Noor Design UK Challenge

Hello everyone we are away in the caravans this weekend the whole family so I'm hoping this has published.

Its the first of the month..........July can you believe it.....where is this year going??

Anyway 1st of the Month means a new challenge over at Noor Design UK & this month is easy peasy lemon squeezy :-)

DIES

...........see easy peasy right!!

I didnt go die mad for this one, simply because I ran out of time making my other card so used this back up I had made just incase I didnt have time finish the other thing....wow what a lot of babble lol. Anyway here is my DT card.

Still havnt got my light area set up so excuse the pics peeps.

 I've used Pion papers & a Pion image, for all links go to the bottom of the post.

The image is from My Dearest Sofia 'Images From The Past'. I cut it out using a circle die & attached it behind a Wycinanka chipboard frame. I then glued pearl trim around the centre & added pearl dots using a pearl pen, white & pink.

 I love the effect the pearls have added to this frame.

As always I've decorated the inside. The die cuts along the top & bottom of the centre piece are from Magnolia Doohickey Kit Volume 9.

I've machine stitched all around the edge of the papers. All flowers are WOC & the die-cut leaves I used 2 dies, one is a Magnolia die that coame with Lemon Tree Tilda & the other a Rosy Owl die. Also added 2 tassels using the Marianne tassel dies.

I also added some pretty lace & a charm & added a bit of glitter to the centre. I also added a couple of bows using organza ribbon from my stash & addeda brad to the centre.

Well thats it from me, hope you are all having a fabulous weekend.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

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.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

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

Now this card has been made about a month, I've not done any crafting for weeks so thank goodness I had this as a back-up phewwwww.

Now I love love LOVE Boho, I love the style & most things Boho & I lurve the whole Magnolia Boho collection (even though I have a few un-inked still) & there were a couple I was still missing. So I saw Sir Stamp A Lot had some on special order & after getting excited I then calmed myself down, composed myself & ordered a few.....Yeah I know I'm easily pleased lol.

So this pretty lady is 'Romantic Boho Tilda' & she was coloured with distress ink refills, cant remember what paper she is stamped onto though :-(

I cut this sentiment off some ribbon type thingy...... Treasured Moments. Underneath is a Film Strip I cut from a Magnoia die that I got from Swedish House Crafts a month or 2 ago, the die is called 'Insta Stripes'. The clip is a Tim Holtz one from my stash.

The paper is Pion Theodore & Bella 'Rise & Shine' & as always I have machine stitched it. The Butterflies are also Pion.

I aded more of the film strip at the bottom with some WOC flowers. Doily is from my stash.

I added corrufated card under the image painted with Gesso & in between I added a small Magnolia Doily die & a tag made with a Magnolia die & stamped a verse onto it from Stempelglede.

The metal 'Love' heart was from LLC ........I love these things.

Leaves are also Magnolia dies from Paris Nights. Seam binding is from Noor Design UK.

The frame around the image I made with a die from CC Designs.

Ok I think I've babbled on quite a bit now so I'm gonna go & spend the afternoon with my family & as its nice have a BBQ, I lurve weekends ;-)

Its hard to craft this time of year dont you think, when its nice you just want to be outside spending time with loved ones, family, friends enjoying life. Whatever you are doing though I hope you are having fun.

Thank you so much for stopping by, big hugs to you all. I will pop round tosee you real soon. Please pop on over to see my uber talented teamies creations, they are sooooo darn talented!!
