Lovely Hanglar & Sweet Magnolia DT Card

Hello everyone I'm running so late with this, I thought I had done &......well clearly I hadnt so I'm gonna crack on. I have a peek sneak of something sooooooo cute at the bottom of the post though, so why not hang around lol.

Ok so my lovelies we have a brand new challenge over on Lovely Hanglar & Sweet Magnolia & the challenge is.......drum roll please......

USE TRIM

......so it can be lace, ribbon, seam binding, pom pom trim, organza roses....you et the drift dont you ;-)

I had hoped I would have a different project ready but I didnt but thankfully had this one as back-up which I made a few weeks ago.

The image I masked & coloured a couple of months ago so it was nice to finally put it on a card.

The stamps I used are Magnolia 'Tilda With Flower In Her Pocket' from the Country Girl collection & I masked her with Magnolia 'Little Westie With Flower' I left the Westie off though & just used the flowers, again this stamp is from the Country Girl collection. I got these from Swedish House Crafts.

They were coloured with distress ink refills & then I cut the image out using Gummiapan Stitched Circle dies.

I made a tag using the Surfboard tag....I've had this for about a year & finally used it for the first time, shocking I know....I have quite  a few like this, some still in their packets...yes I'm bowing my head in shame right now :-(

The words are from a Tim Holtz pad. I made the tag so it can swivel out to write something on the plain one underneath.

I think the brad is My Minds Eye........maybe...

Of course as always I decorated the inside. The paper is Maja Design Summer Crush & I have machine stitched all layers, added gesso here & there & added Gummiapan Stitched Circle dies to the centre.

I added a paper straw saying Happy Birthday at the top using a Whimsy stamp & matching die.

I also added seam binding & I coloured it myself a long long time ago. Button, doilies & lace are form my stash.

I used Magnolia Doohickey Vintage Box Lacing Coffee at the side & the leaves are also Magnolia dies. Flowers are WOC.

Please pop on over to see my fabulous teamies creations & leave them all some love, seriously I work with such talented girlies & feel darn proud of them & lucky to work with them.

Ok do you want to see my sneak peak of something soooooo darn cute....of course you do, well feast your eyes on my new puppy. Only 2 weeks old at the minute, we met them for the first time on Monday 16th & they will be ready on 1st December.

This is Mummy with her 12 babies, yes 12........OMW how did she do that.....where the heck did she hide them all as she is not that big. There is not one runt & she is a fantastic mum & greeted us so so well. She came out to greet us & we stroked her, she really is beautiful.

Me holding my new baby, isn't he adorable....I cant wait til he comes home. I didnt want to put him down lol & when I got home Poppy sniffed where I had held him for ages.

I went to my best friends house after for a couple of hours & stroked her dogs but Poppy didnt even bother with their scent.....just the pups scent.

We got first pic out of all these babies & I picked this handsome fell, first one to have a collar as well. The lady who owns this gorgeous mum & litter sent me this photo to my phone yesterday, I love him already.

I picked him out just by a photo on Friday, I knew as soon as I saw him amongst all his brothers & sisters. Thankfully I did as the first lady to go on Saturday picked mine & desperately wanted him but the lovely lady said he was reserved & while she was disapointed she picked another gorgeous little  fella.

I do have a name ready for him but I will tell you that when he comes homes.........just incase I change my mind (doubt it though lol)

Ok well its actually 3.48 am & I've not been sleep yet as I have an upset daughter who has not been well for a few days & other reasons why I'm up which I will not bore you with as I think I have babbled waaaaayyyy to much as it is lol.

Thank you for stopping by & if you stayed to the end well done you lol.

Tatty bye lovelies, take care & enjoy your day what ever you are doing.

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

Deep Ocean Challenge DT Card

Hello again this is my 2nd post today providing that my first has published........in fact I'm hoping that this has published lol. Scroll down to see my Noor Design UK card.

So its time for a new challenge over at Deep Ocean Challenges this fortnight & the challenge is.....

Hearts

.......Yep another heart one.........seems we are all in love this month lol....so show us that love baby ;-)

So my card to show is one I made for hubster's birthday which was last week on the 2nd. I actually made his cards last year but then one I kept looking at & couldntdecide if I liked it so decided to quickly make him another........yep in the dying hours the night before lol.

On the morning though I then couldnt decide if I liked the new one or not....argh!!! Was gonna give him them both & let him decided.......then was gonna pop the shop & buy one lol.

However I bit the bullet & gave him the new one.......

Luckily he loved it.......think he may be a bit bias though lol.

Papers are Maja Design Vintage Autumn.....I love these papers.....what do you mean I say that about them all.....noooooo that doesnt sound like me ;-) sssshhhhhh lol

The centre bit I cut & then the bit that was left I fussy cut the 2 balloons off & popped them onto foam pads. Of course all papers were machine stitched.

This adorable image is from LOTV & is from the Odd Dog range....I've kept looking at these & then decided to get some....however as I wanted quite a few it was cheaper to buy the whole lot for £15....yes £15 for 21 digi images...how fab!!!

I coloured Odd Dog Balloon with distress ink refills & added Glossy Accents to his heart balloon.

The sentiment is Whimsy Stamps Bold Banner stamp & die from Noor Design UK. 

The 'Love You' text is form one of my new dies hubby got me the other week from CC Designs....its from Make A Card 12 Smoochies set.........love these make a card sets.......brilliant for simpler cards & foofy cards. I cut the Love You out twice & glued them together.

A very simple card.........hopefully I do a better job with the rest of the Odd Dog images....though they are perfect for the simpler cards lol.

Pop on over to see my teamies creations & why not join us.

Hope you all have a wonderful week. Thanks for stopping by.

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

Noor Design UK Febuary Challenge

Hello there & welcome to Febuary lol........wow a  month has passed us already.......I'm still waiting for the days to be extended to 36 hours instead of 24 but parliment seem to be dragging their heels.....mmmm what couldpossibly be the hold up ;-)

Ok enough of my jibber jabber I'm here today with my DT card for Noor Design UK.......its the 1st of the month so you know what that means.........yep new challenge. An easy one again this month as its the month of lurve & we all need lurve...this month the challenge is...

'HAVE A HEART'

......perfect for Valentines which is around the corner. 

Ok so yesterday I showed you the seaside chair form magnolia......I actually meant to put a sentiment on that saying take it easy lol......then ended up with something different...how I dont know. Anyway here is the chair again but someone's butt is on it today ;-)

Ok the shape is made with a Go-Kreate die but everything else is from Noor Design UK & all links are at the bottom of the post.

Here is the seaside chair with Frenchy Tilda's butt on it lol. Frenchy Tilda is from the Spring Fever Collection 2016 which you can get here.

They were both stamped with Stazon brown as its very rare I use black ink for stamping images & they were coloured with distress ink refills....I love the refills. I also added something else which you cannot see as I've taken inspiration from my talented DT buddy Barbara & I've added Tim Holtz Glaze all over the image.

This stops any smearing, smudging & seals & protects the image & waterproofs it. I cannot tell you how many images I have ruined by accidents but now I have this little magic pot I wont yayyyy.

The papers are again Maja Design Summertime & I've stitched all around the edge.

The oval die the image is on is actually a winter die from Find It Trading but you gotta love dies that can be used all year round & this certainly can.

The Winter die & a lot of the Magnolis stamps including the chair are on sale over at Noor Design Uk.....we all love a sale dont we peeps.

I've also used my favourite leaf die........I love leaf dies & have a few....what I mean is I'e never got enough lol. This Rosy Owl Varigated one is my favourite though & looks fab if you bend the leaves to give them a bit of life.

Ok I'm gonna stopp my babble now as we have a appointment at 9.30.....thankfully its in our home so I dont have to rush off travelling as its 9.15 lol.

Pop on over to see my uber talented teamies & we hope to see lots of hearts & love at our challenge this month. So come along to here & join the fun for a fab prize.

Also I will be doing a tutorial next week so keep looking ;-)

Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx
