Noor Design UK DT Post - Follow Your Dreams

Hello everyone how are you all. I'm here with a card for a female & a card for a male today.
The first one I'm showing you is a card I made for my cousin's 18th Birthday which we travelled down south for at the weekend. The card didnt go quite to plan & didnt quite get finished inside :-(
All links to items used will be at the bottom of this post.
I have used the super pretty Forget Me Knot papers again as her favourite colour is turquoise/blue.

I have used some gorgeous Scrapiniec, the round frame is Doily Lace round frame which I painted with white gesso then added blue frantage. I then added the words' Always Follow Your Dreams' & covered them with Ivory Fran-Tage........I thought the wording seemed appropriate for an 18th who has lots of dreams for their future.

The inside I made different & I got the idea a very long time ago from Pinterest, I've made one similar before but not with pockets like this one. There is one to hold a tag & one to hold money.
For the shape I used the Marianne Design Wave Border die, I also used it on the front.

The letters are from Pion Design Mr Tom's Border's. I cut out letters for her name & numbers for 18th at the bottom.. I hung 2 little charms from the name. Of course added lots of gorgeous WOC flowers from Tracy's store.

I also made a male card with the awesome Pion Design Mr Tom's Treasures papers....boy o boy I soooo love these papers. I'm not a big fan of making male card but these make you WANT to make them, I love them!!

I'm hoping you can see the dimension on this picture. The stamp of the car in the middle is a Joy Crafts stamp & I first stamped it onto some Pion paper then stamped it again & fussy cut it out & popped it on some foam pads to raise it up.......I place it slightly off the first stamped image so it was like it was creating more of a 3D effect.

Love the new fence die, perfect for male & female cards this it. I cut it out in black card & placed it behind the image......its like the car is parked in front of the gates ;-) The buttony-thingy at the top (technical term lol) I cut out one of the circle images from the Mr Tom's Tags Sheet & placed it upon a metal.......I'm not sure what ita called to be honest lol, but I think it looks good lol.

Pop on over to Noor Design UK, Tracy has added LOTS more Scrapiniec..........oh my the selection is just fabulous........you will be spoilt for choice!!

Thanks for stopping by, take care & enjoy your day.
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

Happy Birthday Dear Grandson and Noor Design UK DT Cards

Hello everyone, I'm here today to show you 2 creations I've made for the Noor Design UK Blog. One of them is for my grandson....3 years ago today I delivered & kept alive a tiny little baby who decided to come into the world very early....29 weeks & to top it off it was 2 am & in the front seat of my sons car on my drive-way....... I still feel very proud of this little boy who fought against everything to be here today celebrating his 3rd birthday.

Anyway I will show you this one I made first with the cutest Whimsy stamp I've ever seen......seriously I totally adore these elephants & hope they bring more out!!
The shape is from the Dutch Doobadoo Card Art A4 Stand Up, isn't it a fabulous shape!! The papers are the gorgeous Lemoncraft 'Forget Me KNot' 12x12 papers........oh I sooooo love the gorgeous blues in this set.......I will be buying more of these.......LOTS more ;-)

See how totally cute & adorable is this image!! Its called 'Elephant With Butterflies' by Whimsy & I coloured it with distress ink markers & refills. UNder the image is 2 Gilded Doily dies.
Have you noticed the stitching........yep I lost the foot on my sewing machine & my fabby hubby found it.........so I have my foot back ;-)

Added gorgeous pearls down the side.
I've added the sentiment from Little Darlings, the die-cut is Polaroid Camera Die & I cut it out twice to make it thicker & the inside I used co-ordinating paper with the sentiment on. I added the cut out hearts to the card rather than wasting them.
The butterflies I cut from the co-ordinating paper & covered them with crackle accents & added fine pearl string to the centre.
This is the card for my grandson & I used the fabulous new Pion Papers 'Mr Tom's Treasures'......these are awesome for men, for women & for little boys........I love them & want more already & I havnt even used them all lol. 
I've also matted onto the Pion Design Palette.........perfect for matting etc.

I made a shaker card & added German Glass glitter & micro beads inside. I wrapped string around the edge of the outside. The fabulous image is form La La Land Crafts & I've cropped the image & coloured with distress markers & refills, isn't he awesome!!
The letters to spell my grandsons name I cut from one of the Pion Sheets. I've used these papers for the Fathers Day cards but cant show you yet........he may peek ;-)

Again adding senitments from co-ordinating sheets & the place to write a message on is from the same collection. Used the Design Pallette for the wave shape at the bottom......this was cut by hand but I used the Marianne Wave die to draw the shape....see dies can be used for more than cutting ;-)
Added a Lighthouse with gesso on.

Here's the last photo of the 2 creations. I lurve those tassels made with the Marianne die, its one of my favourite dies. Of course all the flowers are from Noor Design UK.

I've just realised I've not used one bit of lace on either of these cards.....wow gotta be something wrong there ;-)

Hope you liked my creations today. Tracy has added new products to her store. Also all the doo-Hickey club die sets have sold out, however there are a few of Volume 10 left with the early bonus die in them. Let me tell you I'm currently making something with that set, its awesome & I especially love the bonus die you get. If you want one get one quick right here.

Thanks you for stopping by, take care & enjoy your day.
I'm off to spend the day with my family celebrating Arjays birthday, Happy Birthday to my awesome little man.....love yout o bits my little hero xxx
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx
