Deep Ocean Challenge DT Card

Hello again, I know I'm like the bus service.....you dont see me for a week (I think lol) then 2 in 1 day.....

This time I'm here with my DT card for Deep Ocean Challenge.....if you would like to see my mixed media card for Noor Design UK either scroll down or click here ;-)

The challenge this fortnight at Deep Ocean is......

ANYTHING NEW

Ok so if you read this mornings post you will know about my hand.......well luckily this card has been done for a few days & I had just finished putting the flowers on on Friday night before my hand kinda broke on the Saturday morning lol....ok not broke broke but not well lol.

So for my anything new I have made a baby card with some new things I had off santie ;-)

Now this image has been coloured up since last summer........yep Sitting Tingla by Magnolia has sat in my coloured images box for a long time.....dont worry though she is NOT alone & some have been there a LOT longer lol.

She was stamped onto my favourite paper here & coloured with distress ink markers & refills.

I added stickles to her dummy (pacifier) & the heart on her onesie.

I found this little cutie on Ebay last year & got quite excited, coloured her up immediately.....then put her in a box lol....

The papers are of course Maja Design Vintage Baby......my favourite baby papers but not just for babies ;-) I inked & distressed the edges & then machine sewn them.

I also cut 2 tags to add in as well, added eyelets & seam binding.

I fussy cut around the little girl & just glued the edges down so that the tags had somewhere to slide in. I also stamped around the edge of the white card with a postage stamp by Magnolia & added a Pacifier die-cut in the top corner.

The Bottle die-cuts, the Baby wording & the little Duck thingy-ma-jig is from Joy Crafts One Of A Kind Baby Set dies......this I had off hubby for crimbo.

The doily was cut out using a Cheery Lynn die.

Another new thing on the card is the gorgeous pink Chiffon Rose With Pearl Lace going down the side.......I got a few gorgeous laces.....oh I lurve lace :-)

The bow was made using Magnolia Bride Bow die. In the top corner I added a spool from my stash & attached the sentiment which I cut form the bottom of a 12x12 sheet of Maja Design paper.

There is a Corner die in the other corner which is this one & the pretty flowers & Cheesecloth are from Noor Design UK.

Image was cut out using Memory Box Stitched Ovals.

Ok thats definitely it from me today, thank you so much for stopping by.

Lotsa big hugs

MMMMM PIZZAAAAAA

Hello everyone.

I know you dont normally see me on a Wednesday night but I've made a card for fun........yep no order, no DT, just for the pure pleasure lol. 

Actually my lovely talented bloggy friend Gina set a new challenge over at Fussy & Fancy & I really wanted to make a card for that challenge.......

The challenge is Favourite Things......now in some ways its a toughie as I have lots, however I do have some VERY firm favourites.......see if you can guess them ;-)

Ok so 5 very firm favourites are........Maja Design paper (of course), Magnolia stamps & dies, Distress Inks,  Lace & Flowers.......

I've used Maja Design Summertime 12x12 papers from Noor Design UK, all layers have been inked & machine sewn (another favourite thing to do). The card shape is done with a Go-Kreate die.

The stamp is Magnolia 'Pizza Spinning Tilda' & I stamped her onto Fabriano watercolour paper & coloured her with distress ink refills & markers. The pizza I stamped twice & layered up with foam pads to give dimension.

I've added a 'Firework' die here as I think these are fab & could go on any card. Underneath are 2 envelopes from Doohickey club kit 9.......another favourite of mine now is collecting these :-)

I've also added a doily & cheesecloth underneath. 

I added a Kraft Mini Bag to put 2 Magnolia Tags in with sentiments from Stempelglede's Just A Note stamp set. The seam binding is from my stash. The blingy button is from Noor Design UK called 'Button Marie'. The flowers are also from Noor Design UK.

I've added Magnolia Doohickey 'Surfing Leaf' & cut it from Summertime sheet 'Greenery'. I also added Magnolia 'Celebration Lace' die. I've also added one of my favourite dies from Magnolia which are the swirls......

The image is cut with Memory Box stitched Oval die & you can also see lace peeking out there lol.

I also added a bit of shabby white frantage around the image.

Well that's it from me but I will be here Friday with my last card for La La Land Crafts.

So until then, tatty bye & thanks for stopping by.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

Noor Design UK DT Cards - For The Men In Life

Hello everyone how are you all?
I'm here today with not one male card but 2.....yes 2 male cards!! I think I'm sickening for something........yep I'm ill ;-) Just kidding ;-)
On both of these cards I have used papers from the same collection, Pion Mr Tom's Treasures.....these make male cards so much easier :-)
My first one is using an image from Mr Tom's Treasures.........all links to items used will be at the bottom of the post.

This image is perfect for the males in our lives, especially our fathers & grandfathers ;-)

The base of my card is Kraft card but all other card used for matting I used Pion Design Palette.

All papers & image have been distressed & machine sewn around the edges.

I love these sentiments they are perfect. I punched a hole in each corner & added eyelets, string & a Tim Holtz clip to hold them in place.......... Can you also see the Kraft Pocket there peeking out a little....

Its to hold this tag inside, maybe you could something special on here just for that special fella in your life........maybe tell them how special & loved they really are...

This is the inside of each card, these postcards are perfect for adding to the inside for a place to write your message

My 2nd card features a stamped image.

Distress ink refills & Markers used are....

Skin - Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose & Candied Apple for Cheeks

Hair - Antique Linen & Walnut Stain

Walking Stick - Vintage Photo

Suit, Hat & Shoes - Pumice Stone, Hickory Smoke & Stormy Sky is used for the blue

I have used Edwin from Magnolia Little London Collection & while I do have the phone booth stamp, I've been waiting to use this Scrapiniec Telephone Box. I did originally ink the whole thing with Fired Brick distress ink but then changed my mind & painted the bottom layer with white gesso instead......I also added small clear foam pads in between the bottom & top layer to add some more dimension. Behind I used Little Darlings Fancy Squares dies.....the larger part I used the half piece you get in the set to make it larger ;-)

Top left is a bingo card form the Pion sheet & I added a Pen Nib to the top......because I've added a silver charm to the tag on the right side I wanted the pen nib to match........so I embossed it with silver embossing powder.......be warned it gets very hot!!

On the right picture you can see the pocket peeking out & you can see a charm & the words 'My Father'.......

I added a tag again with one of the 'Images From The Past' sheet, I trimmed it down to fit on the tag as I really love what it says on it.........The car I think is something Edwin would drive dont you think ;-)

I made cabochons with the circles you get on Mr Tom's Tags Sheet, on the left I made a clock cabochon & on the right is a gentleman that looks a lot like Edwin.......complete with hat & stick lol.

I added banners on both using Little Darlings Stitched Flags die.

I really enjoyed making these male cards, think it helps when you have fabulous products from Noor Design UK.

Speaking of the store........have you seen the totally yummy new products Tracy has added...well grab yourself a cuppa & a biscuit & pop on over here to browse all the new products....including new whimsy stamps here.

Thanks for stopping by, take care.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

New Challenge At Deep Ocean Challenges

Hello everyone, back again with my 2nd post today. If you want to see my DT post for Noor Design UK scroll down.

Ok so onto my next DT post & I am back with the talented girlies over at Deep Ocean Challenges woooooo hooooooo, missed these gals.

Ok the new challenge is perfect for the time of year we are in........

SEASIDE/BEACH

..........told ya it was perfect ;-)

I made a Pop-Up box with the latest collection of Magnolia stamps & Maja Design Summertime papers.......I'm sure these collections were made for each other ;-)

On this panel I put a few flags, inked the edges with Weathered Wood distress ink & tied together with blue waxed cord & added a teeny shell ;-)

The postage stamp I cut from the Maja Design Summertime Die-Cuts. 

On this side I cut out a boat, its from a die I've barely used, I think its Die-Versions maybe...I added matching paper on part of the boat but left the sails white.

I added a Anchor & a boat steering wheel charm.

I added Seaweed inside & at the back an image cut from the Die-Cuts sheet. I also added a seahorse.

At the back I decorated it of course lol........its me, but at the last minute....after taking photo's lol, I decided to add somewhere to put a tag. I attached a bit of co-ordinating paper for the large tag. On the paper I then added a bit of Ruffled Lace trim, love this stuff, to accomodate a smaller tag.

For the tags I decided make some using Little Darlings Stitched Flags & added co-ordinating paper folded over at the top, an eyelet & some waxed cord.

The gorgeous paper I used is Maja Design Summertime 'Cute Summer Dress'.

The Magnolia stamps I used are 'Tilda In The Wind' & 'Sunbathe Tilda' from the Seaside collection.

They are coloured with distress markers & refills, Sunbathe Tilda had her dress paper pieced.

Pop on over to the Deep Ocean Challenge blog to see my teamies uber fantastic creations.....I am so lucky to work with such talented girlies on all my DT's.

Thanks for stopping by, take care.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx
