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

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

It Is Your Day Today

Hello everyone, how are you all?

Its been quite a week for us, we went away on Monday for a few days in the caravan but unfortunately Natalie got took into the RVI hospital on the Tuesday with suspected Pneumonia. Thankfully its not that & its a chest infection, she is quite poorly but at home now. A long time ago we brought blood pressure & sat monitors etc so we can keep an eye on all those.

Anyway I thought I would show a card that I've not shown yet, I have a few I've not shown yet but lets start with one I made back in January I think it was lol.

I had an order for 4 cards off a lady & one of the cards had to be vintage & purple.........so here it is....

The gorgeous papers that I immediately went to are Pion Design.....unfortunately I could not decide between 2 collections.........so I used both together.

I used paper from 'Scent Of Lavender' & 'Where The Roses Grow' both collections from Noor Design UK.

I added some gorgeous white lace along the bottom which you can just see peeking out & then some fablous purple lace with flowers on on the top. I've also added Cheesecloth under the image too.

All of these from Noor Design UK.

Of course as always I decorated inside, sorry I forgot to take pics of inside & of course this card went a very long time ago lol.

The image on the front is from the 'Where The Roses Grow' collection off sheet 'Images From The Past' I cut it out with a postage die & cut out a sentiment from a Pion sheet along the bottom saying....'It Is Your Day Today'

The butterflies are also Pion & I added crackle accents to them & some fine pearl string to the centre.

Doilies are from my stash & I added lots of WOC flowers & the leaves were made using Rosy Owl dies from Noor Design UK.

Thats it from me I will show you another card tomorrow. I also made a card for the Maja Design Mood Board beginning of this month so will show you that over the weekend.

Hope you have a super weekend, hopefully the weather will be nice, its awful here today.....wet & miserable!! 

Take care & thanks for stopping by.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

Send Me Flowers

Hello everyone how are you all?

Well I'm here today with my DT post for Noor Design UK, I've missed 2 weeks as so many things have been going on in real life so took a break. However I am back now & you can expect things to return to normal.........though I'm far from normal hee hee.

Ok so I'm here today with a Dreamerland Craft stamp....now in all honesty half of this card was made weeks ago but didnt get finished. So I thought I would finish this one first :-)

I have used the fabulous Lemoncraft Everyday Spring 12x12 papers, these are so colourful & bright & go with anything.

As always I have machine stitched all around the edges.

The seam binding is one I coloured myself. The centre piece is actually a Brad from Noor Design UK, these I love!!

Underneath is a Fantasy die & also along the edge is another Fantasy die.

Talking of Fantasy dies, have you seen all the new ones Tracy has recently added........soooooo fabulous!!

I have took a photo of the inside before I add somewhere to write on just to show youhow pretty these papers are. As you can see I have also added the Fantasy die inside too along the edge.

The fabulous stamp is one of my favourites I absolutely fell in love with this the second I saw it......how darn cute is Teddy there!! So this cutie is called 'Send Me Flowers' & I stamped onto Fabriano & coloured with distress ink refills. I dont remember the colours as I coloured this up about a month ago. 

I also added pearl dots randomly with a pearl pen & cut it out using Little Darlings Fancy Rectangle die.....probably my most used die lol.

Have you seen the utterly dorable wooden fence..........how cute is that!!! I added a charm on top of it to add to the whimsical charm of it all.

I added WOC flowers & the large flower is made from Foamiran which I made a few weeks ago with the newest release of Rosy Owl dies. I also added a feather underneath. The rolled flower is form my stash.

Well thats it from me but I have something a little different for you next week ;-)

Until then why not go have a splurge in Tracy's shop where you can find sooooooo many goodies........seriously you will be spoilt for choice.

Thanks for stopping by.
