Noor Design UK DT Cards - All About Love

Hello everyone I'm here todaywith a project for Noor Design Uk, I'm standing in as our lovely Fleur sadly stepped down as she is so busy........she will be a huge miss here :-(
So Ive stepped in to cover this week, although you also have to put up with me tomorrow as that's my normal posting day.
Ok so I've made 2 cards just using gorgeous Dies from Noor Design & fabulous Mask Arts from Dutch Doobadoo & lots of embossing ;-)
Lots of piccies today peeps, sorry ;-)
Both cards I've made using Ivory card & matted up with a bit of white.

The bottom layer I dry embossed using the 'Mask Art Flowers', I love these mask arts from Dutch Doobadoo they really are so versatile. I plan on collecting them all lol.

I also dry embossed the circle shape as well & layered that onto scalloped card in white & then onto the 'Square Frame die' which was heat embossed with Ivory Fran-tage on the raised parts only.

I used 2 different leaves dies, these are my favourite ones. I also used the 'Just Married - Wedding' die but just the wording part & heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I then attached that to the larger banner die & created an arch with it across the frame.
I added gorgeous flowers & hearts shaped in each corner.
This is my 2nd card using the gorgeous new 'Heart Filled With Butterflies' die, again using Ivory card. On this card on the bottom layer I used the 'Mask Art A5 Grunge' from Dutch Doobadoo & dry embossed it onto the card. I matted it onto white card & then added lace & machine stitched around the edge.
On the 'Heart' die I heat embossed all the butterflies with Ivory Fran-Tage. I did this by using a rangers clear embossing pen.
This photo shows you it complete, tbh the photo does not do it justice as it really looks so pretty in real life & adds a new dimension to the die. I cut & embossed this die 3 times.........

...........2 of the hearts I matted onto scalloped hearts. The 3rd 'Heart' I cut & embossed I cut out all the butterflies & attached them just by the middles to make them 3D on the top heart.
I also added pearls that I cut form the lace so the hearts could be laid flat, it seemed a shame to throw them away...........so I recycled them lol.

I added the 'Sending Love xoxo & Carpe Diem' die to the top & bottom corners. I heat embossed them with Gold embossing powder.

The 2dn heart I glued on with Collall 3D glue, I also glued the bottom layer to the card using this glue to raise it all up. 

I added a Butterfly to each card using different dies & heat embossing them with gold embossing powder.
I really enjoyed making these cards & I was actually pleased with the way they turned out. They look better IRL..........its hard for our photo's to do our projects justice isn't it.

The gorgeous lace is from Live & Love Crafts which I've had for quite a while.........I was keeping it to stroke lol. The flowers are also from LLC.

Anyhoo's that's it form me, sorry about the long post & lots of photo's. Hopefully these cards have inspired you in some way.
Pop on over to Noor Design UK to see all these fabulous products & much MUCH more. Seriously I cant get enough of these products & all the products inspire me to make more than just my usual cards.

Take care & enjoy your day
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxxxxx

Live & Love Crafts DT Card - Enjoying The City

Hello everyone its Saturday so that means 2 things.........1 you have me posting a creation today & 2 it's the weekend yayyyyyyyy.
So our theme for us DT girls over at Live & Love Crafts is Something New Something Old. Well my new is my new Magnolia stamp, I coloured this one up as soon as I got her.........I also have another 3 of the new ones coloured up as well so far lol. 1 more even on a card.........its just need foofiness ;-)
I've used what was the latest Maja Design 'Nyhavn' papers until Sandy got the new baby ones in ............OMG they are so gorgeous & I will be using them for everything NOT just babies lol.
I've inked the edges with Pumice Stone & machine stitched all around the edges.

My other thing new is this Magnolia Doo-Hickey die, I've been after it forever & I finally noticed it was instock over at Sir Stamp A Lot this week so grabbed it quick. I cut it out of the 2 same papers & added a rose to the centre. The Bark Heart tucked in behind is one of the older ones before Sandy got the Shabby ones.

A few Doo-Hickey dies on here today lol & of course gorgeous flowers & I also added Magnolia stem things as well...........this is my something VERY OLD as I've had them a looooong time.
The edging at the top is a 'Spring Flower Lace' Magnolia die, I cut it out in card & then in matching paper to make the flowers look more 3D. I placed heart shaped pearls to the centres of each.
There is actually a Magnolia tag under there lol, hard to see on the piccy though. I also added Sandra's Shabby Seam Binding in 2 colours, a Love Pennant Clip & a Pearl Button to the centre of the bow.
I added a Film Strip die from Noor Design UK, cut in half then cut off the banner off one of the Maja Design sheets, I thought she looked as though she was 'Enjoying The City'......perfect for the image ;-)
Ok so this stamp is called 'Insta Tilda' & she is from the new Magnolia WWW Collection. I coloured her with a mixture of distress markers & refills. 
Ok colours used are (RF next to colour means Refill & M means Marker)
Tattered Rose (RF) Vintage Photo (RF) - Skin
Aged Mahogany & Worn Lipstick (Both M) - Cheeks
Walnut (M) - Hair
Stormy Sky (M) - Top
Faded Jeans (M) - Jeans
Pumice Stone, Black Soot & Fired Brick (All M) - Camera
Spun Sugar & Victorian Velvet were used to do the background. Obviously I cut her feet off to fit in the frame.........I used anaesthetic so she didnt feel anything lol ;-)


The Chipboard Frame I've had for a while, I first gave it 2 coats of Gesso & then added Shabby White Fran-Tage in the corners. I also sprayed the image with spray & shine which have made the colours go a bit funny tbh but does give it a nice sheen IRL lol.


Ok that's it from me today the builders have arrived to get the roof finished as they are knocking through on Monday eeekkk, I'm dreading the dust :-( They dont usually work Saturday but they want to get it moved along.
Anyhoo's lovelies hope you have super duper weekend.
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxxxxxx
