My Dear Puppy

Hello everyone how are you all? Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

I am here today with a card I made a while ago.......I need get through the build up that I havnt shown yet lol. I have used one of the super adorable Dreamerland Stamps.......these really are fabulous to colour I love them. When I got my stamps I sat & coloured up a few of them that night & this was one of them.........I love this stamp sooooo much. You can see the love in it.....it makes my heart melt...

Now this paper is a pad that hubster brought me, he was out & he passed Hobbycraft so he called in to have a peeksie to see if he could buy me anything as a surprise..........isn't he adorable...god I love that man.

Anyhoo I'm soooooo darn fussy on paper I really am but I'm a paper addict.....good paper that is lol.

This pad is lush, the colours are gorgeous, its First Edition Wild At Heart. I machine stitched the bottom 2 layers.

I made a bow with some paper straw/raffia kind of stuff.........yeah dont know what this is called but had it in my stash for a few years & have different colours lol. I added a button to the centre & some stringy twine threaded to the button.

The fabulous stamp is called 'My Dear Puppy' & its from Noor Design UK. I stamped them onto Fabriano paper & coloured with distress ink refills & markers.

The love we feel for our pets & the love our pets give us is unconditional, you can see & feel the love here in this stamp dont you think. So I chose a Love kind of sentiment, I've had it in my craft stash since I first started crafting but have no idea what brand it is.....the verse says

The love in your heart wasn't put there to stay, love isn't love 'til its given away!

For the top 2 layers I used Fantasy Rectangle dies to cut them out & layered the image with foam pads onto the next layer.

I wanted to add different textures to this card & I thought it would go with the paper so I added a piece of hessian to one side.....I cut it so it was frayed to add to the look.

Thats it form me I will be back tomorrow with my Noor Design UK DT make, a little clue to what I've made....its shabby chic ;-)

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.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

Noor Design UK DT Card

Hello everyone, how are you all?

I'm here today with my DT card for Noor Design Uk, I was hoping to show you 2 male cards but due to family being poorly, first my granddaughter Payton came down with a viral infection last Fridy & then its got passed around, now my grandson has it, Natalie has it & hubster has it....only he's had sickness with it too. Even my poor dog was sick as well yesterday...think they are worried I will get bored lol.

Luckily I made this card about 2 weeks ago ready for the stamp & that got put on last week so I will show you that one instead....thank goodness for back ups lol.

I have used another of the fabulous Dreamerland Crafts stamps.........omg I'm addicted to these & they are so enjoyable to colour. I have stamped this gorgeous stamp called 'A Friendship Hug' onto Fabriano& coloured her with distress ink refills & added glitter to the flower in her hair.

I have coloured up a few of these....between these & my Maggies I feel like a happy 6 year old girl colouring away lol.

I have made an easel card, it seems soooo long since I've made one, I think its been a couple of months.

I used 1 sheet of Pion Design 'Theodore & Bella' called 'Waiting To Play' 6x6. The top left corner I saw the border & decided to cut that off & use that as the main part of the bottom layer & mounted it onto foam pads to make it 3D & help the top card stand up.

See photo below.........

I added pearl string. lace & a die-cut & 2 seam binding bows with a bit of bling & that was the bottom..... However I did not want to then cover up that pretty paper to then have to add somewhere to write a message..........

So I did this.......

As there was 1 square of 6x6 left I used that to decorate the inside & make a pocket to put tags in.

I added pearl string to compliment all the card.

I added tag with a LOTV Friend Recipe stamped onto it & another Joy Crafts tag which I left plain to write a message on.........& no pretty paper gets hidden ;-)

All of the flowers I have made myself using foamiran. I've used Ivory foamiran for the large flower & for the medium flower I have used white & the very small ones I've used Ivory again. I used Lime Green for the leaves & for the centres....the centres I also added red oil pastel on the ends to give it more colour & definition. I also added Viva Decor Ice Effect to give it a sparkly effect in the centre.

They look soooooo much better in real life & sparkle better :-(

Can you see the difference of the colours of the flowers......they have both have the same colour oil pastels added & because the large one is Ivory the colour is different..........guess who is going to by lots more Ivory Foamiran now lol. I love the softer feel to it.

I mahcine stitched all around the papers.

Added another gorgeous row of pearls along the top of the 2nd layer on the main part of the card,those pearls are my favourite. I did kind of go pearl mad with this card but they go so well with this pretty paper. Even the tones in the bling & the key go beautifully with the tones of the papers.

Pop yourself over to Noor Design UK & look at the fabulous new Dreamerland Crafts stamps that Tracy has & the foamiran & all the pretty papers &....welll I could go on & on & on......lol.

Pop yourself over & have a fab time shopping.....easter bunny will want you to to treat yourself for easter ;-)

Thanks for stopping by.

Huge hugs Vicky xxx
