My Crafty Heart DT Card - Look no image

Hello peeps how are you all today? Well as you can see from the title I have a card with 'No Image' today, yeah I know unusual for me!

Todays card is for My Crafty Heart using a few of Teresa's yummy things that she has in her fabulous store.

Yes I've done 'No Stamping' what so ever, even the sentiment is digital lol. I just fancied doing something different for a change.

The oh so gorgeous papers are indeed Prima 'Romance Novel' & splashed acrylic paint on all the edges. 

The plaster corner is Melissa Frances, these are so so pretty.

Here is a closer look at this beautiful flower. I have used the Cheery Lynn 'Stacker Die 2' & tbh I wasnt sure what the flowers would look like but I thought why not lol. They are fabulous I think I've put about 4 layers on this & then clipped together with a brad. Expect to see more of these peeps lol.

Lace & doily are from my stash.

1 layer I put through the notebook punch. Both hearts have been heat embossed & then cracked & inked a bit to distress them. I'm actually quite pleased with this considering it has no image......

Ingredients used...........

Sentiment - Whimsy

Prima 'Romance Novel' - MCH

Pearls & pearl hearts - MCH

Melissa Frances Resin Corner - MCH

Cheery Lynn Stacker Flower - MCH

Mo's Challenge - Anything Goes

Some More Candy.................I dropped a clanger oops

Hello all of you beautiful people out there how are you? Well as you can see by the heading I have some more candy for you. Now before I get on with this candy I want to say a HUGE sorry as I didnt realise I dropped a clanger, until a lovely blogging friend told me, that when I put my candy pic on my sidebar I had put ends 6th september when that wasnt the right date. So because I felt awful I have rushed straight to my craft room & grabbed a few stamps. The sorting of my stamps is going very slow, there is always something else to do or I dont feel up to it.

I do have 1 drawer with stamps in that I know most of them I wont use so I grabbed these from there lol. 

There is a Bildmalarna stamp & a Kraftin' Kimmie stamps. The Kraftin' Kimmie stamps has been used once but still in original packaging, Bildmalarna is unopened.

This stamp is unopened & I have had this stamps since I first started crafting so its 2 & half years old & still unopened!!

This is 'Bingo' & 'Stamper'

These are Flippin' Stamps by La Pashe which I've had forever, I brought the whole collection & they have sat in my drawer..........I know I should be ashamed & I have slapped my wrist hard ;0)

Sorry about the photo's I will try get better ones up later, they are brand new, unused!!

This is 'Splish Splash' & 'Mr DIY'

Again this is brand new, unused. These are fabulous for those hard male cards. You can even stamp the inside of cards with the front image. They are excellent but I'm letting them sit & gather dust & I would love them to go to someone who will use them.

Ok now for the rules, the only rule is 1 entry per person & NO candy only blogs, thats it my lovelies.

I will keep this one running for a little bit longer but still not too long lol. 

So this candy will close 10th September.

So to win these 7 stamps all you have to do is leave a comment below & I will draw a winner on the 10th September.

Thank you sweeties mmwah xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cut the corners out using a MS punch & added Pearl Flower to 2 corners.

The flowers are by Prima Miss Godivas - Pebble, these are gorgeous fabric flowers. The small butterflies are what have been cut out using MB Butterfly Delights die, the larger one is from my punch. I have inked the edges, added Stardust Stickles & pink gems. Sentiment cut out using a Whimsy Die.

He is fine & back home thankfully now, back to his normal hip hop self lol.

Challenges I'm Entering...........

Dies To Die For - Anything Goes (2nd entry)

Elphine House - Dog Days Of Summer (not quite sure what it means?)

Wild Orchid Crafts - Layer It Up

Bit Of Altering..............

Hello my lovelies how are you? Well I've not done any crafting due to one thing & another so shall not bore you with the details. However a while ago I found sewing & crochet quite therapeutic when I'm in severe pain. So I had some herbal smelly-type cushions in my bathroom on the shelf that I thought I would pretty up.

The first one I did is for Natalies bedroom. WARNING PHOTO HEAVY!!

Apart from a few things everything is just what I've had in my stash forever.

This is what they looked like before they were also in a plastic container to protect them. The one pictured prettied up is the middle sized cushion. They look quite boring here dont they lol.

I'm quite pleased with how it turned out & it looks so pretty hanging next to Natalie's bed & smells beautiful.

This is at the back of the cushion I have sewn in pearls into each corner. The pink fabric I brought a few years back to make bedding & curtains for a bedroom in Natalie's doll house but when I got the fabric I realised the print was too big & a lot of the pattern & gems in it would be lost. So I used it on this, doubled the fabric up to make it thicker.

I added lots of lace & ribbon & a silver key charm.

The centre flower is a Prima Clemintine flower 'Bella', these fabric flowers are sooooo pretty!!!

Made a bow for the corner from some seam binding & attached a Resin Flower to the centre.

Added lots of lace around the edge.

Last photo lol. I made a handle for the top by string pearls together & attached them to the cushion & then I sewn on 2 pearl buttons.

Does not look boring now lol, altho it looks soooooooo much prettier IRL, it was so hard to take photo's of.

Resin flower & Prima flower from My Crafty Heart. Teresa has added spme lovely new items so why not pop on over to have a look, they are super gorgeous!!!

Also there are 2 new lovely ladies joining the My Crafty Heart DT why not pop on over here to meet the talented girlies.

Anyway if you made it to the end then.............YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY lol. You deserve a cuppa & a biccy........a choccy one at that.

I do have lots of commenting to catch up & catch up with my emails but I will be round if not tonight then in the morning. My youngest starts 6th Form tomorrow I'm gutted he wont be at home :0(

Thanks as always for stopping by it really means a lot. Take care my lovelies mmwah
