inspiration from someone I also say who, it's just the right thing to do. My inspiration came from the magazine, the super talented Yulis (I so want to colour like her when I grow up) I did a tutorial on how to do this scene effect like I've done on the chocolate boxes.</div>

After I made them I thought well not everyone will have the die used on these chocolate boxes. However I then remembered I had brought a die from Swedish House Crafts about a month ago and still not used it.........yes I'm bowing my head in shame! So here is another way you can achieve this effect, I made a matching Christmas card for my granddaughter.</div>

The photo above shows what you need. </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Paper for the card cut to size and in the decided layout and machine sewn (optional). Houses cut from white card stock using the House Dies</li>
<li>Tiny Tree dies or I have used three leaf dies from Volume 17</li>
<li>Two pieces of white card stock the same width as your card</li>
<li>Vellum (mine is the same width as my card and the same depth as the centre paper that will lie across the middle-ish of my card)</li>
<li>Foam Pads to add dimension under the middle layer that the scene is going on. (I use cardboard packaging as its firmer)</li>
</ul>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Using one of your pieces of white cardstock cut waves into it to act like a snow. I cut two like this, you want one thinner than the other. The deeper one goes onto your paper so must be the same width as your paper/card. Glue or tape down down the bottom edge to the paper. Leave the top wavy edge free of glue.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the houses I have used Gummiapan House dies, they are awesome, you get 5 little houses that are all individual so you can use all 5 or just use 3....depending on the scene you are creating and the size you are doing. Once you have cut your houses out arrange them as you want them, sliding the bottom of each house just under the wavy card stock you glued down first. This is why we keep the top edge free from glue, its nicer if you don't see the bottom edges of the houses.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Next take your leaves if that is what you are using and arrange them in between the houses, cut some down to make them look different heights. If you have tiny tree dies then use them but leaf dies will do the job just as well I think. Sliding the bottom of the leaf just under the top edge of the card stock. Once you are happy with the layout glue them all into position.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I then took some Enamel Accents which I've had forever and placed dots all over to act like snow is falling, this is optional. You could also use a pearl pen or even a white gel pen.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using the thinner wavy card stock glue that onto the vellum, so that the card stock is facing up. Once this has dried and your snow drops on the paper have dried attach your vellum to the scene. I have cut my vellum to the exact size of the centre panel that I have made my scene on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To glue it down I used tiny drops of glue from my glue gun, I did the top two corners first just using a tiny bit and then I did the bottom. Make sure the card stock you have glued on is on the top facing up. The bottom is easier as it has the card stock on the other side and this will hide any glue marks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To help hide glue in the top two corners I then attached pearl stars which go with the scene anyway, you could even use star die cuts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have attached a string of pearls as I did on the chocolate boxes but this is optional. I also added more white dots on top of the vellum once it was in place as it shows up more on the vellum....so the snowfall looks as though some is close and some is in the distance. </div>

Here it is all finished. If I'm being totally honest I do prefer the look from the Gummiapan House dies as they stand out more and I love how you can arrange them yourself, its not fixed. I am really happy with these and I'm usually very VERY critical of my own work (I think a lot of us are lol).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used one of the super new Tildas from the Autumn Stamp Club but these are now available in Suha's store. I used "Frozen Tilda" and stamped her with versamark watermark ink and then heat embossed with white embossing powder. I then coloured her in with Copics.....I'm still really rusty with these lol. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also used a sentiment from the same latest Magnolia collection and then cut it out using a Gummiapan banner die. The poinsettia I made myself using white foamiran and I added leaves using Magnolia dies. Lace is from my stash. The berries and pomegranate apples are from Swedish House Crafts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now if you would like to make one of these chocolate boxes then you will find a tutorial over on my <a href="https://stickywithicky.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/tutorial-tuesday-over-at-noor-design-uk.html">blog here</a> which I did earlier in the year. I usually add a pocket to the inside but I've kept the inside simple as they are for a 4 year old boy and a nearly 6 year old girl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you would like to use the same products and have a go at making one of these scenes yourself, (which are fun, I loved making these) then our lovely, generous boss Suha is giving you 5% off all the items I have used which are all linked down below so its easier for you to find. I used a LOT of items so that's quite a bundle you get a discount on ;-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The code you need to get 5% off is <u style="font-weight: bold;">O5CDMF7Y7828 </u> it is valid until the end of December.</div>

I wanted the trees as main focus for my card but wanted more of a pop, so decided to cut a Christmas Tree right in the centre of my top layer of paper & then have a bold colour paper underneath.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I cut another tree out using Kraft card & to give it some interest I added buttons & paint for a snow effect. You can get the matching stamp for this tree which is fabulous & has many possibilities.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have you also seen the little birdies up in the tree's.....you need birdies in a tree & these dies are fabulous for using up those tiny scraps of paper.</div>

To give it a wintery feel I added a Reindeer, Pine Cone, a glistening berry & a few other things to give interest & texture from my stash, including some rusty bells just hanging out under the seam binding.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Everything also got a dollop of white gesso to give a snowy wintery effect.........I love a winter scene.</div>

Papers I've used are Maja Design Joyous Winterdays & I machine stitched all around them. The top layer was lifted using foam pads........if however you have no foam pads I keep all my cardboard form any crafty parcels & cut it into strips & keep them in a plastic box on top of one of my cupboards.....you can use the card to give dimension instead of using foam pads.....recycling is good.</div>

This is the code you need to enter to get your 5% discount SA46TUP30DKW, this code is valid until the end of December. Merry Christmas from SHC.</div>

Hi everyone hope you are all having a lovely weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm here today with my DT post for LHOSM. Yes that's right its time for a new challenge over at <a href="http://lovely-haenglar-only.blogspot.co.uk/"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Lovely Hanglar or Sweet Magnolia</span></b></a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The challenge this time is.........</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Pearls, Gems or Sparkle</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mine has all 3 on if I can count the centre of my bow a gem....I suppose its both gem & pearl. Now I have to confess that the basis of this card was made about 9 months ago & all it needed was foofy bits adding. I had started a different project for this challenge, however my uncle phoned Friday tea time to say my Auntie had passed away & afterwards I no longer felt like crafting. Thankfully I scoured through my half done box & found one with a Tilda on it & 10 minutes later it was finished.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh-cv0WZnS-RrUT8VPhGoHOjpnloAggF1NVQBqDcrDN6WbZ9eB3oR331CUXzosw5D6akDI0SNL09ItR7HSaVRaKuNd6Usjywm0-FFoZC_weKD27e7hk-qWTPO_talJtBawBxL5wEud05qR/s1600/To+You+From+Me++LHOSM+++++++++++++front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1522" data-original-width="1600" height="608" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh-cv0WZnS-RrUT8VPhGoHOjpnloAggF1NVQBqDcrDN6WbZ9eB3oR331CUXzosw5D6akDI0SNL09ItR7HSaVRaKuNd6Usjywm0-FFoZC_weKD27e7hk-qWTPO_talJtBawBxL5wEud05qR/s640/To+You+From+Me++LHOSM+++++++++++++front.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only thing that was added Friday night to this was the string of pearls, the bows, the swirl die, the tag, flowers & pearl dots & glitter to the flowers. Although at the time of taking this 1st photo the glitter was still wet oops.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Tilda is 'Tilda With Summer Pants' which was coloured with distress inks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Paper is Craft & You I think lol. The seam binding I made myself long time ago, added some Scrapiniec, WOC flowers, Magnolia die & lace & pearl string....oh & a doily lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've only took 1 photo I'm afraid but please pop on over to the challenge blog to see my teamies creations. Remember youo can enter as many times as you want as long as its either Magnolia or Hanglar.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ok so today I'm here with my DT card for Swedish House Crafts & I have a Christmas card to show you. I absolutely love making Christmas cards, gifts etc and nothing makes it easier when you have fabulous Swedish products to make them with. Suha has in the new Maja Design "Joyous Winterdays"....so, so pretty. I ordered two lots so I didn't run out, as these are proving to be very popular......you can see why though.</div>

I have used a few Gummiapan dies on this card.....yes I really do think I have an addiction....no need for a cure though, unless it's to buy more Gummiapan products lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ok so dies used are Christmas Tree (which also has a matching stamp), Reindeer Head (love this) and the little Birds.....these are awesome for using little tiny scraps that would usually go in the bin...I mean under 1 inch lol.</div>

The sentiment is from a Pion collection and you can find many beautiful Pion Collections at Swedish House Crafts. The Cabochon I made myself by using a circle sentiment that comes with most Pion collections. I used a circle punch to cut it out and then attached it to a Epoxy Resin self adhesive cabochon which I got from Ebay a long time ago. I also sometimes put them inside bottle caps for an extra touch which also look fab, especially on male cards.</div>

The flowers I made myself using Gumiapan Flower 3 Dies, I've used all three dies. They were bent into shape slightly using Maja Paper to co-ordinate with the card. Then they were sprayed with glue and Tim Holtz glitter poured all over them, except the very bottom layer. I've also added dashings of white paint here and there. I then added a pearl to each centre. The leaves are Magnolia Sprawling Ferns die, one of my favourite leaf dies. For the leaves I also used paper from the same Maja Design Collection but from the 6x6 pad.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All papers were machine stitched as always and inside the card was also decorated to co-ordinate with the front. Behind the flowers you can just see another Gummiapan die sticking out, this is the Doodled Frame, I love these as they are perfect for adding that bit of interest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The image is of course Magnolia "Poinsettia Tilda" from the Aspen Holiday Collection. I coloured her with distress ink refills and then coated the image with Tim Holtz Distress Glaze to protect the image.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Don't forget there is still 20% discount on the store to celebrate Swedish House Crafts being 1 Year Old..........yayyyyyyy.</div>

Hello everyone & welcome to Swedish House Crafts 1st Year Anniversary & what better way to celebrate a whole year is with a blog hop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We are doing a blog hop with a difference but we guarantee there will be lots of prizes to be won along the way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So you should have arrived here from the lovely <a href="https://monchatbyscrap.blogspot.com/2017/11/celebrating-1-st-year-with-swedish.html"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Laurigami's Blog</b></span></a>, if not start at the beginning <a href="http://blogging.swedishhousecrafts.co.uk/2017/11/celebrating-year-one-blog-hop-and.html"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>here</b></span></a>.</div>

Now Swedish House Crafts is a Different Crafting Table as Suha the lovely owner calls it, so all the DT girlies are showing you bits of their craft room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now as a lot of you know I used to have a big summer house at the bottom of the garden that was turned into a craft room when I began this hobby. I like being around my family but dont want the mess of craft things in the living room etc. However we had an extension built for Natalie for a large bathroom for her, this meant we had 3 bathrooms....we did not need this many. So 1 was turned into a craft room for me......I must warn you this has not been finished yet & still all my craft stuff is not in here. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So this is my craft room & although its at least half the size I used to have I love being with the family & Natalie's bedroom is right next door to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Excuse my dog she lies in the craft room whenever I'm in there, usually in the doorway lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Its a HUGE downsize but I'm making it work.........I think lol.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is my main work area, where I plan my cards, lay out papers, plan layout that sort of thing. I also have my Sewing machine right next to me as I love to sew all papers on my card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the corner there is my Cameo with the grey cover on. The white square tub is my water/brush pot for when I'm colouring with distress inks.......just behind my cup is a pot with my most used paint brushes in. I'm always changing which brush I use lol</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just to the right of me is my colouring drawer for distress ink colouring only....copic colouring is kept seperate. I have more spare brushes in there, mini pads, distress ink refill palette & plastic bags that my images go into when I have coloured them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Underneath all that is lots of watercolour paper & pads, a few different brands.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the right side is Spectrum Aqua pens which I've still not used lol, mini ink pads & other bits.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My watermarker pens are kept in another drawer under the bench next to my re-purposed wine rack lol. The wine rack I store all my jars of buttons & sequins etc.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A lot of my dies are kept on the inside of the doors, they are in sight so I dont neglect them too much lol but also hidden so they dont look a mess. This was the best option for storing my dies as they can take up a lot of room but if I have them in a box I know a lot wont get used. This way I can see them all at sight & it makes use of wasted door space that you cannot use for anything else.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hubby make me an MDF A4 card holder to hold all my A4 cardstock, although I still dont have it all in there & in there you will also see I have packets of dies that are still yet to be opened........yeah I'm a bad woman :-/</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Underneath are inks, glitter, small die-cutting area, score board (which has my latest order form Swedish House Crafts on) & my paper cutter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I do have 2 cutting area's....1 for small dies for quickness & the other side is where my A4 die-cutter is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is my larger die-cutting area & where I keep my glue gun & heat gun. I do all my gluing on the glass work top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Down this bottom corner I have a box where I keep all my Magnolia Doohickey collections, which I will show you properly another time once its all finished lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Down-sizing was really hard, still is to be honest but I know I am extremely lucky to have a craft room as I know a lot dont. I try to use every little bit of space, on top of units & so I can reach I keep a little folding step in here.....the red thing folded up under my sewing machine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have had to be ruthless sorting my craft room out & once I am finished I will sell lots that I no longer use or need. I had the luxury of hoarding before as my old craft room was huge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To fit my craft room out we purchased a used kitchen that a lady was selling & this fitted it out nicely & gave me lots of storage to house all my stuff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also have a rack on the back of my door that I keep paints, embossing powders, sprays etc in 7 it makes use of a wasted space we have on our doors lol.</div>

Hello everyone I'm here to show you a Christmas Card using yummy papers, stamps, dies & embellishments from Swedish House Crafts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I'm losing track of days at the minute & totally forgot about my DT make......so this was a rush & altogether took me just under 2 hours to do, including colour the image.....now thats fast for me I can spend 4 hours just on a card & then at least an hour colouring the image lol.</div>

So I made a Lollipop card, I love making these & have made quite a few, they are so easy & quick to make.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For my foacl point I could not decide between an image from a Maja Design Christmas Collection or a Magnolia stamp.......so I went with both lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have used the super cute Christmas Caramel Tilda from A Lovely Christmas collection. I coloured her with distress ink refills & then cut her out using <a href="http://shop.swedishhousecrafts.co.uk/pink-edition-rounded-frames-and-tags/">Magnolia 'Rounded Frames & Tags' die</a>. These are on a fabulous offer right now so get them while you can. They cut brilliantly & I love how you get a little tag in them also.</div>

For the leaves I have used my favourite leaf die Magnolia Sprawling Ferns die & cut the leaves from Maja Design 'Grandpa's Christmas Tree' paper. I also added Glistening Pomegranates & Berries from Swedish House Crafts, these are fabulous for adding that perfect Christmassy finishing touch......or foofines as I call it lol.</div>

I cut tags from Maja Design paper & distressed them a little, added an eyelet, some string & a rusty bell & tucked them in at the top. They can be took out to write little personal messages or quotes on.</div>

Now when I first followed the tutorial for the Lollipop card I didnt like how you wrote on the back, for me personally it felt like I would be squashing the flowers & all my other foofiness on the front.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I came up with the idea of adding a pocket on the back to insert tags into, these you take out & write your messages on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've kept the back fairly simple as all the main attraction is at the front ;-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The tags were made using Magnolia Business Card Letter Tags. </div>

I added more embellishments one the other side, using Sprawling Ferns die again, some Pomegranate Apples, Mixed Berries & a Wooden Pine Cone all from Swedish House Crafts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also added a miniature glass bottle & added some german glass glitter inside........its like a bottle of Christmas Magic Dust ;-)</div>

For the circle in the centre I used Roxstamps Cross Stitched Nesting dies, I love these, the round ones & the squares ones & would use them all the time if I could lol. They cut fantastic & really are excellent value......these are my favourite nesting dies to use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The tiny little postcard is also from the same sheet as the image which is Maja Design 'I Wish' Ephemera sheet. </div>

Hope you like my quick lollipop card, if you have not tried to make one of these yet, then why not try one they really are so easy & quick to make. You can even used the shape as a hanging instead of inserting a straw in it.</div>

Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
I'm here today with a very girly card that can be used for a friend, using lots of yummy products from Swedish House Crafts. I used some of my favourite papers from Maja Design, the Sofiero collection which is so unbelievably pretty. There is also something Christmassy on this card, can you see it?<br />
<br />

Yes its the leaves. I have used Magnolia 'Sprawling Ferns' and I think these can be used all year round. They are my favourite leaf die. A couple of years ago I was going to give up crafting and sold ALL of my Magnolia dies and whilst my collection is now bigger than it was before, there are a few dies I still haven't been able buy yet :-( However imagine my excitement when I saw Suha had these in stock the other week......I may have done a little dance around lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The flowers are all handmade by me from white foamiran, the larger one I used a candle and foamiran and I tried something different.....I love how it turned out. I added beautiful Glistening White Pomegranates from Suha's store, love these!!!</div>

Before I joined Swediish House Crafts DT I bought the Magnolia Doohickey Collection from Suha and if you order one from her within a certain time you get a free gift worth £20........now how fantastic is that....BARGAIN!!! Ker-Ching....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I ordered Volume 16 and chose this Magnolia Dream Tag which again I used to have but had sold it. Thank goodness for Swedish House Crafts and all the gorgeous Swedish Products we can buy, insert BIG smiley face here lol. ;-)</div>

I added a pre-printed image which I cut into portions to make this sweet little girl 3D. The base image I cut out using Gummiapan Stitched Rectangles.......I love Gummiapan stamps and dies, seriously I cannot recommend them enough. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you haven't tried them yet and its because you have been abducted by aliens and then hidden away on some space ship in a far far away Galaxy....... Well I completely understand, BUT......now you are back down on Earth safely.... well your first port of call should be Swedish House Crafts......make yourself a cuppa and browse and shop all the fabulous goodies. You MUST try Gummiapan though!!!</div>

Another view of the 3D paper piecing I did using a LOTV Simply Print. I printed them out & then used 1 of the images as my base image & then cut pieces of the other images to make her 3D.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think I used 3 images in total, I did this image a couple of months ago so I'm struggling remember lol.</div>

As always I have decorated inside to match the front. The reason I do this is because I think it's a perfect added touch It shows extra love and you don't have the solid heavy front that feels solid and well crafted and then a flimsy back. It's worth going the extra mile even though we have to cut into more of our yummy paper ;-)</div>

Hello everyone I'm running so late with this, I thought I had done &......well clearly I hadnt so I'm gonna crack on. I have a peek sneak of something sooooooo cute at the bottom of the post though, so why not hang around lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok so my lovelies we have a brand new challenge over on Lovely Hanglar & Sweet Magnolia & the challenge is.......drum roll please......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="color: #cc0000;">USE TRIM</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
......so it can be lace, ribbon, seam binding, pom pom trim, organza roses....you et the drift dont you ;-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had hoped I would have a different project ready but I didnt but thankfully had this one as back-up which I made a few weeks ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZhkjvdr92pJtik-UgvuRVZPHx-ckqQ_M5qlGFNrMkpb3UryLr5D9Zu9q3QqiYDNQCJnagFHYyfjrD3nZguvTbcYQQtyLFJ9nXfcW7jih83hVMgOIJcUAQT0iuAjAlXbU_F4sQL2DNLZ3V/s1600/Live+Love+Laugh+++LHOSM++++++++++++front.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1501" data-original-width="1600" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZhkjvdr92pJtik-UgvuRVZPHx-ckqQ_M5qlGFNrMkpb3UryLr5D9Zu9q3QqiYDNQCJnagFHYyfjrD3nZguvTbcYQQtyLFJ9nXfcW7jih83hVMgOIJcUAQT0iuAjAlXbU_F4sQL2DNLZ3V/s640/Live+Love+Laugh+++LHOSM++++++++++++front.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The image I masked & coloured a couple of months ago so it was nice to finally put it on a card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The stamps I used are <a href="http://shop.swedishhousecrafts.co.uk/country-girl-tilda-with-flower-in-her-pocket/"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Magnolia 'Tilda With Flower In Her Pocket'</span></b></a> from the Country Girl collection & I masked her with <a href="http://shop.swedishhousecrafts.co.uk/country-girl-little-westie-with-flower/"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Magnolia 'Little Westie With Flower'</span></b></a> I left the Westie off though & just used the flowers, again this stamp is from the Country Girl collection. I got these from Swedish House Crafts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were coloured with distress ink refills & then I cut the image out using <a href="http://shop.swedishhousecrafts.co.uk/gummiapan-dies-stitched-circles/"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Gummiapan Stitched Circle dies</b></span></a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a tag using the Surfboard tag....I've had this for about a year & finally used it for the first time, shocking I know....I have quite a few like this, some still in their packets...yes I'm bowing my head in shame right now :-(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The words are from a Tim Holtz pad. I made the tag so it can swivel out to write something on the plain one underneath.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think the brad is My Minds Eye........maybe...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course as always I decorated the inside. The paper is Maja Design Summer Crush & I have machine stitched all layers, added gesso here & there & added <a href="http://shop.swedishhousecrafts.co.uk/gummiapan-dies-stitched-circles/"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Gummiapan Stitched Circle dies</b></span></a> to the centre.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a paper straw saying Happy Birthday at the top using a Whimsy stamp & matching die.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also added seam binding & I coloured it myself a long long time ago. Button, doilies & lace are form my stash.</div>

This is Mummy with her 12 babies, yes 12........OMW how did she do that.....where the heck did she hide them all as she is not that big. There is not one runt & she is a fantastic mum & greeted us so so well. She came out to greet us & we stroked her, she really is beautiful.</div>

We got first pic out of all these babies & I picked this handsome fell, first one to have a collar as well. The lady who owns this gorgeous mum & litter sent me this photo to my phone yesterday, I love him already.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I picked him out just by a photo on Friday, I knew as soon as I saw him amongst all his brothers & sisters. Thankfully I did as the first lady to go on Saturday picked mine & desperately wanted him but the lovely lady said he was reserved & while she was disapointed she picked another gorgeous little fella.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do have a name ready for him but I will tell you that when he comes homes.........just incase I change my mind (doubt it though lol)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello everyone how are you all?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The plan today was get the front garden done, scarify the lawn, remove flowers & weed etc but its wet & very miserable :-( Perfect day to stay inside & get work done then ;-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I have a card today that I made quite a few weeks ago. When I showed my last LOTV card with a simply print I did say the next one would be a stamped image.......here it is, or one of them as I have a another done lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time I thought I would make a Wedding card or it could even suit as an Anniversary card maybe.</div>

The fabulous cute image is a LOTV stamp called <a href="http://www.liliofthevalley.co.uk/acatalog/Stamp_-_Wedding_Couple.html"><b><span style="color: #990000;">'Wedding Couple'</span></b></a> & I coloured it with distress ink refills.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut the image out using <a href="http://shop.swedishhousecrafts.co.uk/gummiapan-dies-stitched-circles/"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Gummiapan 'Nesting Stitched Circles'</span></b></a> & matted it onto larger sizes underneath including a circle of Maja Design.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also added a couple of pearl hearts as added love ;-)</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut 2 hearts using a Magnolia die, I cut 1 in white cardstock & 1 in co-ordinating Maja Design paper, I added Tim Holtz words to the white cardstock & added a brad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So when you swing the patterned heart out it reads 'Together Forever', kinda like a hidden message.</div>

<br />
Hello everyone, today I'm sharing with you my latest creation using yummy products from Swedish House Crafts.<br />
<br />
I've been thinking of all the Christmas creating I need to do lately and that brought me to the time after Christmas, New Year. So I thought I would make a table top calendar ready for the New Year.<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u><b>(Links to items used will be at the bottom of the post.)</b></u></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have used the gorgeous Maja Design Denim & Friends Collection, I love this collection so much, it really can be used for almost any occasion. I have machine stitched both layers.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAUrG3qA9SXZOZ51Mdn8fntYgl6z1G8_QHtzGMyYOhP-EGYI1OI6tIEhkhpyNnbrwPl069okGIBN7dlCOeIZ2TP7wg1OlS5EEduyJuks7zw1lXEo9ArUqwo4-QJMFNfd7x1oz20U1soaWx/s1600/Tilda+Daisy+Calendar++SHC+DT++++++++++calendar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1559" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAUrG3qA9SXZOZ51Mdn8fntYgl6z1G8_QHtzGMyYOhP-EGYI1OI6tIEhkhpyNnbrwPl069okGIBN7dlCOeIZ2TP7wg1OlS5EEduyJuks7zw1lXEo9ArUqwo4-QJMFNfd7x1oz20U1soaWx/s400/Tilda+Daisy+Calendar++SHC+DT++++++++++calendar.jpg" width="388" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I added layers using Gummiapan Stitched Banners dies, this was just to add a bit of interest. The leaves were made using Magnolia Grandpa's Flower Leaf. The calendars I just got from Ebay.</div>
<br />

I also decorated the back, some desks and tables can be seen from all angles so I didn't want the back to look boring. I am going to put a quote on it as well.....just depends where its going lol.<br />

I added Gummiapan Doodle Circle dies as these are fab for adding more interest to any project, I love them. For the image I wasn't originally going to use this one, I had coloured up another Tilda, however she was Christmassy and Christmassy is not an all year thing. So I went with this gorgeous Tilda With Umbrella Daisy, I coloured her dress with Weathered Wood to make it look kinda denim to go with the papers. I coloured her with distress ink refills and added Stardust Stickles to the centre of the daisy and her hair bow. Then I cut her out using Gummiapan Stitched Rectangle dies.</div>

I have made the calendar folding so it folds flat for posting. All lace and flowers are from my stash. I used the co-ordinating Maja Design card stock for layers behind the image and the calendar, also for the doodle circles and leaves.<br />

The flowers I made myself using foamiran & Whimsy Peony dies. I used white foamiran & used oil pastels to colour them. The leaves I used olive green foamiran & added colour to give them a realistic look......its rare leaves are one solid colour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I heat shrunk some organza ribbon & added some string in amongst the flowers.</div>

Hello everyone how are you all?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry I've been missing in action I've been quite ill lately & then had to have tests took. So have not had energy to even blog, let alone craft but I finally made this card.....only took me 4 days lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway I'm late with not 1 but 2 DT cards oops, so I'm combining them both...yep I'm cheating lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok so the new challenges have started over at <a href="http://allaboutmagnoliachallenge.blogspot.co.uk/"><b><span style="color: #990000;">All About Magnolia</span></b></a> & <a href="https://deepoceanchallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Deep Ocean Challenges</b></span></a> & luckily for me their themes are nearly the same.......phew!!! Lol.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've gone with Autumn colours to suit both challenges. I absolutely love Autumn, I love all the changing colours of the leaves & trees & love the rustle under my feet when the leaves have fallen on the ground. Its a beautiful time of year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I would use a Halloween kind of stamp but make her more Autumn orientated ;-)</div>

This is Witch Tilda With Small Pumpkins but I thought rather than her being a witch she could just be sitting amongst the trees enjoying Autumn.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The papers are <a href="http://shop.swedishhousecrafts.co.uk/maja-design-walking-in-the-forest-6x6-paper-block/"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>Maja Design 'Walking In The Forest' 6x6 pad</b></span></a> from Swedish Houe Crafts. I have machine stitched the both layers & the top layer I cut out using a die from Magnolia Doohickey Club Kit Volume 11........you can get these Magnolia Volumes from Swedish House Crafts at a great price & they are soooo worth the money.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also added gesso to both layers to soften them & give them a shabby chic look.....Autumn the shabby chic way lol.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also cut the shaped larger tag form the same pad & added Autumn to the top, the Autumn I cut from the front cover of Maja Design 'Vintage Autumn Basic's' 6x6 pad, I have 2 pads & 1 is nearly gone so used that cover.......recycle recycle lol ;-)</div>

The gorgeous papers are Maja Design 'I Wish' collection, which is probably my favourite collection, definitely my favourite christmas papers. I have used a Go-Kreate die to cut it out & machine stitched all around as always. I've also decorated inside to compliment the front as always.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The dies at the top coming down form the pearl trim are <a href="http://shop.swedishhousecrafts.co.uk/doohickey-dies-peaky-floral-tabs/"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Magnolia dies 'Peaky Floral Tabs'</span></b></a> which you can get from Swedish House Crafts. The christmas ornament at the bottom right is also a Magnolia die.</div>

<br />
I'm here today to share a card I made suitable for a teenager using the fabulous Maja Design Denim & Friends collection........I love love LOVE this collection, its perfect for those hard male cards & just as perfect for the females. What more could we ask for.....well the perfect dies to go with them of course are Gummiapan.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made the card base from Maja Design Shades Of Denim, Light Blue. These co-ordinated sheets are fabulous & each side is a slightly different shade, I love the quality of Maja Design.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used Maja Design Denim & Friends 6x6 pad for the card & highlighted the graphic on the paper which says 'YOU'RE A STAR' I underlined it & added stars that were cut out from using the Integrated Stars die by Gummiapan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also added a piece of fine corrugated cardboard painted it with white gesso to give the card extra texture.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I cut the wording 'AWSOME' from the bottom of one of the 12x12 sheets & distressed it a little.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also cut out Happy Birthday using a Gummiapn text die, I cut Happy out using the Maja Design Monochrome Light Blue sheet & Birthday I cut out using the Maja Design Monochrome Aquamarine sheet....this shade matches the shoes on the image.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I cut out a few pieces with white cardstock first then glued them altogether with the coloured sheet on top.....this makes them thicker & gives an appearance of chipboard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To glue them together I use a spray adhesive, its less messy & fiddly.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The larger image of the skateboard came from the Maja Design Denim & Friends 12x12 Snapshot sheet & the smaller one came with the 6x6 pad.......I thought it would add interest there being 2 photo's the same but of different sizing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I cut the integrated stars out using white cardstock & Maja Design Monochrome Aquamarine cardstock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I kept a couple of the stars inside the cutout.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As always I decorated inside to compliment the front & each sheet was machine stitched.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The rectangle under the main image I cut with Gummiapan Rectangle die & cut it from Maja Design Monochrome Aquamarine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used some stars that were cut out from the Integrated Stars die to add here & there, I love that some of them are not perfect star shapes which adds more interest & uniqueness........uniqueness is definitely good for a teenager.</div>

......oh so so easy, its a rarity I dont put lace on my creations lol.<br />
<br />

So the paper I've used for is Maja Design 'Enjoying Outdoors' 6x6 pad........the colours in this pad go perfectly with the image. I wanted browns to go with the forest the little girl is in but I also wanted to bring the gorgeous colour of her scarf out......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I machine stitched around the edges as always.</div>

I'm sorry about my photo's just lately I've been taking them on my phone & on the conservatory window sill so they are not great.........time has been escaping me just lately as there is so much going on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyhoo enough boring drivvle lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The gorgeous image is one of the new releases from <a href="http://www.liliofthevalley.co.uk/acatalog/index.html"><b>LOTV</b></a>, this is a Simply Print image called <b><span style="color: #660000;">'<a href="http://www.liliofthevalley.co.uk/acatalog/Simply-Print---Singing-Robin.html">Singing Robin'</a></span></b> & they have added even more since I got this.....may have to go shopping again lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do have some LOTV stamps that I have coloured, I just need get them on cards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut it out using a postage die & then added a layer of purple underneath to give it a bit of impact on the colour........I think its worked nicely.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added Scrapiniec & WOC flowers down the bottom right corner & to the top right I aded a sentiment from an old wood block stamp & cut it out using a Magnolia die. I then added a couple of bells & some waxed cord.</div>

I've been neglecting my foamiran lately so I was trying something new......which I will show another time, & I decided to make some poinsettia flowers. I made white ones using a none poinsettia die & I made these Ivory ones using a poinsettia die..........I have a few of these dies so its good to experiment to get the right shape & size you want.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also made the smaller flowers in a purple foamiran using a Rosy Owl die, the leaves I made using a Whimsy die designed by Bev Rochester.</div>

The snowflake border is a Joy Crafts die. As you can see I decorated inside to compliment the front.</div>
