Lovely Lace at Deep Ocean

Hello everyone how are you all?
I'm really late with this post unfortunately so think of it as a midway reminder lol.

I'm here with my DT creation for Deep Ocean Challenge which this fortnight is.....
LOVELY LACE
......oh so so easy, its a rarity I dont put lace on my creations lol.

The card I'm showing today I made when I made my other LOTV christmas card.
This time however I used NO Christmas Paper at all ;-)

So the paper I've used for is Maja Design 'Enjoying Outdoors' 6x6 pad........the colours in this pad go perfectly with the image. I wanted browns to go with the forest the little girl is in but I also wanted to bring the gorgeous colour of her scarf out......

I machine stitched around the edges as always.

I'm sorry about my photo's just lately I've been taking them on my phone & on the conservatory window sill so they are not great.........time has been escaping me just lately as there is so much going on.

Anyhoo enough boring drivvle lol.

The gorgeous image is one of the new releases from LOTV, this is a Simply Print image called 'Singing Robin' & they have added even more since I got this.....may have to go shopping again lol.

I do have some LOTV stamps that I have coloured, I just need get them on cards.

I cut it out using a postage die & then added a layer of purple underneath to give it a bit of impact on the colour........I think its worked nicely.

I added Scrapiniec & WOC flowers down the bottom right corner & to the top right I aded a sentiment from an old wood block stamp & cut it out using a Magnolia die. I then added a couple of bells & some waxed cord.

I've been neglecting my foamiran lately so I was trying something new......which I will show another time, & I decided to make some poinsettia flowers. I made white ones using a none poinsettia die & I made these Ivory ones using a poinsettia die..........I have a few of these dies so its good to experiment to get the right shape & size you want.

I also made the smaller flowers in a purple foamiran using a Rosy Owl die, the leaves I made using a Whimsy die designed by Bev Rochester.

Sorry for the darkness of this photo lol.

The lace is from my stash & I added 2 layers of cream to add softness to it.

The snowflake border is a Joy Crafts die. As you can see I decorated inside to compliment the front.

Thats it for me, I have lots to do today as we got back from Berwick yesterday as we went away for a long weekend with all the family.....lots of washing lol.

I've also got my granddaughter today as she wants sleep over tonight, she isnt back school until next week as she had an operation the day schools started back & has to be off for 2 weeks.

Here she is just before she went to theatre, she was so brave & not scared at all.......I love this girl!!

Payton just before theatre 5th September 2017.

Well I better get off this laptop & move my body. See you soon lovelies, thanks so much for stopping by & reading my drivvle lol.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

Noor Design UK DT Card

Hello everyone hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We all went away for the weekend & thankfully after a few days of miserable weather the weekend stayed really nice.

Ok so today I have a Tilda for you, I actually coloured this stamp a while ago & as I was limited on time to make something I dug her out of my coloured up images box.

Excuse the pics as I took them on my phone & just added a watermark, they have not been edited at all.

All links to all items used will be at the bottom of this post.

The sentiment is a Stempelglede stamp from my stash & the flag banner is form Magnolia Doohickey Volume 14.

The stamp is Magnolia 'After Beach Tilda' & I coloured her with distress ink refills & fussy cut her out.

She is placed on a Little Darlings die cut, one of my faves ;-)

The bow is made with a Magnolia Doohickey die.

I added some lace & a Antique Frame & I added a button in the centre with some bakers twine in the centre,

The flowers is cut off some lace.

I also added 2 bits of Wycinanka in both the top corners.

The papers have been machine stitched around the edge.

Many thanks for stopping by. Take care & enjoy your day.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

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

Noor Design UK Challenge

Hello everyone how are you all?

Its the 1st June so its time for a new challenge over at Noor Design UK & this month the theme is........

SUMMER

.......super easy & in the UK we are even getting the right weather for a change.

Now when I think of summer I think BBQ's & Ice Cream..........so I decided go for one of the those.....I decided the 2nd one as then I could use my new stamp from Noor Design UK.

I will put a list to everything used form Noor Design UK at the bottom of this post.

I used a Go-Kreate for the shape.

I added a couple of things you use in the summer, filmstrip as we use our camera's more in the summer & this umbrella........actually I'm thinking of it as a parasol as we use our parasol's in summer........everyday the sun is out out comes my parasol & it goes on the table outside so I can sit under it have a nice cuppa ;-)

The Magnolia stamp is one of the latest ones........though I've got the new ones on order & cannot wait for those come.........so excited!!

Anyway this is Gelato Tilda & I merged her with a stamp I brought from a lovely bloggy friend who keeps her stamps perfect..........suits me to a tee as I'm particular & fussy with my stamps lol.

Anyway the stamp I merged her with is from The Sea Breeze collection & is called 'Time For Ice Cream'..... I coloured it all with distress inks.

The tag was cut from a Craft & You 12x12 sheet & I added a sentiment from an old Whiff Of Joy stamp set & cut it out using a Little Darlings die & adhered it to the tag. 

Here are the items with links of products from Noor Design UK.

Deep Ocean Challenge DT Card

Hello everyone here today with another DT card, running a bit late might I add.

Now with this one I cheated as I knew I still had cards that I've not shown on this blog yet & because I was ill I didnt have chance to make one.......so thankfully this one fits the theme.

Ok so the new challenge over at Deep Ocean Challenges this month is.......

SPRING

.......so super easy, bring on the sunshine ;-)

 I made this I think back in January for an order & my instructions were just 2 things, Vintage & Yellow.......eeeekkkkk yellow was the scary part lol. However I like to make whatever people ask for..........so here it is

Yep since making this card I have made a few yellow themed creations......yellow is actually my new friend now....no fear here lol.

Of course yellow is easy when you have pretty paper like this from Pion Design The Songbird's Secret. I decorated inside as always but decorated both sides....somwtimes I just do 1 side. I added somewhere to write but took photo's before it was added.

I added this little verse also from the same Pion Design collection. As always all papers were machine stitched & the edging ws done with a MS punch.

I added Lace Grace across the centre & also 2 cream laces along the top & bottom, these were from my stash.

I made a cabochon using one of the motiffs from Pion. The charms underneath are from my stash as is the seam binding.

The chipboard bird is from Wycinanka.

Both tags are removable & both are cut from the Pion Design A Singbird's Secret collection, & on the smaller one I also added a Happy Birthday sentiment also cut from this collection.

The image is from the Image's From The Past sheet & I layered it up onto a Joy Crafts frame die. 

I also added WOC flowers & the leaves were cut out with a Rosy Owl die & bent into shape.

Please pop on over to see my fabulous teamies creations & hope you will join us in our Spring themed challenge.

Thanks for stopping by

Noor Design UK Challenge

Hello there everyone how are you all?

Well as I said yesterday all the family are away for the weekend so I'm hoping Mr Blogger & Thicky Vicky (aka me lol) have done thier jobs right & this has published.

So we have a brand new challenge over at Noor Design UK this month & its soooooooo super duper easy peasy.........

FLOWERS

............see easy right. I literally took the word 'Flowers' & went to town on it lol.

This is also a card for someone special, didnt put the sentiment on til after taking pics as I didnt want the person to guess from the sentiment who its for them ;-)

Its a very pink & shabby chic kinda card but I really enjoyed doing it. I barely planned anything on this card.....except the base that was planned but everything else got kind of grabbed & either die-cut first or just glued straight on lol.

A lot has got hidden but never mind if you look closely you will be able to see things poking out here & there lol.

At the top you can just see the Fantasy die peeking out & the Scrapiniec & some lace.

Ok so the base of this card started with a piece of 6x6 paper form the Maja Design Sofiero pad....my goodness I lurve this collection!! The top layer is from a 12x12 sheet which got cut out using a die form the latest Magnolia Doohickey club kit. Once it was cut out I then cut it out in white card stock also. I then got the Vintage Bricks die by Fantasy & I cut it out in the bottom left corn of the top layer & the top right corner.....leaving it open so you can see the paper underneath.....I have to say I love this die & the different ways of using it.

It may get a lot of use lol.

I've added 4 different laces would you believe lol. I knew adding lace in the traditional way would not look right so I just cut off piece of lace from all the ones I wanted to use & tucked them in here & there.

The white organza ribbon I made 2 bows & heat shrivelled them with my heat gun.....that Bev Rochester likes to inspire us doesnt she ;-)

 You can see the Brick die effect here. You can also see little leave speeking out here & there, that is my favourite Joy Crafts Ivy leaf die & I cut 2 out & used them in the centre as my base leaves...

The larger green leaf is a Magnolia die, its from the Christmas Flowers die & I scrunched it up a bit as leaves are not flat.

I added other leaves in white using a Rosy Owl die, I did bend them a little but they still look flat here :-(

You can see the dimension in this pic, I added foam under the top layer to give it dimension.

I have machine stitched all around the bottom layer of paper but left the top piece.....not quite sure why I think it was because I was happy enought with just how the die-cut looked.

Inside I have decorated to compliment the front, the diference is I've cut the top layer in half & then going down the centre I used another Fantasy die.

The butterfly at the bottom is from my stash.

Hope you will join us in our Flowery challenge this month.....come along & show us all your flowers.....doesnt matter what kind even if its an image as long as we see flowers.
