Have A Lovely Birthday

Hello there everyone how are you all?

Well I'm working through cards that I made that have not been blogged & I have a few lol. This one is a vintage kinda card that I made.......oooh let me think, I'm gonna guess about 3 months ago maybe lol. I love the colours pink & green together its shabby chic/country dontcha think??

Ok now the problem is I have to try remember what products I used as I like to tell you what I use & enable you to go buy them hee hee.

Ok the shape was definitely made with a Go-Kreate die & the papers are definitely Pion. The image is also Pion.

I used a fairly new die, or at the time it was & thats the Umbrella die which is a Magnolia die that I got from Swedish House Crafts...........I had been after this die for soooooooo long & whilst trying to get it I found a shop that I didnt know existed & they do all fabulous Swedish products.....Suha the owner is so sweet.

The cabochon I made myself by cutting a clock from Pion paper with a circle punch & then attaching a glass cabochon dome over the top.........I glued it with glossy accents.

The seam binding underneath are from my stash.....the pale green one I made myself ages ago.

The photo's were taken ages ago & for some reason I only took these ones....

Dies I've used are LLLC Doily die at the left side, I also added 2 doily dies on the right under the image, a Fantasy die & the other is a Marianne die. The playing cards were cut from Pion Design paper.

The sentiment is LOTV.

Well thats it from me today will be back tomorrow with a newer card......

Hope the weather is good for you where ever you are, its miserable here & just started raining....we did have sunshine & I pegged washing out......yep then I did the running act trying to dodge the rain drops whilst getting it all back in again lol......its now in the dryer :-(

Thanks for stopping by lovelies, take care.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

New Home

Hello all you lovely jubbly people out there, how are you all?

I thought I better start making my way through cards I've not shown on my blog yet & they have been made a while lol.

I'm gonna start with my quicky card thatI made for my eldest son & his gorgeous family.

At the end of May they moved into a new house, they used to live just down the street but had to move as the Landlord decided to sell the house. Now they live about 1/2 a mile away so still they are close..........they didnt want to live too far away.

At the time things were pretty hectic with them moving & Natalie got took into hospital.

So I turned to LOTV.........

Their Simply Print heets are fabulous for when you dont have time to colour an image. I absolutely love this image & will get it to colour as well.........how darn cute is it!!! 

Its called 'A New Adventure' & you can get it here. OMW you can also get James Bear in Simply Print as well...........thats it I'm gonna be skint!!!

Of course I decorated inside as always but I also put in this fabulous sentiment also from LOTV. Its a digi stamp set where you get 14 verses, I think mine is the 'Digi Stamp Set, Verses, Script' but there are different fonts so you can choose.......or go for all of them ;-)

I cut the verse out with a smaller postage stamp die to match the front, postage because I was thinking of mail redirection lol.

Ok time to remember what products I used. Paper I believe is Crafts & You 'Rose Garden' 12x12....I think lol. I made the card using a Go-Kreate die. Doily & lace from my stash.

Flowers are WOC & leaves were made with a Rosy Owl die. The sentiment was stamped with a wood block stamp from my stash & then cut out using a LLLC Stitched Circle die & then I added a key from my stash to the bottom.

Pretty simple-ish but I quite liked it. I have made them something else but you will have to wait to see that ;-)

Enjoy your day I'm off to strip beds as its bedding day on Friday's.......oh my I can barely contain my excitement lol. However as its bedding day it means its nearly the weekend wooooo hoooooo!!!

What ever you are doing hope you enjoy it peeps.

Thanks for stopping by.

Deep Ocean Challenges - Layers

Hello everyone I'm back again with my DT card for Deep Ocean Challenges which this fortnight is..........

LAYERS

........so so easy right!!

Now this card I actually made for April mood board for Maja Design......yep I'm a wee bit late lol. That much went on that month & I didnt have time to blog it & forgot about it :-(

So here it is for you today lol.

Photo's were taken before my craftroom was ripped apart, I'm hoping to be finished by end of next week......

So quite a few layers on this, it fit this challenge perfectly so I didnt have to rush & make one lol.

The papers are my favourite & are from the Sofeiro collection, oh my I love that collection & I've used my favourite sheets in that collection as well. All paper have been machine stitched as always.

I added 2 layers of lace from my stash.

The main focal point is an image from the Emphera sheet which I cut out using a Postage die. I added some corrugated card underneath that which was painted with gesso & then another piece cut from a postage die....I love postage dies lol.

The heart sticking out is a Fantasy die from Noor Design UK.

This is the tag that pulls out from the side, I've kept the photo dark so you can see the wording better. I stamped a verse from a Stempelglede stamp onto some paper with versamark & then heat embossing with white embossing powder. I then cut it out using a LLLC Tag die, I also added some pattern to the edge of the tag again using Stempelglede stamp & embossing powder.

It really does look so pretty IRL.

As always I have decorated inside. I've added white organza ribbon by the flowers & also on the tag & heat shrivelled them to add to the shabby chic look. I added cheesecloth between 2 layers of paper which you can just see peeking out. I also added a white metal corner from my stash & a rose & butterfly also from my stash.

Well thats it form me please pop on over to see what my fabulous teamies made. Hope you will join us for our layers challenge.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Noor Design UK - Anchor's Away

Hello everyone how are you all?

Hope you all had a lovely weekend, we had a really nice one, out with all the family & both the family dogs on Saturday & then spent the day with family again on Sunday & had a BBQ at mine, love weekends.

Ok less babbling & lets show you what I've made with products from Noor Design UK. Today I have a more male inspired card for you.........yep less foofiness lol. I sometimes find male cards hard but I do think Pion Design make male cards easier with their gorgeous papers.

I love this collection.....ok I love most of Pion's collection lol. This collection is 'Legends Of The Sea' but the 'Happy Birthday' tag is from the Mr Tom's Treasure's Collection.

All links are below to take you to the products I've used

For the centre I used an 'Anchor' image from Images From The Past & added foam pads underneath to raise it up. Under that I cut out a rectangle using a Fantasy Die from the same sheet I used for the card which is 'Aye Aye Captain' & raised that too to give it all dimension.

The boat at the bottom I fussy cut from the Aye Aye Captain sheet & popped it onto foam pads & underneath I cut out seaweed from Foamiran.

The Anchor, Lighthouse & Seagull are cut from Joy Crafts dies.

The tag I cut from Pion Mr Tom's Treasures 'Mr Tom's Memory's Notes'. I punched a hole through it, added an eyelet & then a keyring from my stash hooked onto a Tim Holtz Clip.

I cut the corner from a Joy Crafts corner die. I also added bubbles here & there using Structure Paste & a mask art stencil that Tracy can order in if you would like it.

Seaweed is cut with a Magnolia die.

Thats it from me, thank you so much for stopping by.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

Noor Design UK DT Card

Hello everyone how are you all?

I was hoping you to show you a project this week with in depth photo's or maybe even a video of the making or part of. However my daughter got took into hospital & although she is home now she is still very poorly. Also my eldest son & family moved at the weekend so I was looking after my grandchildren as well as my poorly Natalie & well there are not enough hours in the day.

So I will show you that next week as I'm really looking forward to doing it. Today though I have some shabby chic for you......oh my I love shabby chic........I would have it everywhere........even hubster would get the shabby chic treatment if I could get away with it lol.

I used the oh so pretty Pion Design 'My Dearest Sofia' papers, I went with blues for this one with just hints of pink in the background.

I have also used bits from the Crafteezee Collection No.9 which I think was March Elegant collection......but I'm not certain :-(

The 2 hearts in this photo are from the Crafteezee collection, the lace heart is lace & you get a long length of it but I just cut 1 heart off.....you may end up seeing these lots lol

The small metal heart I added Ivory Fran-Tage embossing powder to it but before I heated it with my heat gun I rubbed off little bits here & there so a bit of bronze would still peek through.

I also cut out 2 doilies, 1 in white card using a Fantasy die & the other from Pion paper with a Marianne die...........these are 2 of my favourite dies........amongst many others lol.

This little wooden peg with a heart on was also from the crafteezee collection....I added white gesso to the wooden peg & then stamped a postage stamp on the half of the heart.......its not showing up very good in this picture. I stamped onto paper first to get a lot of the ink off as I wanted it light.

I love the metal leaves but sometimes I think they dont really go with my card..........so I added Fran-tage embossing powder to both sides & heated them with my heat gun.........be careful & use tweezers as they get very hot with being metal.

Now I absolutely LOVE them & will be buying lots & giveing them the fran-tage treatment lol.

For these I used Ivory Fran-Tage to match the smaller metal heart in the previous photo.

I used some gorgeous flowers & I used quite a few different leaves. I used the metal ones & I used 2 different Rosy Owl Leaf dies & I also used Tim Holtz Holiday Greens.......I think a couple of the dies in this set you can get away with all year round. The Tim Holtz ones I cut with the blue 12x12 Pion Sheet, Rosy Owl was cut with the green 12x12 pion sheet & the maja design sheet & also white cardstock..... I also added some heat treated organza ribbon in there as well.

I added cheesecloth between the first & second layer & I also added 2 different laces. I distressed all my edges with a Tim Holtz tool.

Well thats it from me dont forget about our current challenge which is 'Add Lace' here.

Thanks so so much for stopping by it means a lot to us.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx
