Live & Love Crafts DT Card - Happy Birthday

Hello & welcome to the weekend. I'm here today with my creation for Live & Love Crafts & Sandy set us the theme of using the new Apples & Berries........... Well I can tell you I have a serious addiction to these since Sandy sent us DT girlies them..........I think they have gone on about 90% of my creations. Its an addiction I plan on getting no help for lol, I lurve them soooooo much. 

They really are so pretty & sparkly.......I even struggle putting gesso on them so I dont ruin the sparkle lol.

Links to items used at the bottom of the post ;-)

I have used the gorgeous Maja Design 'Nyhavn Limited Edition' collection, these are so gorgeous & the colours are lush. I've inked the edges with Pumice Stone & machine sewn them as always. The shape of the card was made using a Go-Kreate die.

Ooooh I'm drooling just looking at this pic & seeing the gorgeous Pomegranate Apples & the gorgeous Beaded Berries.........seriosly peeps if you havnt got any yet....then grab them.....grab LOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've made a tag using a Magnolia Doo-Hickey die & the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment is from a Stempelglede 'Just A Note' stamp set. I added a 'Key' Charm, some seambinding, a metal hanger & a gorgeous bit of bling for the centre of the bow.

I've used a Tim Holtz die for the Doily on the side. Inside is decorated with the same papers & has a normal doily.

I have used one of the new stamps from the Magnolia Sakura Collection. This one is called 'Tilda With Kneesocks' & I've coloured her distress markers & refills. I've also added fran-tage around the image, inked the edge & machine sewn it onto the frame which was also inked with Tattered Rose.

I also added Stardust Stickles to her Bow & also along the bottom of her dress.

If you look at the top corner I also stamped 'Carte Postale' from the Stempelglede 'Vintage Garden' stamp set in Versamark & embossed it with white embossing powder.

I've added beautiful lace & a shabby bark star, which also has a small rose & a Pomegranate Apple on. Inside the large Magnolia flower I cut off the stamens & added a Pomegranate Apple in its place.........I'm telling you it's an addiction ;-)

Under the flowers is a Magnolia Doo-Hickey & Feathers.

That's it from me today I'm taking my beautiful grand-daughter to her first dance class at dinner time with her mummy...........so excited, she lurves dancing. It's took her mum & dad so long to find a dance class for her age as most dont allow them to start til they are 4.

Sandra has a 10% sale in her store this Bank Holiday Weekend & has new goodies.....so pop on over & make the most of the sale. Oooh you could get lots of these gorgeous Apples & Berries as well as LOTS of other gorgeous products that Sandy stocks. Go on spoil yourself, you are all worth it ;-)

Let's play some BINGOOOOOO...

........you can use any row or embellishements or any row of colours.........up to you. Important rule though is have fun ;-)

I went with the whole board of embellishments.........well it is me lol.

I have a couple of birthdays next month & the first one is my gorgeous daughter Natalie's on the 6th, I cant believe she will be 23. So this is off me & her dad, the 'Daughter' sentiment is from LOTV.

The doilies either side are from a La La Land Crafts 'Heart Doily Border' die, I've also used the 'Heart Banner' die, I layered it up & added letters from a Pion Sheet spelling out 'Love'.

Here is a piccy of the tag. I used a Magnolia Doo-Hickey 'So Wrapped Lovely' die. Added a Metal Coathanger charm, a scrap of lace, some Prima Vax Cord & some 'Shabby Seam Binding' both from LLC. The pearl centre is from my stash.

The image is a digi image called 'Ladybug Marci' from La La Land Crafts & I coloured her with distress ink markers & refills. The spots on her boots & shell & her antenna & hair ribbons I covered with Stardust Stickles.

Colours used are...

Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo - Skin

Worn Lipstick - Cheeks

Antique Linen, Walnut Stain - Hair

Pumice Stone, Victorian Velvet - Clothes, boots, ribbon & shell.

I added pearl dots for buttons using a pearl pen. I fussy cut her out & placed her on foam pads & onto a Marianne Design die.

The idea for a pink ladybug I got from the lovely talented Tamara. Thanks for the inspiration sweetie ;-)

I have a few La La Land images coloured up, they just need cards lol, although one is already on a card what I made a while ago.

The bottom PInk Lace is from my stash & the top lace is 'Lace Adelaide' from LLC. The paper I've used is Fitsy Editions 'The Promise' 8x8, I inked the edges with Pumice Stone & machine stitched all around them. The shape of the card I made using an XXL Spellbinder die.

 Most of the flowers are form LLC & the other dies I've used are from Noor Design UK, 0370 - Ladybird Edge Die, 0163 - Swirl Leaf die & 0390 - Butterflies die.
